Just looking at the history of firearms law in nation’s largest cities undermine the central claim in Bruen.

reflecting the sharp partisan divide on the nation’s highest court, the Supreme Court struck down New York’s century-old gun law against concealed carry on Thursday. New Yorkers and residents of a handful of other states and the District of Columbia—which had more strictly regulated who can have a concealed-carry permit—must now accept the type of laws popular in Texas and other red states.

a fact that appears to have escaped the notice of Thomas and the court’s newest originalists despite their professed commitment to an interpretive approach that focuses on history, text, and tradition.

Great article. In the Roe decision, Alito invoked the lack of historical roots. In fact the long history of rulings on guns treated the 2nd as a limited right, not the wide open individual right pushed by conservative justices. History is on the side of gun control.

It doesnt have to make sense. They are SCOTUS for life and can do whatever the fuck they want to apparently.

Of course it does. The reasoning is nonsense. Lots of that coming from scotus of late.

Opinion | The Supreme Court found a way to make our gun problem worseOpinion by Colbert I. King: The Supreme Court found a way to make our gun problem worse Colbert is boring. Nonsense. All the court did was end an onerous process for a permit. People will still need to apply and follow the rules for conceal carry permits. We do not have a gun problem. We have a Politicians Not Enforcing Existing Laws problem. Like Hunter Biden not being prosecuted for lying on the federal background check form.

Watching white progs rage over based black man is frigin fantastic. You are by far the worst tv station I have every watched. Come on Clarence, let's get a 2fer! I really don't care who marries who, but the LGBTQ+ community is getting too out of control. The child grooming, the drag shows where they think it's ok to swing their 🍆 in children's faces crossed the line. Clarence, LFG! Repeal DODD!
