In today's California, even adult movie theaters enjoy greater legal protections than gun stores.

So the federal government is entitled to force states to recognize homo “marriage” because of some fabricated right under the 14th Amendment, but has no power to force those same states to recognize the explicit right clearly stated in the 2nd Amendment?

Well, that’s because the Bill of Rights protects “freedom of expression”. Oh wait, that’s not in there. It’s a logical extension of “freedom of speech”. But the ability to buy firearms is not a logical extension of “keep and bear arms”. Got it.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
Associate Justice since August 10, 1993
Age 85

Anthony Kennedy,
Associate Justice since February 18, 1988
Age 81

Stephen Breyer,
Associate Justice since August 3, 1994
Age 79

Clarence Thomas,
Associate Justice
since October 23, 1991
Age 69

Samuel Alito,
Associate Justice since January 31, 2006
Age 68


Perhaps it’s better to postpone that ruling until we have a few more Trump Justices on the Court. We already have one, and I would love to see five more (rejuvenate the seats held by Thomas and Alito with younger conservatives who will be there for a generation or more; replace Kennedy with a consistent vote for the Constitution; and replace RBG and Breyer with Americans who believe in the rule of law).

Every now and then, I imagine several decades with a Court dominated by six or more Justices who believe in the rule of law with written laws and a written Constitution that means what it says. Wouldn’t that be glorious?

Then the same is true of planned parenthood and abortion centers.

Does Alameda county and the city of Oakland think that by illegally banning gun stores that their gun crime rate will decrease?

These people are idiots.

This may not be so foolish of the USSC. This is the way the left wins wars all the time: picking the right battles.

It is a certainty that the Supreme Court will have the opportunity to define the second amendment more clearly. But Anthony Kennedy is unpredictable, and just loves a good outrage-provoking liberal ruling now and then. Roberts is somewhat more conservative, but clings to the notion of “stare decisis, (/stairee diss-eyesiss/)” which means only liberals get to revisit previously establish precedent.

The Republicans are near certain to retain the Senate. And I’m actually fairly confident the presidency in 2020. It’s safer to revisit once Kennedy, and maybe even Ginsburg and Breyer are gone.

I still believe this nation will not survive another 5 years, especially if Democrats take back congress in 2018 and we get a Democrat POTUS in 2020.

Problem is the voting pool has been contaminated with millennials, foreign nationals and people on the dole that pay no taxes. None of these people have any clue what America is all about and have no clue what it means to be an American. And thats how we get leaders like Baraq 0bama, Kamala Harris, Keith Elleson, etc.

At no time do they even pretend to try to take guns from violent career criminals.
The goal is to take guns from non-violent, innocent citizens.

Does anyone know the case name or number for this? Last time the court refused to hear a case, Thomas signed a separate decision blasting the court for being cowards. Would be interested in seeing if he did something similar in this case.

Because liberals screw up every state they live in so bad that they themselves can’t live there any more and move on to other states to destroy them as well with their asinine view on life then I think Red States should impose requirements on liberal voters and liberals that move into Red States that they must be required to purchase guns, specifically the so called “assault” weapons and all magazines must be capable of 20 rounds or more.

See if they like being forced to buy guns and see if that will start the conversation on how asinine their ideas are being imposed on normal people.

The Supreme Court is no longer in compliance with the plain reading of the Constitution. Do we even have a Constitutional republic at all?
