The Third Circuit simply relegates the Second Amendment to Second Class status.

SCOTUS relegated ALL so-called rights in the Constitution to privileges several times - sorry I can’t cite the case law. Only Treaty Tribes have, according to SCOTUS, Rights enshrined in the Constitution. Privileges which, as you see, cen be revoked at any given time.

SCOTUS will start hearing Second Amendment cases after PDJT fills a sudden vacancy if you get my drift.

Judges who believe this should be thrown out and put into the NICS so they never have to have their poor widdle feewings damaged by the presence of evil guns.

The SCOTUS needs to address the meaning of “...shall not be infringed”. Those words are pretty straight forward.

"second-rate right, not entitled to the full protections of other enumerated rights."
I do not recall at any time of my education the use of the term "second-rate right" used. I don't know what that is. And I do not recall judges being given the authority to ascribe which rights among the Bill of Rights are worthy of full protection under the law, and which are not. This is horse-pucky. The judges should sentence themselves to hang.

“The two majority judges followed the trend of other Circuits where the Second Amendment is being degraded and reduced to second-rate status.”
There has to be a day of reckoning...there just has to be.

And, yet, “made up” rights like abortion and men peeing in girl’s bathrooms can/will NOT be regulated or limited in ANY way...
And you better bake the damn cake.

We need take the power from these judges to interpret the meaning of the constitution to which ever way their little biased minds want.... and their party’s politics.

Certain rights are unalienable - as recognized and enshrined in Declaration of Independence. It is very legitimately argued that the second amendment to the Constitution is necessary to protect these unalienable rights from those who would take them from us - including government. It follows, that to exercise the 'Right of the People' to alter and abolish governments that become tyrannical and/or oppressive, they need to have access to arms to protect their rights - from government if necessary (as it has become in so many instances in world history).
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

I wonder if the other amendments, beyond the Bill of Rights, to the Constitution can be designated as first rate, second rate, or even third rate. For example, the 22d Amendment. What if Obama decided that he wanted to run for President again and what if his friendly judges decided that the 22d Amendment was a third rate Amendment, only applying to Republican candidates. Then, Obama could become President for Life and he could proclaim that the entire Constitution was a third rate document, only in effect for those matters chosen by the President for Life.

Progressives do not believe those statements.

The USSR had freedom of religion in its constitution. That writing was useless since judges didn’t enforce it. The same will happen here.

A “second-rate” right.
Looks like we have some fifth-rate judges in the Third Circuit.
