What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCould two little words in a Supreme Court analysis change what's legal in your neighborhood?

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Hill reports that Justice Kavanaugh's idea of 'new circumstances' could open a path to gun restrictions.

  3. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNew circumstances. That's a front moving in, Vera. I can feel it in my sinuses.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe analysis says his logic about unanticipated developments in evidence maps neatly onto gun rules.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's an opinion piece about what a justice might do, not a ruling.

  6. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo no ruling.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNo ruling, no new law, nothing changes in your neighborhood this week. It's lawyers reading tea leaves, which Dale does at home anyway.

  8. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistUnanticipated is just a forecast nobody bothered to make. I've been saying that for years, and I'm not taking any credit.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorVerdict: eat a sandwich. Brock, I'll need ID before you forecast anything else.

  10. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFine, here's my ID, Vera, it's a library card from 1987.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNot accepted, Brock. We'll need a second form.
