Supreme Court denies potential major guns rights case (no right to carry outside home)

The United States Supreme Court said on Monday morning it will not consider a case that would define rights related to concealed gun permits in New Jersey and potentially across the country.

The case of Drake v. Jerejian was heard in private conference by the nine Justices recently. Orders were issued today and the Drake case was listed among those cases denied by the Court.

A petition was filed with the Court in January 2014. The petitioners, led by attorney Alan Gura, wanted answers to two questions: whether the Second Amendment secures a right to carry handguns outside of the home for self-defense and if New Jersey officials violated that right by requiring people to prove a “justifiable need” for carrying a handgun for self-defense outside their homes.

problem is that those from those northern states who vote the liberals in then move south and bring their ignorant dumb voting ways with them.

The erosion of this right took place in New Jersey a long time ago. This isn’t a change, this is the SCOTUS deciding not to overturn what NJ has been doing for a very long time.

However, we are talking about NJ, in this case. And, NJ is living with the government they elected.

All this I know. But, how sickening is it that we continue to place our hopes in the capriciousness of an increasingly deluded electorate or the arbitrary whims of robed megalomaniacs.

As we loose ground in one place, the precedent is established and the dominoes begin to fall.

“upon reaching the age of 18 years from conception through age 67 years from conception”

From conception? Not birth?

I’ll have to read more about this vote.

We are reenforcing the Constitutional right of rights from conception by counting age as from conception not birth.

There will be no abortions in the Republic of Maine, nor will there be a lot of things that are flat out wrong that the US embraces and even protects.
