Good day all. Since the appointment of Associate Justice Amy Barrett to the United State Supreme Court, locking out the “Living Constitution” wing of the court, there have been several 2nd Amendment cases that the court refused to hear. This has concerned some who thought that the Trump appointees would move to restore the 2nd Amendment. Well, the wait is over. It has been announced that the court is going to hear a case that has major ramifications.
The case ins question revolves around carrying a concealed firearm in public. Many states, all of them controlled by the Progressive Liberal Totalitarian Democratic CommuNazi Party, have long ignored the 2nd Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms.
Some of them are so militant in denying people their rights, that it’s impossible to have the tools needed to defend yourself against criminals. A case was filed and has been moving through the system and has now reached the Supreme Court. For the first time in a good 10 years, the court has decided to hear the case. Here are the details from Fox News:
The Supreme Court announced Monday that it will hear a major gun rights case over whether ordinary citizens can be legally prohibited from carrying concealed handguns for self-defense outside their homes.
The case, brought by the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, challenges a New York law that prohibits citizens from carrying a gun outside their home without a license that the state makes difficult to obtain.
New York, New Jersey and a few other states are what is called “May issue” states when it comes to CCW’s. (Concealed Carry Weapon) Many states, and I think it’s the majority now, are “Shall issue” or are Constitutional Carry states. (No license or permits required) Most “May issue” states routinely deny permits for the average person, but will grant them to politically connected people. That turns the 2nd Amendment from a right to a privilege.
“The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted limited to the following question: Whether the State’s denial of petitioners’ applications for concealed-carry licenses for self-defense violated the Second Amendment,” the court said in an order.
The state requires license applicants to show that “proper cause exists” for a person to have one. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in August that the law is constitutional.
The 2nd Circuit has a few Trump judges on it, but most are old, (and I mean ancient), Bush, Clinton and Carter judges with a couple of Obama judges thrown in for good measure. Basically most of them put the needs of the state ahead of the rights of the people.
New York is among eight states that limit who has the right to carry a weapon in public. The others are: California, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
New Jersey is basically a police state, as is Hawaii. Kalifornistan is, for all intents and purposes a collapsing Third world country. Massachusetts learned what happens in 1776 when people get angry at the government and have gone to great lengths to see to it that the means to remove the moonbats running the commonwealth is not available.
The case could be the biggest gun rights case the high court has heard in more than a decade, as the high court in recent years has rarely weighed in on Second Amendment issues.
Big is an understatement. There have ben a couple of other cases that the court turned away, making a lot of pro-Constitution people wonder what was going on. Without question, Chief Justice Roberts has been doing everything he can to keep a 2nd Amendment case from reaching the court. I’ve also heard that several other justices, including Justice Barrett have been looking for just the right case to expand Heller.
Paul Clement, representing challengers to New York’s permit law, said the court should use the case to settle the issue once and for all. “Thus, the nation is split, with the Second Amendment alive and well in the vast middle of the nation, and those same rights disregarded near the coasts,” Clement wrote on behalf of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association and two New York residents.
The coasts are generally run by big government globalists of the RINO persuasion or by the Progressive Liberal Democrats who make Karl Marx look like a conservative Republican. Both of these groups consider the Constitution to be either “Advisory” at best, or a flat out dead letter that can be ignored.
Out in what is called “Flyover” country, you have a lot of small cities and towns that have smaller governments that have to be responsive to the voters. They also have a large number of people who like to go hunting or otherwise like to engage in the shooting sports. These people consider that the Constitution means exactly what it says.
Calling on the court to reject the appeal, the state, (New York) said its law promotes public safety and crime reduction and neither bans people from carrying guns nor allows everyone to do so.
Do these morons even look at the statistics out there? Preventing law abiding citizens from keeping or bearing guns does NOT reduce crime, in fact it’s just the opposite. Crime has skyrocketed in New York and other states, including the criminal misuse of firearms. (Criminals don’t care at all about gun laws when they are robbing, raping and murdering. They also don’t have problems getting either)
The case should be heard by the court sometime this fall. If the justices actually read the constitution and the 2nd Amendment, they will have to rule that the draconian anti-gun laws on the books are unconstitutional. We can count on Justices Kagan and Sotomeyer to rule against the 2nd Amendment. (If they had their way they would overturn Heller and rule that no one has a right to own a gun) Justice Breyer will probably also rule against the Constitution, since he has a history giving the State whatever it wants.
Chief Justice Roberts is a bit of a wild card here. There is little question that his preferences are to give the state whatever it wants, and there are rumors that the Democrats have something they can blackmail him with, (Pictures of him with Jeffrey (I didn’t kill myself) Epstein have come out).
This leaves the Trump justices Barrett, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, who are generally Constitutional constructionists. They believe the Constitution means just what it says. You also have Justice Thomas who has been looking for a 2nd Amendment case to come before him, along with Justice Alito, who in previous ruling throughout his career, has been very pro 2nd Amendment.
Obviously, I can’t see into the future, and I certainly am NOT a lawyer. Considering that at least 4 members of the court voted to hear this case makes it appear likely the right to Bear arms is going to be restored, and potentially put an end to the need to get permission to exercise your 2nd Amendment right from the government. We shall see what the court has to say in the summer of 2022. (I believe that’s when any rulings will be made)
