Back in June, the US Supreme Court overturned a New York gun law over concealed carry. That case was decided by a 6-3 ruling with the three leftists on the court probably not even bothering to read the briefs. Writing the majority opinion for the Court, Justice Clarence Thomas said that “when the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct.”
The case was about New York’s proper-cause requirement violating the Fourteenth Amendment “by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense.”
In the state’s response to that ruling, Democrats in New York passed legislation making Times Square a gun-free zone where the legislation even bans concealed carry permit holders from carrying for self defense. Will they ever learn?
If you want to understand why so many crazed shooters choose to go to school buildings to commit mass shootings you have to look no further than gun-free school zone laws where a shooter knows there will be no responsible adult inside the school who could shoot back at them. The shooters know that to be able to shoot as many people as possible, just find a gun-free school zone.
You would think after so many shootings that took place in gun-free school zones over the last decade or two, the Democrats would pick up on that, admit they made a serious mistake, and take actions to remedy it. Nope. They never learn. And because they never learn, they now want to do to Times Square what they have done to schools across the country.
What makes these clowns in New York government think a criminal will not use a gun in Times Square now that they have made themselves feel virtuous by passing a gun-free zone there? Criminals do not obey the law. It’s why we call them criminals. Duh.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELFor years, a left-wing Supreme Court handed down rulings that anyone could understand went contrary to the written words in the US Constitution and the liberals championed them every time. Roe v Wade is but just one example.
Almost immediately after the NEW YORK STATE RIFLE & PISTOL ASSOCIATION, INC., ET AL. v. BRUEN case was concluded, New York Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul (not elected) and the Democrat-controlled legislature created a plethora of new gun control laws, including creating the idea of “sensitive” areas where concealed carry of guns is barred.
Hochul claims to be an attorney, but I guess she fell asleep during the Constitution and the Bill of Rights law school classes because she issued an insane statement after she signed the new gun control measures back in July:
“The Supreme Court issued a reckless decision removing century-old limitations on who is allowed to carry concealed weapons in our state — senselessly sending us backward and putting the safety of our residents in jeopardy. Today, we are taking swift and bold action to protect New Yorkers. After a close review of the NYSRPA vs. Bruen decision and extensive discussions with constitutional and policy experts, advocates, and legislative partners, I am proud to sign this landmark legislative package that will strengthen our gun laws and bolster restrictions on concealed carry weapons.”
Liberals think because a law has been around for a long time, it must be legal. The fact is, no one took the New York law to a Supreme Court that actually understands the law. The same Supreme Court recently overturned the 1973 Roe v Wade decision because it concluded that the Constitution gives the federal Congress 18 enumerated powers and abortion is not one of them.
Maybe some day it will get beyond the five layers of concrete in Kathy Hochul’s skull and she will figure out that people who go out of their way to get a concealed carry permit overwhelmingly are not a threat to residents of the state. That would be criminals with guns, a group of people Democrat have never addressed in any of their gun control laws where they go after law-abiding gun owners and the inanimate guns themselves. Telling your own residents that they are not allowed to defend themselves, especially in light of radical progressive district attorneys who are not prosecuting criminals who wind up back on the streets to commit crimes against people who are not allowed to carry a concealed weapon.
