The Next Big Hurdle For Gun Controllers

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 7/23/2022 1:19:41 AM

Gun control lawmakers and activists now face a big problem as they pass dozens of new laws to substantially limit the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens – this new legislation will almost certainly be deemed unconstitutional. That’s not my opinion. The Supreme Court made it clear in its recent pro–Second Amendment decision. In language that has drawn shockingly little attention, that ruling shows why many proposed gun restrictions infringe on the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Before you can even begin a conversation about whether the proposed laws will have any meaningful effect on mass shootings (they won’t), you need to ask whether the gun restrictions are constitutional.

The gun control fanatics would shred the Constitution if they had a chance.

Gun rights are the only ones that have not been whittled down so as to mean nothing in recent decades. They have actually expanded a little. I'm sure that gives the communist/corruptocrat political class fits. They cant drop the final axe on us when we have an axe too.

Gun controllers could care less about the constitution. Gang-related shootings, mentally-disturbed shooters, criminal-related shootings, all in one way or another related to criminality or mental dysfunction, are simply unimportant to the gun controllers. INSTEAD they concentrate on law-abiding gun owners. What do they FEAR about law-abiding gun owners? Could it be that allowing the law-abiding to own guns risks armed protest when Progressives decide that it’s time to seriously and intentionally remove the freedoms American citizens enjoy by virtue of the BLOOD spilled that EARNED those freedoms? There will be serious risk to those who would deprive Americans of their RIGHTS … risk that the tyrants find wholly unacceptable.

The court''s 1778 decision refers to "marauding parties" in southeast New Jersey as creating dangers (and threats of dangers) that warranted individuals carrying firearms for personal - and group - self defense. The court's descriptions are far too reminisecent of currently existing dangers (and threats of dangers) from individuals - and gangs - in many parts of the United States, especially Portland, Chicago, and New York City.

The best way to show your rejection of fed control of firearms is to go out and buy another "assault weapon" and a large box of ammo to add to your cache. It will made their unconstitutional actions that much harder to implement and enforce. When the time comes they will be overwhelmed with numbers. Any law against gun violence should be directed against crazies who are potential human rights abusers and the building of new asylums.

The problem here is that the current “leadership” in DC has basically declared the Supreme Court null and void....these people will do whatever they want to whomever they want, whenever they want. 250 years of America have been flushed down the crapper in 18 months.

Federal Bills delving into Constitutional areas should be required to pass Supreme Court scrutiny BEFORE getting voted on and becoming law. Whenever Demonrats gain control of both Houses of the Legislature they pass anti-Second Amendment laws which then have to go through the "50-State Roundup" generating numerous lawsuits inching their way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. In my cynical mind I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't a "make-work mafia" at work in our Legislative Branch for the Lawyer Guild of America. Also, where the hell is the NRA these days? We used to have ever present Wayne LaPierre out in the public fighting back on gun bills, but these days nary a peep from whoever's in charge.

SCOTUS needs to get rid of these laws, make it ILLEGAL to make more, and heavily penalize (20 years in PRISON) anyone making these laws for violating the mandate!

The new law that NY state just passed will be struck down at the first review, no doubt. And they will get all hysterical again. Illinois was at least smart enough to recognize that they had LOST in court and would have to provide a reasonable, objective standards concealed carry permit system. And they did. Still a lot of restrictions in Illinois, but far better than it was. NY has yet to realize that they WILL be required to comply with the 2nd Amendment, and that "Joe and Sally average citizens" WILL be able to get a permit and carry in most public venues. NY is still on a boat trip on DeNile.

An official from the World Health Organization (WHO) admitted on Saturday that everyone who received the Monkeypox vaccine is considered to be part of a “clinical study” for the purpose of data collecting so that researchers can learn more about the “effectiveness of the vaccine.” On Saturday, WHO conducted a media briefing with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and experts to discuss the Monkeypox outbreak. Tim Nguyen, the Unit Head of Global Infectious Hazards Preparedness at the World Health Organization Emergency Programme, said that the vaccine efficacy is yet unknown since it has never been used on this scale before.

Yes, you read correctly. There are (so far) 33 friends and relatives dead or sick since our wedding eight months ago. I’ve done the research. All 33 were vaxxed. Every one of them. This is a “vaccine death and disease cluster.” This is like the “Love Canal” cancer cluster of the 1970s. It can’t be ignored when you see so many people dead, or very ill in just one group. But it has nothing to do with our wedding. Open your eyes. This is happening everywhere. Non-Covid deaths are up dramatically in the United States (and all over the world).

Ron DeSantis kicked it off on Friday with a great speech, including a classic line, “I want to wish Joe Biden a speedy recovery from COVID.

It's fitting the United Nations was the setting for this spectacle.

Fifty-three years ago this week, America launched Apollo 11, a mission that reached a pinnacle of scientific and national achievement with the successful landing of the Lunar Module Eagle on the Moon. The Apollo 11 Moon landing represented not only a crowning triumph for humanity, but it was one of America’s most noble and awesome moments. It was an accomplishment so monumental that to try and describe it in words almost undersells its importance. It truly was – and still remains – one of the most awe-inspiring milestones in human history. Think about all of this for a moment.

Rep.Jerry Nadler, perhaps best known for appearing to defecate himself in public back in 2020, led a hearing on guns in the House on Wednesday. As RedState reported, David Hogg, who was present during the Parkland, FL, shooting, interrupted the proceedings, being escorted out of the room. But it was what was actually said by the congressional members that interested me the most, and you’ll be less than shocked to learn that abject ignorance was on display. Nadler gave a lesson on the famous M1 Garand that should disqualify him from ever voting on any bill having anything to do with guns ever again. [Video]

When is a recession not a recession? When Presidentish Joe Biden says it ain’t, Jack. Axios reported that White House economic advisors on Thursday moved the goalposts on what a recession is. The traditional definition of a recession is two or more quarters of economic shrinkage, but the Biden administration argues that “by most measures,” according to Axios, “the world’s largest economy remains comfortably in expansion mode.” That’s why the White House “is seeking to preempt heightened recession chatter that would accompany two quarters of shrinking GDP.” By changing the accepted definition. Citing a “holistic look at the data,” the White House Council of Economic Advisors claims

Any reasonable person would think that Old Joe Biden’s COVID diagnosis, coming after he was vaccinated, twice boosted, and (almost) always masked, was evidence that the Left’s entire COVID narrative was false. But the concept of disconfirming evidence doesn’t even exist on the Left; no matter what happens, the narrative must be preserved. CNN medical analyst Leana Wen took to the pages of the Washington Post Thursday to shore up several of the Left’s sagging narratives, pretending for the length of an entire column both that Biden has been a successful president and that his COVID agenda has been a resounding success.

According to the Fox News models, that advantage would translate to a GOP win, with a gain of 23 seats. Now, other polls are coming in even higher than that. First, we have the Trafalgar Group poll on the generic Congressional ballot. That has the Republicans up by more than eight points among likely voters, Republicans 48.3 percent to Democrats 40.2.
