Closer to what? Absolute rule by a minority of Americans on all issues?

By the way, the word is "precedent".

What’s with the “dead criminals can’t reoffend” part of your post. Are you suggesting it’s open season on suspected criminals because of some court ruling? And what are you stepping closer to, anarchy?

@StevetheSleeve They don't know what their message is. All they know to do is scream along with their friends like a 4-year-old who doesn't even know what he's screaming [u]for[/u].

@Slade So much for innocent until proven guilty.

@Theyitis That only applies to court counselor

@soar2newhighs Jan 6th Commission is exposing election fraud.......BY TRUMP and his cronies...........not stealing. Stealing and corruption and financial fraud is Trump's hallmark. Well understood and exposed already. Trump University.......stealing every dime from a children's cancer charity.....a disabled veterans charity........using campaign finance funds to pay off (bribe) prostitutes......cheating on his taxes....fraudulently inflating the value of his own real estate holdings to get loans and then devaluing them on his tax forms.....the list is 76 years long.

@windinhishair sorry but I’d expect an idiotic comment about white supremacy from Biden or some losers in his administration, but if that’s your opinion so be it.
My point is that the criminal element whoever it is/ they are might think twice before going after someone knowing they might be on the receiving end of a well aimed and discharged bullet.
You’d be wise if you want to follow this white supremacy theme, to realize the majority of criminal activity in NYC is not carried out by whites. It’s carried out by people of color.

@windinhishair Again this in NY will give pause to criminals, regardless of whether they’re in heavily Republican or Democratic, especially Democratic areas.
I guess you’ll have to live with the SCOTUS ruling won’t you?
And so will the criminal element too. Never know who you screw with; and how they might handle that.

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@soar2newhighs More guns mean more gun deaths. It is as simple as that.

Yes, we will have to live with the SCOTUS ruling until such point that it is overturned by a future Court and the Second Amendment is interpreted correctly. That may be decades off, but it will be overturned, just like Plessy v. Ferguson was.

@windinhishair Time will tell.

Jill1990 · 31-35, F

Wonderful - more guns - more killings. Beautiful indeed.

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@Jill1990 Lots of killings. Big, beautiful killings. No one had ever seen such big beautiful killings, I'm telling you.

@Jill1990 yes more guns and there's NOTHING you can do about it.

@Ozuye502 I was killing people in war while ur daddy was jacking off dozens just like you. I've been carrying longer than you have been alive. And any time a law says you can NOW shoot and not need a justifiable reason............where do you think that is headed? DUH!!!

Ozuye502 · 36-40, M

@anythingoes477 well my father didn’t go to nam but uncle did. Father did 33 years on the streets as 5-0 cousins were in Iraq Afghanistan Somalia all had a hand in my training with a firearm.
Sorry I confused your “peace symbol” for you not understanding tactics and the responsibility of what it means to pack led and steel.

anythingoes477 · M

@Ozuye502 Carry long enough and use what you carry enough and you will stop getting a hardon thinking about how you can kill others. A peace sign then makes the kinds sense you will never understand.

stratosranger · M

I’m still glad I no longer live in NJ but very happy about this. It’s a step in the correct direction

Elessar · 26-30, M

Who could've ever expected this from a mostly republican supreme court. Totally unpredictable

More to the point, gun legislation is no longer to be weighed against public policy or other rights of other citizens.

Mercifully, perhaps, there were concurring opinions, but this statement pretty much makes it clear that Thomas doesnt think that public policy or other rights are relevant:

[quote]
When the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct. The government must then justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. Only then may a court conclude that the individual’s conduct falls outside the Second Amendment’s “unqualified command.” Konigsberg, 366 U. S., at 50, n. 10.ppq
[/quote]

This, imo, is outrageous.

'Murica fuck yeah! 😖

In reading Justice Thomas this is a win for the constitution

@MistyCee They all bolstered the holding

MistyCee

@Slade What's the "holding," though?

Filling Manhattan with guns, or making it clear that States can't pass laws to protect the lives of their citizens past what they did in 1789?

It's that last part I'm way more worried about.

MistyCee

@GJOFJ3 It's a win for the 2nd Amendment, but there's a whole bunch of other rights and language that its not so good for.

In NY at least it will give those inclined to commit personal/ violent crimes against others a few seconds to think…” does he/ she have a weapon they’ll use against me?”

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@soar2newhighs It will not have that effect at all. It [b]will [/b]have the effect of increasing white supremacist violence against others on the subway, on other public transportation, in sports stadiums, and in places of business, since many gun nuts will be carrying everywhere.

Theyitis · 36-40, M

@soar2newhighs Most people aren’t trained well enough to successfully shoot back at a violent criminal. Besides, most violent criminals are crazy/heated enough they don’t care what kind of retaliation they might get.

soar2newhighs

@Theyitis I honestly don’t know what NY state might require for those owning weapons but would hope that those who now are allowed to carry have received training. I would think the state might have the right to mandate such training.
Well as an instructor in basic training stated, “ a well placed bullet, WILL fuck up your whole day!”
We will need to see how this ruling plays out.
