New York Libs are about to be outraged as a case has appeared before the Supreme Court of the United States about concealed carry guns and how it is difficult to get that permit in New York but is easily obtained in other states. And according to some of the Justice’s commentary, it looks like New York is about to get some gun rights back.
“The Supreme Court appears inclined to wipe out a series of gun control measures that require firearm owners to show a particular, unusual need to get a permit to carry a gun outside the home.
During arguments Wednesday, on New York state’s strict gun laws, the high court’s conservative majority signaled that it is likely to rule that the constitutional right to keep and bear arms precludes states from insisting that individuals show “proper cause” before being licensed to carry a firearm for self-defense.
The Republican-appointed justices contended that such rules treat Second Amendment rights as inferior to other constitutional rights like freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh said he was troubled that New York’s system allows officials “blanket discretion” to accept or reject a request for a permit. “That’s just not how we do constitutional rights,” Kavanaugh said.
Chief Justice John Roberts expressed similar reservations.
“You don’t have to say when you’re looking for a permit to speak on a street corner that your speech is particularly important,” Roberts said. “The idea you need a license to exercise the right, I think, is unusual in the context of the Bill of Rights.”
With any luck, the Justices will write this up in such a way that gun owners stuck in other blue states can get some of their rights back too. Americans really need their rights back especially now, since Dems defunded the police last year and crime is on the rise, due to police being so short-staffed.
