WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court has rejected challenges to assault weapons bans in Connecticut and New York, in the aftermath of the shooting attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that left 50 people dead.

The justices on Monday left in place a lower court ruling that upheld laws that were passed in response to another mass shooting involving a semi-automatic weapon, the elementary school attack in Newtown, Connecticut.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly turned away challenges to gun restrictions since two landmark decisions that spelled out the right to a handgun to defend one's own home.

Said by unelected judges protected by men with real assault rifles...
Decided not to hear the lower court ruling. Maybe that’s a good thing. Will it come back if hildabama is the one to appoint new supremes? Good thing the gopE is starting to coalesce finally to defeat her. Oh.................
Anyone know what the vote was?
That’s good. It only effects two states. Let the people of Ct and NY fight this cr**.
No vote...they didn’t hear it.
Or so I have been told for 40 years, every time I try to warn someone that it is coming soon, even freepers.
Yeah, the scotus could have taken it and made it applicable in all 57 states. :) So, what has been the response by those that fall under these infringements? I heard less than 4% compliance.
Haven’t seen yet what the vote was.
Guess we wait until Trump gets to nominate some replacements to the bench. Glad I live in Nevada where my exercise of the 2nd amendment is less infringed.
“This underscores the importance of the next selection for the SCOTUS, perhaps the next TWO selections with recent reports about Clarence Thomas wanting to retire, do we want Hiliarly Rotten Criminal choosing those judges, or Donald Trump?”
And maybe even another if you include the possibility of Ginsburg being replaced.
When a person is admitted to a hospital for any procedure, a follow-up home visit will take place from a hospital services person (paid for by the federal government) who's role is to identify the habits of those in the "home recovery environment". This means guns, smoke detectors, illicit drug use, child endangerment, proper medicine storage in the home, blocked exits, lighting, sanitation, etc.....
They will have quotas.
The funny things is, the registration programs put into place failed miserably. In CT, something like 68% of the police even refused to register their firearms.
Hey it’s a good thing the Swamp Lawyers are concerned about the law and not current events eh?
When the courts refuse to protect our rights or honor our American constitution, it’s time to -—
Alito...
Really the best result we could have hoped for, given the Court’s current makeup. I think the originalists didn’t want to take up the case because of the chance of losing. The four radicals, OTOH, probably had the same fear, so also didn’t vote to hear the case.
