Supreme Court Strikes Down New York State Gun Law 🤗

 

As JJ Sefton said rhetorically to Cornyn this morning: WHAT PART OF "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

2nd Amendment Victory! Justice Thomas' opinion issued on his birthday!

This decision affirms the 2nd Amendment.

The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self defense is not "a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees." We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant's right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self defense. New York's proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment in that it prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms. We therefore reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

I like how this was written as if Alito brought up Buffalo out of nowhere, and not that he was responding to Breyer, who brought it up first. I guess misleading the families of shooting victims isn't too unethical for NYT: https://t.co/q2EPqoAfeV pic.twitter.com/yMtyyh1gp1
