Liberal states have lost their collectivist hive mind in the wake of the 6-3 decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. How Dare you recognize a right defended by the Constitution and not the High Court. But wait, there’s more!
The Supreme Court followed up its June 23 landmark ruling that for the first time recognized a constitutional right to carry firearms in public for self-defense, by issuing a series of rulings June 30 reversing federal appeals court decisions that upheld gun restrictions in California, New Jersey, Maryland, and Hawaii.
It couldn’t have happened to four “nicer” states.
The rulings upheld excess permitting or licensing requirements like fingerprinting or the arbitrary ten-round magazine ban and requirements that larger magazines owned before the restriction be turned over to law enforcement.
In Hawaii, “a petitioner challenged Hawaii’s gun licensing system that allows the transportation of an unloaded firearm only in an enclosed container and only to and from a gun repair shop, target range, licensed gun dealer, hunting ground, or police station. Licensed firearms may only be used for hunting or target shooting. Licenses are issued by the chief of police of the county in which the gun owner lives.”
All four cases will have to be reviewed in light of the Jun 23 decision in Bruen. All four state’s AGs and assembled leftist losers are livid, shouting about public safety and protecting people from dangerous weapons.
The rank and file water carriers are helping spread the lie that this will allow guns into the hands of criminals. But that’s a lie. Shall issue permitting or licensing is predicated on the citizen’s ability to own or possess a firearm legally.
Criminals don’t ask permission. They don’t get background checks. They don’t file for a carry permit. And while every law has loopholes – look at the lives of the Clintons – new restrictions only ever affect people who will follow the law. The very people whom this Court decision attends.
Law-abiding citizens who can legally possess a firearm are allowed to carry it, and Democrats are terrified of that. Maybe they think you’re going to shoot them?
What are they doing that would make them think such a thing?
