But burning man provides the infrastructure. This like burning man but with no food, water, gas, place to stay, and folks possibly shooting at you...not exactly a direct comparison.

(Anyone else remember the Drive By Shooting Range? Drums of avgas, stuffed toys, tracer rounds, and tequila, all from the back of a moving pickup - what could possibly go wrong?)

    It ran for maybe 5 years from memory. 99.999% certain nobody got killed. I only got to play once. It was _amazingly_ stupid fun!

  I still quite wonder how it is constitutional for the BLM to ban firearms during Burning Man.

    What part of the Constitution would it violate? Is it unconstitutional to ban firearms when boarding a flight? When attending a speech by the President of the United States? When visiting your spouse in jail?

      All of those examples have passed the scrutiny of the courts. Just banning firearms in large groups hasn’t.

        Well the only way to get court scrutiny is to gain standing and sue them.

        You can infer whether it would pass by past cases.

    I rather expect burning man banned it themselves, they get to set the rules for their own event

      It’s a federal government mandate, as burning man is on federal land administrated by the BLM.

    The Constitution limits what the government can do, not private citizens or corporations.

Burning Man doesn't provide any of those things for attendees.
