Okay, ignored may not be totally correct but the laws and regulations still affectively prohibit residents and definitely visitors from bearing arms, openly or concealed.

[MarvinStinson]

Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear arms.

[Bshaw]

“But what about the garbage pending in Congress? Seems like it needs to be sent back for a major rewrite.”

Rendered null in the face of judicial precedent. Love it!

"New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, reacted with fury to the court ruling, saying that it flew in the face of efforts to restrict gun rights..."

Well... yeah. That's exactly what it does.

[alancarp]

"'In response to this ruling, we are closely reviewing our options – including calling a special session of the legislature,'"

To do what? Enact another restrictive law just so that it can be swiped away?

"Okay, ignored may not be totally correct but the laws and regulations still affectively prohibit residents and definitely visitors from bearing arms, openly or concealed."

The ruling just came down today. You can't really expect DC to go back in time to change their laws.

“..... Second Amendment’s plain text.....”

[fretzer]

Sure she does. She is simply a communist being disingenuous.

The Founders were brilliand and succinct writers. The entire original US Consitution was written on 4 pages of parchment. Witness Obamacare’s 10,000 pages of text.

Only modern lawyers hate plain text because it requires us to use them as interpreters.

[SkyDancer]

And street gangs/members laugh.

[lurk]

It’s a step in the right direction. But blue cities and states have ways of slow walking purchase and carry.

[wbarmy]

And just where the heck are New Yorkers going to do the middle “S” of SSS? New Jersey?

[dartuser]

Today the Supreme Court leveled the playing field between a potential victim and a would-be perpetrator.

[Sicon]

"When you have places like Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, and Switzerland among the least violent places on earth, she and her remarks are so breathtakingly brainless."

Hmmm, there's something similar about all of those places. I wonder what it could be...

Maine: 94.4% white
New Hampshire: 91.2% white
Vermont: 93.6% white
Switzerland: 95.2% white

The presence or absence of guns isn't the issue, but of course, we're not supposed to notice.

[WKTimpco]

Maybe SCOTUS issued Bruen before Dobbs as a warning re: the psychotic Left taking matters into their own hands.

[FLT-bird]

Given the complete lack of law and order since they don’t seem to imprison criminals any more, this is EXACTLY what the rotten apple needed.

[Michigan Bowhunter]

Their “colleagues” stand mute and will say nothing.

[Dead Corpse]

That goes for any kind of self defense action.

I was hoping for this Decision from the SCOTUS. As heartening and reaffirming as it is... This fight isn’t over yet.

This was a major battle won, but the war rages on.

[zeugma]

NYS will dream up a whole new string of processes to bollocks up your inalienable right to protect yourself, your family, and your property.

You're not wrong. Any DC residents here that can tell us what the process is for getting a handgun in the District of Criminals, now that they've been slapped down 3 times?

[Libloather]

...the 108-year-old New York law restricting licenses...

What took so long?
