Now Biden's handlers are going for the kill-shot on our most treasured God-given right, protecting ourselves and our loved ones via the 2nd Amendment.

They are scum.

Never happen and I’m sure SCOTUS is probably laughing their asses off about the insanity of it. Even the liberal ones.

I reviewed the amicus brief, and it is quite a piece of work. For some reason, laws restricting the right to keep and bear arms--a fundamental right explicitly protected by the text of the Bill of Rights--are subject only to intermediate scrutiny. The same people argue that laws restricting abortion--an unenumerated "right" the Roe Court discovered among the "emanations and penumbras" of the Bill of Rights--are subject to strict scrutiny and presumptively unconstitutional.

In support of their argument, they deceptively quote Kavanaugh's dissent as a D.C. Circuit judge in Heller II that "After all, history and tradition show that a variety of gun regulations have co-existed with the Second Amendment right and are consistent with that right, as the Court said in Heller. By contrast, if courts applied strict scrutiny, then presumably very few gun regulations would be upheld."

However, the entire point of Kavanaugh's dissent was to reject the majority's application of intermediate scrutiny as inconsistent with Heller and McDonald. Kavanaugh didn't think either strict or intermediate scrutiny was the correct approach, but "[e]ven if it were appropriate to apply some kind of balancing test or level of scrutiny to D.C.'s ban on semi-automatic rifles, the proper test would be strict scrutiny[.]"

God-given right, protecting ourselves and our loved ones via the 2nd Amendment.

That is not the true intent of the 2A only a bi-product.

I've read that the term "well regulated" as used in 1791 meant well-running, as a well regulated mechanical device.

It has nothing to do with "regulation" as we use it nowadays, meaning rule.

"Regular", I would wager, is the root term.

The real question is why the 2nd Circuit didn't overturn this on the basis of the Heller decision, which was a "shall issue" order. In fact, Petitioner's questions on appeal makes exactly that point.

Specifically quoting:

New York prohibits its ordinary law-abiding citizens from carrying a handgun outside the home without a license, and it denies licenses to every citizen who fails to convince the state that he or she has “proper cause” to carry a firearm. In District of Columbia v. Heller, this Court held that the Second Amendment protects “the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation,” 554 U.S. 570, 592 (2008), and in McDonald v. City of Chicago, the Court held that this right “is fully applicable to the States,” 561 U.S. 742, 750 (2010). For more than a decade since then, numerous courts of appeals have squarely divided on this critical question: whether the Second Amendment allows the government to deprive ordinary law-abiding citizens of the right to possess and carry a handgun outside the home. This circuit split is open and acknowledged, and it is squarely presented by this petition, in which the Second Circuit affirmed the constitutionality of a New York regime that prohibits law-abiding individuals from carrying a handgun unless they first demonstrate some form of “proper cause” that distinguishes them from the body of “the people” protected by the Second Amendment. The time has come for this Court to resolve this critical constitutional impasse and reaffirm the citizens’ fundamental right to carry a handgun for self-defense.

The question presented is: Whether the Second Amendment allows the government to prohibit ordinary lawabiding citizens from carrying handguns outside the home for self- defense

In granting cert, the Supreme Court ordered "[CERT] GRANTED LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: WHETHER THE STATE'S DENIAL OF PETITIONERS' APPLICATIONS FOR CONCEALED-CARRY LICENSES FOR SELF-DEFENSE VIOLATED THE SECOND AMENDMENT.

In answer.. how about we ask the Supreme Court to judicially ban all abortions.

and add to that, ask the Supreme Court to close all our borders and round up all illegals and send them back.

If SCOTUS refused to stop the steal in January they'll punt on this one too. The logic will be something like “the plaintiffs lacked standing” (like with their inaction last January). IOW they'll rule against it without really ruling against it.

The Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution (specifically, it is the first ten amendments) and, like other parts of the Constitution, can only be changed by amendment or by a constitutional convention.

If the SCOTUS doesn't know and apply this funamental fact about our Constitution, any ruling contrary must be ignored by the people and the criminal justices removed by the people by any means necessary.

When SCOTUS overturns Bruen 6-3 in 2022 on the basis of Heller, there will be exactly three posts in that thread, and two of them will be mine.

This cannot be separated from the attempt to mandate the Chicom kill shots, violating the God-given personal property rights of individuals. The empty words of FRoctors who say they are not for govt mandates, yet support corporate mandates based on the same Chicom science, will not be forgotten. Traitors.
