So Corruptofornia wants to use the First Amendment rights of a citizen to stop the Second Amendment rights of a citizen base on if they believe democrats are the scum of the earth?

Sounds like the scum of the earth part is proven by the first part.

What is needed is national reciprocity. A permit in Texas is good in every other state and visa versa. The 2A is in the Bill of Rights and clearly states “shall not be infringed” so the feds do have the right to make reciprocity national.

And when these rules are struck down, they have 100 more in the drawer. Applications accepted only the third Tuesday of a leap year.

..."that a public-carry license applicant provide proof of 'good moral character' remains constitutional,"...

I disagree, vehemently.

If you have to "provide proof" to exercise a right then you no longer have that right - it has been completely infringed upon.

Just who's morals will be used to judge "good" moral character?

What is the objective measure of "good" or good enough moral character?

Apply these same standards to the First Amendment and see how (equally) ridiculous they sound: I'm sorry, you can talk all you want at home, but you're not allowed to speak in public or on the internet unless and until what you are going to say has been pre-approved by the government.

nd in particular the AG's office suggests that people who hold certain ideological viewpoints should be disqualified.

The National Socialist German Workers Party approves.

Perhaps the California AG’s office can contact the Communist Chinese government for tips on instituting a social credit system.

Once leftists have power, they will do anything to not give it up.

That analysis is wrong. Assessment of something as subjective as moral character is precisely what the SC ruled against.
