"We have never assumed that individuals have an unfettered right to carry weapons in public spaces," the majority ruled. "Indeed, we can find no general right to carry arms into the public square for self defense." This guy... I guess a lawyer, ... What a dufus. The constitution of the United States clearly states what the Federal government CAN do. Regulating the cart of firearms in public is therefor a States issue. Who would want to drink with this see you next Tuesday creep.

...the Supreme Court has shown itself to be extraordinarily cowardly in ducking ruling on big-ticket items
reads funny...maybe "in" should be "by".
Interesting that back in the day, open carry ultimately became restricted by local or state ordinances...
An example...in 1871, the Texas legislature banned carrying handguns outside the home until 1995..did the Feds intervene ?
Today...it seems McDonald should have taken care of this issue in the first place.

The lawless supreme court does not care about the constitution.
They will not rule against the ninth on this issue.

Who would want to drink with this see you next Tuesday creep. There is no federal regulation of firearms at issue in this case. This case is about whether a Hawaii state law violates the federal Constitution.

Thank you for the clarification.

That’s fine. The circuit split with the 7th tees this up pretty well for SCOTUS. This is probably the easiest gun control case for SCOTUS to take: the 9th Circuit’s reasoning runs headlong into Heller’s repeated, explicit holding that the 2nd Amendment’s “bear” language protects the individual right to “carry” a handgun for self-defense. Plus, Heller twice cites and discusses, approvingly, a Georgia case explicitly holding a right to open carry.

You say that it is obvious we have the right to defend ourselves, but that is not as obvious as you and I think it is. Laws and judicial decisions indicating a requirement to retreat when someone’s trying to kill you would say that it is not so obvious we have a right to defend ourselves.

I get all that, but it is incorrect. You cannot be ascribed a duty to retreat. You can be, perhaps, in order to have a society, tasked with making only a reasonable, proportionate response, but that’s it.

[[Next, the 9th Circus Court will rule that there is no right to have bullets in a firearm.]]
They will argue that nowhere in the constittution does it say we have the right to own ammo

9th is by far the most overturned court of appeals.
Worthless bunch of libertards
