Alito Takes a Blow Torch to Liberal Justices' Dissent(2nd amendment call pt2)

On Thursday morning the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down restrictive "may issue" concealed carry laws in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the majority opinion and explained how the Second Amendment is not a second-class right.

The arguments made by the dissenting justices were wildly irrelevant from the issue of constitutionality and current law, prompting Justice Samuel Alito to file a separate, concurring opinion destroying their claims. He also took issue with their ignorance and arrogance surrounding the facts of lawful gun ownership vs. criminality. (Take a look, bolding is mine)

OUCH! Guess the dissenters opinions pissed Alito off eh? Have the dissenters even read the constitution or BOR? Are they lacking comprehension skills? (rhetorical for libgressives)

Katie must be a Freeper because I basically posted a similar analysis and emphasis right after the ruling came out yesterday.

Barrett has more than 10 kids. Reportedly, one of the lefties grabbed one of them which pissed her off, and the US Marshalls were having a full plate protecting the family.

Can you cite this Supreme Court Case? I’d like to read the opinions.

Very depressing that the dissent was of such poor quality. I’m glad Alito called them on their BS.

I guess no one told the dissenters that the question squarely deals with law-abiding, sane, rational folks, not suicidal, criminal mentally ill people who generally and legally disregard the laws anyway.

Read again today how he, Alito, goes after the idiots who passed RvWade. Good day or two for the guy.

It’s not really understandable that the affected states are in such a tizzy about this.

You issue a carry permit to people who have a background check and take the classes to learn the laws and shoot correctly.

If you read Alito you will be even more mad at the recent gun legislation currently supported by 15 Republicans.

He mentioned Brandishing as self-defense, but the McCloskey’s know differently........

Also, SOME states specifically prohibit “Brandishing” by Statute......maybe now that will be challenged?

To me, just my thought, requiring a permit is infringement.
