Every since the High Court justices decided on their own to give Americans the ‘Right’ to own guns from a 2nd Amendement that does NOT go their?
The succeeding justices have supported this…..
Even with a new ‘American Safe Streets’ law coming?
NOTHING is gonna stop the “Right’ the court made up….
America has a firmly established gun ‘culture’…
Even Democrats will NOT seek to take away assault rifles or any ‘Right’to bear arms’….
Even with the daily mass shootings?
Gun buying climbs……
American’s LOVE their guys….
The Supreme’s know this and have acted accordingly….
Subsequent Bans initiated by some states are sure to be knocked down the High Court….
The court did rule that gun carrying maybe excluded from certain places by government officals….
The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that Americans have a broad right to arm themselves in public, striking down a New York law that placed strict limits on carrying guns outside the home and setting off a scramble in other states that have similar restrictions.
The decision is expected to spur a wave of lawsuits seeking to loosen existing state and federal restrictions and will force five states — California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts and New Jersey, home to a quarter of all Americans — to rewrite their laws.
The ruling follows the mass shootings last month in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas, and was handed down on a day when the Senate neared approval of a set of modest gun control measures, a major step toward ending a yearslong stalemate in Congress.
The 6-to-3 decision again illustrated the power of the six conservative justices, all of whom voted to strike down the New York law, in setting the national agenda on social issues. The court’s three liberal members dissented.
The Second Amendment, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the majority, protects “an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.” States can continue to prohibit guns in some locations like schools and government buildings, Justice Thomas wrote, but the ruling left open where exactly such bans might be allowed….
…
The majority opinion announced a general standard by which courts must now judge restrictions on gun rights, one that relies on historical assessments: “The government must demonstrate that the regulation is consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
In focusing heavily on history, Justice Thomas rejected the standard used by most lower courts, which considered whether the law advanced an important government interest.
He acknowledged that the historical inquiry the court now requires will not always be straightforward.
Justice Thomas wrote that states remained free to ban guns in sensitive places, giving a few examples: schools, government buildings, legislative assemblies, polling places and courthouses.
