Turns out the 2nd Amendment isn't absolute

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected a petition from Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the couple who pointed guns at Black Lives Matters protesters outside their St. Louis, Mo., home.

…The court declined to hear the McCloskeys’ appeal as they attempted to end a probationary period tied to a suspension of their law licenses instituted by the Missouri Supreme Court in February.

…In their petition to the Supreme Court, the McCloskeys argued that their Second Amendment rights were being violated, and noted the pardon and the fact that their actions had been praised by Trump. The couple were denied cert — meaning that fewer than four justices wanted to hear the case — despite a six-to-three conservative majority on the court, which includes three justices appointed by Trump.

@Ozuye502 No one is taking away firearms! This is a false flag the gun lobby/industry keeps raising. Gun control laws are SCREENING laws to prevent dangerous and unfit people from having access to firearms. Similar to screening regulations at airports.

We already prohibit children from buying guns and ammo, so the principal of sensible gun safety laws has already long been in place. The 2nd Amendment is open to much interpretation. 2A is NOT an unrestricted right for any lunatic, criminal or half-wit to have access to any and all weapons,

The gun industry does not want any regulation of their deadly products as it would cut into their profits. Every year thousands of Americans pay the price for the gun industry's greed.
