The nation's highest court on Wednesday spent nearly two hours wrestling with the concealed carry of handguns in public places and discretionary permitting requirements in nearly a dozen states that impose limits in the interest of public safety. The oral arguments on Second Amendment rights --...

Are the Antis worried?

What Happens if the Supreme Court Strikes Down New York's Gun Law?

New York state has one of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, sharply limiting people’s ability to carry weapons outside their homes. But questioning from Supreme Court justices this week suggested that the law could soon be declared unconstitutional, upending the way the state...

From the article.

"It's a little surreal that we have justices in Supreme Court suggesting that it would be great to have more and more people armed walking the streets of the city," he said.

More quotes taken from the above link.

While most guns used in shootings in New York City are not owned legally, research has shown that the vast majority of crime guns are often purchased legally in states with less restrictive laws and smuggled into the city. Iesha Sekou, an anti-violence activist in Harlem, said that weakening gun laws would only make the problem worse.

and

In New York City, police officials have expressed concern that illegal guns are increasingly finding their way into the hands of teenagers or being used to target them. Sekou recalled how, last week, she watched a 17-year-old boy die after he was shot in the chest in Harlem and consoled his mother after she arrived to the scene.

Yeah.....it seems to me that.....the Antis missed the point (as usual).

But then....
The media often blurs the lines and/or can't tell the difference, between "legal and illegal".

EXAMPLE : Talking about/describing someone who has entered the country w/o proper authorization or has overstayed. Yup....choosing to call them "migrants" instead.

So maybe.....they just don't know $@#^ about either subject?

Stop Treating the Second Amendment as a Second-Class Right

For decades, federal courts have largely ignored the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms—a protection explicitly guaranteed by the Constitution's text.

Same argument they've been making about Chicago for years, and the actual data has disproved that for an equal amount of time but the media will never step up and return to the roots of legit journalism.

Rrrright.....the justification for gun and owner registrations and UBC. But.....it's just the START.

Nevermind about punishing the guilty who illegally used or illegally acquired the firearms.

So then.....
It's about cracking down on the law abiding.

Rrrrright......because THEY are the PROBLEM.

Pretty sure up next for the Supreme Court is going to be very pressing issues that will shape the nation, and solidify our constitutional rights as US citizens.


I have it on good authority, they'll soon be deliberating on whether they'll have chines food for lunch or pizza?


I suspect Alito will throw a curve ball and request Tacos

That headline makes me chuckle. The mental image of supreme court justices duking it out with ARs in the Capitol is priceless.

 

[ZigZagZeke]

"Today's argument made clear that even the court's most conservative justices have hesitations about granting the gun lobby its ultimate goal in this case - the unrestricted right to carry guns in all public places at all times," said Eric Tirschwell, executive director of Everytown Law.

Perhaps Mr. Tirschwell can tell us in which public places we are absolutely safe from violence and don't need to protect ourselves.

I really, really hate it when I have to listen to some talking head read something to me over 5 or 10 minutes when I could have read it myself in 45 seconds.

A LOT of these video news postings are for the benefit of.....

Those who refuse to "read".

+++++++++

Like for example....
The WA voters who said they knew nothing of I-1639 until only just recently (when they were attempting to buy a semi-auto rifle).

So then? Does that mean that they didn't READ their ballot before voting? Or maybe they just "filed" their ballot in the trash can?

Rrrrrrright.......READING.
