Supreme Court strikes New York gun law in major ruling

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a restrictive New York gun law in a major ruling for gun rights. 

The justices’ 6-3 decision is expected to ultimately allow more people to legally carry guns on the streets of the nation’s largest cities — including New York, Los Angeles and Boston — and elsewhere. About a quarter of the U.S. population lives in states expected to be affected by the ruling, the high court’s first major gun decision in more than a decade.

  1. Let the caterwauling commence.

    NEW YORK STATE RIFLE & PISTOL ASSOCIATION,
    INC., ET AL. v. BRUEN, SUPERINTENDENT OF NEW
    YORK STATE POLICE, ET AL.
    6-3 (Breyer, Sotomeyor, Kagen dissenting)
    "Held: New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense."

    2. The caterwauling has already commenced-
      "Reacting to the decision, (unelected) New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul called it 'shocking'."

  3. Names and addresses of all concealed carriers across the country will be "accidentally" leaked and they/we will all get red flagged.

  4. As others have said, queue the predictions of bloodshed, shootings over minor incidents, etc., never stopping to think that the very people who are more likely to behave like this are already carrying anyway.

  5. In his dissent, Breyer, instead of actually following the Constitution, follows his liberal feelings and then puts this whopper into the SCOTUS record: “Since the start of this year alone (2022), there have already been 277 reported mass shootings—an average of more than one per day,“

    !. Your (or anyone else's) feelings do not affect my inalienable, Constitutionally protected, right to self defense.
    2. When attempting to make a case for anything, don't use utterly false statements to do it. Those of us with brains get to the first lie, stop reading and discount the whole thing.
    3. If the left wanted to reduce "gun violence" how about, oh I'm just riffing here, PROSECUTE GUN VIOLENCE!

  6. Count on the legisweasels in the granola states to throw test after test at this ruling for decades.

    1. As I said when Heller v DC came down, now we start forty years of arguing over the exact definition of "infringed."

  7. Communists are just upset that the average law abiding citizen is less likely to be intimidated when they unleash their "Red Terror" on cities like they did in 2020, L.A. in 1992 and countless other times in the past.

  8. Biden said "...the United States Supreme Court has chosen to strike down New York’s long-established authority to protect its citizens...".
    I say if police departments, prosecutors, and courts were doing their job effectively, then people wouldn't feel the need to carry.

    And as far as Hochul's statement about muskets, these were the most advanced military personal weapons at the time the Constitution was written. If it was true that the Second Amendment was written to include the most advanced military personal weapons of the time, the same should hold true today.

    You watch, the statists aren't about to let the Supreme Court stand in their way of gun control.
    They'll figure out some other way...

  9. Guns aren't the problem, it's the criminals.
    Enact a minimum 10 year federal sentence on top of whatever crime they committed using a gun.
    Quit picking on American's rights to have a check against out of control government.
    What a piss-poor administration we have now.
    Time to end codifying criminals.
    I recommend choping off the whole arm if they shoot during a criminal offense, and if they do it again, they are eating with their toes.

    1. Nah, we aren't Middle Easterners. Our ancestors in England took care of the problem at one time. In 1800 there were over 200 hanging offenses. You hang the criminals and soon you run out of criminals

    2. You left out politicians, as in “it’s the criminals and politicians.”

    3. I used to be pro capital punishment, back when I trusted the government to do the right thing. Do you think Pelosi and company would hesitate to execute the J6 political prisoners if she thought she could get away with it.

      When evaluating a government power, I always ask myself "would I be comfortable with Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden exercising that power?" If the answer is no, I don't want the government having that power.

  10. Shortly afterward, the mayor of NYC said, "Nuh-uh! Not in the 'presence' or the future." Ass clown.

  11. And just who is going to make states like New York obey the ruling? They'll simple ignore it.
