US Supreme Court affirms right to keep and bear arms

[SwizzLake]

The decision in part states:

“New York’s proper-cause requirement violates 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.”

if i'm reading the decision right this goes way beyond concealed carry, the right to own any sort of weapon is now stronger than any other right enshrined in the constitution. we got even beyond strict scrutiny, the only question is "was this ever historically allowed by society" and no amount of compelling interest can overwhelm it. brb gonna go celebrate by giving my girl the most epic throat pie.

You are reading it correctly. This decision is devastating for those that were pushing to ban guns or put limitations.

This comes on the heels of the FDA banning Juul vapes

It's official — Juul e-cigarettes are now banned in the US

The brand gained popularity in 2017 but has since tumbled in value. Juul Labs had faced scrutiny from the FDA over concerns it targeted minors.

So it’s ok to buy a gun.
It’s ok to rape a woman and force her to have your baby.


But it’s not ok to vape?

This is stupid
The entire planet does not want guns in their country
This is 100% a new world problem, as in a recently colonized country.

I think we also have to remember that the Court does not make laws, they interpret and apply the law.. a judge can interpret and apply a law they fundamentally disagree with, but they must do it because that's their role, and they cannot go beyond that. Lawmakers can change the laws.

Better get used to those insane 6-3 votes, folks. Right wing got this on lock and the only elderly conservative is Thomas, who likely retires in 2025 if a republican wins the WH.

Have a supreme court full of people that think Jesus was a white man with a gun and the constitution was divinely inspired brehs.
