    If I hadn't heard of the decision from the Supreme Court, by the title of the merged threads I would have thought it was old news.

    I do believe this will open up for more states to moved towards constitutional carry.
    I think it's a big step in other states getting overturned on the same grounds. It sure opens the door IMO.

    The correct ruling is so f***ing obvious, all nine should have decided the same way. I'm mildly surprised Roberts went along, even though he did vote correctly on Heller.

    But of course the Three Commies have to stamp their feet.

    Totally agree with you, just that the three dissenters wasn't a surprise in the least.

    Those three vote on feelings rather than law.

    I look for some sort of backlash from New York politicians and legislators in light of this SCOTUS ruling. But I see the new ruling possibly hindering them quite a bit. I hope anyways.


    No doubt we'll see some backlash. But at some point, people will just start following Keith Olbermann's advice, and ignore state legislatures and their unconstitutional BS. The state then incarcerates those people, those people sue and get many millions of dollars. The state then gets the message and learns to behave.

    We also need to remember who helped make this possible.

    The NRA and it’s largest affiliate, the New York Rifle and Pistol Association, were obviously huge players here. The NRA isn't perfect, but here's an example of them helping to get important stuff done.

    President Donald Trump, and all of us who voted for him. His 3 Justices all signed on to this.

    Senator Ted Cruz -- read his Senate amicus brief, and then read this decision. You'll see his brief was very important to this decision.

    The ramifications from this decision haven't even started to trickle yet. For example, we are all pissed off about the ERPOs in the new gun control bill, right? Well guess what? ERPOs are very likely unconstitutional as of now. Bans on magazine capacity, "assault" weapons, you name it -- arguably none of them pass the text / history test which is now the supreme law of the land.

    Some of them surely will get by, perhaps even many of them. But many of them will bite the dust, no doubt about it, and an infinite number of potential gun control laws have now been prevented from ever being tried thanks to everyone mentioned above, and many others who helped along the way.

    That could be a good thing. Let them put out more unconstitutional legislation. Then SCOTUS can smack them again and set more important precedents.

    From listening to the NY governor, they are looking to enact new laws to get around the ruling. I look to them to find reasons to make sure law-abiding citizens are prohibited from carrying.

    "We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant’s right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self-defense," Thomas wrote.

    In future ConLaw 101 classes, they will use Justice Thomas as an example of how a Justice should write opinions.

    Anyone (even an idiot like me) can read Thomas' opinions and understand what is being said. No BS, not half written in Latin or legalese, not hiding behind some pretense of flowery, "I'm better than you" prose.

    All laws and all legal matters should be required (by law!) to be written in this way. If your bill or legal decision can only be understood by a lawyer, it should never be allowed to exist.

    Think of the mayhem! It could be dangerous for officials to impose another lockdown when someone gets the sniffles, knowing the plebs may have firearms.

    If the state can ignore the Court, then the people can ignore the state, right Keith? Hey, let's just go full anarchy, and see how long effeminate, anti-gun leftists survive in Olbermann's fantasy world.

    Yep, their insanity always seems to blind them to the full picture of whatever they are enraged over.

    New York governor is pissed!



    Pushback is already starting!


    I'll see your "Founding Father's and muskets" statement with my, "Founding Fathers and the internet" argument.

    Most of us here would probably do fairly well with muskets and no internet. I'm thinking that in the same scenario, most modern day liberals would shrivel up and die.
