The late Dalton Trumbo would have had a field-day writing about today’s SCOTUS decision on guns.
The Court’s ruling was only the second major statement on the scope of the individual constitutional right to keep and bear arms and its first on how the right applies to firearms in public places.
Basically, it struck down a New York law that placed strict limits on carrying guns outside the home, saying it was at odds with the Second Amendment.
The decision has far-reaching implications, particularly in cities that had sought to address gun crimes by putting restrictions on who can carry them.
The vote was 6 to 3, with the court’s three liberal members in dissent.
The court’s reluctance to hear Second Amendment cases changed as its membership shifted to the right in recent years.
Trump’s three appointees – Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett – have ALL expressed support for gun rights.
Mass shootings are/will continue to be an everyday occurrence across the country.
Simply put: SCOTUS has made that possible by misinterpreting the Second Amendment by ignoring our growing militia component…and their troubling violent mindset!!!
