This might encourage some States to go with Constitutional Carry.

Possible push States that have considered it before at least.

The slippery slope of gay marriage - that ‘moderate Republicans promised was a fallacy - turns out to be slipperier than initially feared.

a right granted by the Federal Constitution.

Did they really say this? Because the 'Federal Constitution' does not 'grant' anything.

If the SCOTUS does not protect the olbillorights then, we have to do it with our guns or die trying.

Hell yeah, the tyrants want our guns!
It becomes us or them.
That is war.

I noticed the “grant” issue as well, but in reading the article I believe that the author used “grant” in the context of the SC was “in agreement with”.
Could be wrong but the author also refers to “...this fundamental right guaranteed by the constitution...”

>>Easy. He’ll call it a “tax.”<<

I just read the article (I going weird sometimes). The ruling specifically is based on taxes.

It is just unexpected SCOTUS should rule pro-freedom with that turncoat commie Roberts at the helm.

>>The Federal Constitution DOES NOT GRANT RIGHTS, IT GUARANTEES THE RIGHTS GIVEN TO MAN BY GOD.<<

It instantiates a specific set of rights and uses God as the framework.

There is no legal construct of “natural rights.” That is up there with “driving” vs. “travelling.”

This was a premise of US v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939) too.

The lower court struck down the entire 1934 National Firearms act as unconstitutional.

Generally, the federal government. courts included, is hostile to the right to keep and bear arms. It is treated as a privilege to be regulated and denied with slim justification.
