And, if I remember my history correctly, that and the other concealed carry laws enacted during reconstruction were “selectively“ enforced and were intended to eliminate the ability of certain people (KKK victims) to defend themselves.
The Sullivan Act in NY similarly was put forth by a corrupt NYC politician because people dared to defend themselves from the thugs running the gangs in NYC,
I know from personal experience the Government has been spying on us at least 50 years. There was an 'annex' to the Capitol Hill telephone switchgear building where they listened to phone conversations on the whole exchange.
So we have
Justice Thomas included an entire section of the opinion addressing how gun control in the USA since the Civil War is largely rooted in racism. Also, the McDonald decision included a section as well, back in 2010.
Be sure to tell all leftists that support for gun control is support for racism.
If you want to read the section he wrote on the subject, go to the opinion (https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/20-843_7j80.pdf), and go to page 52 of the pdf.
Some of the examples:
“Pistols, old muskets, and shotguns were taken away from [freed slaves] as such weapons would be wrested from the hands of lunatics”
An assistant commissioner to the Bureau from Alabama similarly reported that men were “robbing and disarming negroes upon the highway,”
indicating that blacks indeed carried arms publicly for their self-protection, even if not always with success.

(describing a Ku Klux Klan outfit that rode “through the country robbing every one they come across of money, pistols, papers, &c.”); (noting how a black man in Tennessee had been murdered on his way to get book subscriptions, with the murderer taking, among other things, the man’s pistol).
There are many more, but saving the best for last, here's one that screams it loud and clear:
Blacks had “procured great numbers of old army muskets and revolvers, particularly in Texas,” and “employed them to protect themselves” with “vigor and audacity.” S. Exec.Doc. No. 43, 39th Cong., 1st Sess., at 8.
Seeing that government was inadequately protecting them, “there [was] the strongest desire on the part of the freedmen to secure arms,

In Thomas’ opinion, he clearly outlines historical public carry restrictions that began in the colonies and continued in the states, even after ratification of the Second Amendment in 1791. See State v. Reid, 1 Ala. 612, 35 Am. Dec. 44 (1840) as an example.
“The act of the 1st of February, 1839, "To suppress the evil practice of carrying weapons secretly," does not either directly, or indirectly tend to divest the citizen of the "right to bear arms in defence of himself and the State;" and is, therefore consistent with the 23d section of the 1 Art. of the constitution.”
Ha, we took guns away from american indigenous people, AFTER we gave them the guns or they stole them. Why? Cause they used them against the 'settlers'. In the wild EAST! During the Civil War, blacks were disarmed to prevent and 'internal' conflict. Normal military tactic, disarm dissidents. Like what is going on in the US now.
The abortion ruling today just added more to it. This week is not a good one for them.

Yes, it is my understanding that you are correct on each point.
Certainly I'm not saying the government is only recently tyrannical and corrupt. It's just more obvious in recent decades, and many people will defend it in the thought it makes them more secure.
Biden and company are already talking about packing the courts again. I think we triggered the left hard.
‘We’ didn’t trigger shit. In this specific instance, NY could have changed their law, but chose not to. In the abortion case, Missouri put in a place a 15 week timeline. Abortion rights group didn’t like it and sued.

Fairfax, Va. – The National Rifle Association (NRA) welcomes the Supreme Court’s decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen. The Court affirmed that the right to bear arms does not stop at a person’s front door. This is the most significant Second Amendment ruling in more than a decade.
From Bearing Arms blog comments to NRA statement:
NYSRPA is affiliated with the NRA, so there’s ample reason for them to take a victory lap over this one. Frankly, they deserve it.
FYI: for the history on the 'may issue' NY state law that was the basis for this legal case here is a Wikipedia entry shortcut.

I suspect they will do just fine on their own.Bruen attorneys leave law firm after being told to ditch 2A clients

Yes, but the real biggie is a very old SCOTUS decision exending the “Interstate Commerce Clause”.
If they reverse that one, we go back to pure federalism, and the entire “big government” and its “deep state” come tumbling down.
I don’t think that they have the guts to “do the right thing”; but we may be surprised.
Pray !
