The Supreme Court Won’t Be Bolstering the Second Amendment Any Time Soon
Jun 16, 2020


The Supreme Court has decided not to take action on certain cases dealing with the scope of the Second Amendment.

Although the court is ostensibly conservative, lol, the justices turned down petitions from 10 challenges to state laws that limited the “availability and accessibility of some firearms and when they can be carried in public,” said a CNN report.

The last landmark Second Amendment decisions were District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) and McDonald v. Chicago (2010), which upheld an American citizen’s right to keep and bear arms. Since these pro-Second Amendment decisions, the court has not taken up a significant Second Amendment case again. As recently as April, the court refused to weigh in on a case regarding a New York handgun law that regulates the t***sportation of firearms.

CNBC reports:

The cases rejected by the court involved questions of whether laws banning interstate handgun sales in some cases violate the Second Amendment, whether there is a constitutional right to carry a firearm outside the home for self-defense if Illinois and Massachusetts can ban assault rifles and large-capacity ammunition magazines, and whether a state can limit handgun permits to people who demonstrate a specific need for self-defense.

Jacob Charles, executive director of the Center for Firearms Law at Duke Law School, was caught by surprise at the court's decision not to address any of the Second Amendment petitions. "The petitions denied today presented some of the biggest open questions in Second Amendment law, including what types of weapons the Constitution protects and how and whether the right extends outside the home," Charles stated. "For now, it appears that a majority of the Court is content to let these issues be sorted out by the lower courts."

Several justices on the bench have made it clear in recent years about their intent on hearing Second Amendment cases. In May, Justice Brett Kavanaugh voiced his concerns about lower courts ignoring precedents established by the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh suggested that the court "address that issue soon, perhaps in one of the several Second Amendment cases with petitions for certiorari now pending before the Court."

Back in 2018, Justice Clarence Thomas criticized lower courts for treating the Second Amendment rights "cavalierly."

Jonathan Lowy, Chief Counsel and Vice President of the anti-gun organization Brady: United Against Gun Violence declared that the court's decision not to hear any Second Amendment cases is "well-reasoned.

"Today's decision is welcome, but we are vigilant that there remains a concerted effort to reverse it and undermine our nation's hard-earned progress in instituting common-sense gun safety measures and that those arguments have found sympathy with several of the Justices," Lowy told CNN in a statement.

America’s judicial system plays a crucial role in defending our civil liberties. The courts, though, and above all, the Supreme Court, will not always be there to save gun owners.

Second Amendment activists must take this to heart and start focusing their efforts in their state legislatures. State governments are just as capable of infringing on our rights, which necessitates a strong response from activists. By being engaged at all levels of government, we can avoid having to wait on the Supreme Court to save us all the time.

PS. if Biden wins in just 150 or fewer days, you will then watch the 2nd amendment go into the shredder forever. To many of the justices have conservative coats on but are lefties in their hearts.

Get off your knees and stand up America! Americans stopped kneeling to tyranny in 1776.

Our country vehemently rejects submission and adamantly rejects w***e s*******y AND black supremacy. Racial pandering and prostrating is un-American. It is reverse discrimination and political exploitation of the black community by race-baiting Democrats. Law-abiding Americans, black and white, want e******y and ordered liberty. Freedom and e******y is a colorblind American privilege.

R**ting and anarchy never lead to peace – they are the precursors of tyranny. Costumed, kneeling Nancy Pelosi and her g*******t handlers are deliberately fomenting racial d******eness, social chaos, and anarchy in their bid to make America ungovernable and defeat President Trump in November. Chaos is the Democrat party political strategy and the preferred political strategy of tyrants. This is how it works.

Tyranny is a binary social structure of rulers and the ruled. The ruling masters, monarchs, oligarchs, emperors, and dictators all consider the subjects they rule to be property. Not in America! In America we belong to ourselves. It is a privilege to be an American citizen and to live in a society where individual rights, upward mobility, and private property create a robust middle class that supports freedom. Equal opportunity, not equal outcome, is the privilege and guarantee of e******y in America.

The middle class is the buffer against tyranny, including the tyranny of a permanent political ruling class in America. America is on fire because the desperate Democrats and their g*******t handlers are fomenting, funding, and encouraging anarchy. Their promise of equal outcome is the great lie of the 21st century because it destroys the middle class and denies individual freedom.

The promise of equal outcome is rooted in collectivism and cradle-to-grave socialism. Here is the problem. Collectivism, whether it is socialism, c*******m, or Islamism, is a binary social structure of rulers and the ruled. The rulers control all means of production and its distribution. There is no upward mobility, individual rights, private property, or middle class in collectivism because the individual does not own or control what he produces – the government does.

There is no freedom without a middle class in America, only the political class of rulers and the ruled. The r**ting and l**ting is deliberately destroying the private businesses of the middle class in America, black and white. The publicly-traded g*******t business sector is participating in the wreckage by pandering to racially d******e groups like Black L***s M****r.

We do not kneel in America! We stand tall for liberty, equal opportunity, and law and order. We are all privileged Americans and reject the racially d******e groveling that is reverse discrimination designed to foment race r**ts. The colors of America are red, white, and blue because ALL L***S M****R in America!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent performance is pure political theater. She should get off her knees, take off her unnecessary mask, remove her contrived African Kente sash, and get back to work. Black and white communities require a robust, independent, working middle class to be free. American civil rights leader Martin Luther King's unifying, colorblind message of e******y supports peace and prosperity in America, Malcolm X’s d******e message of black supremacy supports anarchy.

The law-abiding white community must stand with the law-abiding black community and get off our knees and back to work! Together we must acknowledge our American privilege and deny the democrats and their g*******t handlers the racial d******eness they need to collapse America from within and become the permanent political party that will ens***e us all.

Do not be fooled by the political theatrics of masks, social distancing, r**ting, and l**ting. They are weapons in the war against America designed to create social chaos and collapse the U.S. economy by destroying the middle class. The goal is to replace our capitalist infrastructure with their binary socialist nightmare in pr********n for a one-world government of rulers and the ruled.

Reverse discrimination and self-loathing are political tools designed to make us kneel in surrender. Stand up America – American privilege is colorblind! ALL L***S M****R in America. Anything less is un-American and unacceptable.

Joe Biden, the Democrats’ presumptive 2020 p**********l nominee, told “The Daily Show” Wednesday that he expects President Donald Trump to try to “steal” the p**********l e******n and expressed hope that the United States military would remove Donald Trump from the White House if he refused to vacate.

Echoing conspiracy theorists, including failed 2016 p**********l contender Hillary Clinton, Biden explained vague comments he’d made previously, telling “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah that he believes Trump will not accept a loss at the b****t box and that the president will try to create chaos around the e******n.
