THIS is everything you need to know about the current situation in Washington, and why so many people are disgusted with it.

As long as Roberts regrows a portion of his spine, any 2a challenge by law is going to have no traction in the SC for the next 7-10 years.

The law that they are hammering through has massive due process issues as well.

Keith Olbermann is a curious fellow.

He's spent most of his career as a sportcaster for ESPN and Fox Sports. He then spent some time doing political commentary at MSNBC (which, if we're honest, isn't that much different), then he went back to ESPN, and then he quit and is now trying to launch his own political commentary channel on YouTube.

He's apparently quite popular.

Anyway, here's his latest take:

All I know is we're gonna need them guns once the "mostly peaceful" protests start happening when Roe v. Wade gets tossed.

I mean, I know this is like explaining the punchline here, but I am so disappointed that so many functioning, tax paying adults could see a situation where police essentially sectioned off an elementary school for a private hunt while arresting parents and hanging out INSIDE the school - - but somehow guns are dangerous and this proves we need to limit magazine sizes and access to weapons?!

Tremendous ruling. I have to say that I am SHOCKED the SCOTUS would make a ruling with such clear and simple speech as

The reason out Country is lost is due to the heavy propaganda from media. Try to find an unbiased "article" about today's ruling and you will spend a long time searching. Statements like "putting citizens at risk" or "SCOTUS got this wrong". Shameful lies. I really hate it.

Took me no time at all: https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-new...-york-gun-law/

Quoting from the story above:

Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the majority that the Constitution protects “an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.”
In their decision, the justices struck down a New York law requiring people to demonstrate a particular need for carrying a gun in order to get a license to carry one in public. The justices said the requirement violates the Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.”
“We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need,” the decision said. “This is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion.”

Backers of New York’s law had argued that striking it down would ultimately lead to more guns on the streets and higher rates of violent crime. The decision comes at a time when gun violence already on the rise during the coronavirus pandemic has spiked anew.
In most of the country gun owners have little difficulty legally carrying their weapons in public. But that had been harder to do in New York and the handful of states with similar laws. New York’s law, which has been in place since 1913, says that to carry a concealed handgun in public, a person applying for a license has to show “proper cause,” a specific need to carry the weapon.

The Bill of Rights protect us against the government, 2A included. Watching Australians being put in Covid concentration camps just a year or two after giving up their guns should be a wake-up call for everyone. Or Justin Castreau's recent antics involving guns, or simply freezing your bank account if you said the wrong thing. Or honked.
