RIGHT-WING SUPREME COURT CONTINUES ITS “GREAT FRAUD” ABOUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT – By Jon Schwarz (The Intercept) / June 24, 2022
As former Chief Justice Warren Burger said: “The Framers clearly intended to secure the right to bear arms essentially for military purposes.”
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS BEFORE the Supreme Court eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion on Friday, it significantly expanded gun rights with its decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. In the Thursday ruling, the same six conservative justices who struck down Roe v. Wade voided an 111-year-old New York law that required applicants for a concealed carry permit to demonstrate that they had a special, specific need for self-defense.
This in turn will require other states with significant gun regulations — California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Hawaii — to change their laws. Other restrictions on guns will likely fall to lawsuits.
President Joe Biden then released a milquetoast statement: “I am deeply disappointed by the Supreme Court’s ruling … the Second Amendment is not absolute.” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said, “I’m sorry this dark day has come — that we’re supposed to go back to what was in place since 1788 when the Constitution of the United States America was ratified. And I would like to point out to the Supreme Court justices that the only weapons at that time were muskets.”
