CNN sounded the alarm Sunday, warning that the pro-Second Amendment makeup of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) portends an end to gun control “nationwide.”
CNN’s Tierney Sneed pointed to the June 23, 2022, SCOTUS decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen, noting that it not only struck down New York’s proper cause requirement but also set forward stringent rules for how lower courts must decide cases related to the Second Amendment.
On July 1 Breitbart News noted that SCOTUS remanded a number of cases, vacating the decisions and ordering them to be reconsidered in light of Bruen. The cases centered on an “assault weapons” ban in Maryland, a “high capacity” magazine ban in California, and carry restrictions in Hawaii, among other things.
Roughly two weeks later Breitbart News pointed to a Washington Times article suggesting the Bruen decision puts all types of gun control in the crosshairs of gun rights groups.
The Washington Times paraphrased Justice Clarence Thomas’s emphasis on the important of decisions like Bruen, McDonald v. Chicago (2010), and District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), saying, “The test courts must apply is whether a firearms restriction would have seemed reasonable to the founding generation that crafted and ratified the Second Amendment. If not, the law must give way to the Constitution.”
In light of this framework for testing restrictions, CNN warns that gun control in every state is in jeopardy:
Since the June ruling, federal judges in at least a half-dozen different cases have already cited the Bruen decision to rule against gun restrictions that have included local assault weapons bans, prohibitions on the manufacture of homemade firearms and bans on older teenagers publicly carrying handguns.
Several other laws now face new legal challenges under the precedent, among them zoning restrictions barring shooting ranges, licensing and training

CNN trying to gin up votes for Dems from those afraid of those mean, evil guns. Hoplophobes.
must be the same SCOTUS leaker from Roe earlier this year (Roberts)
Is the Supreme Court going rogue from its masters? 😆
Ping.
Depends.
All of it.
Seems kind of confusing doesn’t it? /s
They’ve taken that “shall not be infringed” beyond it’s
long term sustainability... I hope.
I mean they have abused that term, and violated that term,
and outright denied it’s actual meaning to do what they
have wanted.
Time to smash all the violations to pieces.
The truth is always the opposite of what they say.
Gun confiscation, coming soon to a woke hellhole near you.
Considering that the pinkos are moving on from “common sense” gun control to “common sense” speech control (and in a startingly short period of time) SCOTUS may simply recognize that the harsh heel of unbridled tyranny needs to be taken away from the necks of the American people. And soon.
Next, CNN will be complaining that the SCOTUS might rule that, the 1st Amendment must be upheld all over the land.
IOWs the SCOTUS might apply the 2nd Amendment as written. The HORROR!
Massachusetts was on the losing end of a 2nd Amendment SCOTUS case in '16...and was specifically mentioned negatively in the Bruen decision and now this ruling from a few days ago.
“portends an end to gun control “nationwide.” Please define that is and what it means. Similar to “paying their fair share;” it is never defined and never will be. What fools the electorate has become, parading around with their nose rings dragged by the leftist, Marxist media. Shame on them.
What a horrible time! Most of our media are party to massive treason.
I’ve said that the second amendment “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”
“the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” I meant that if you wanted a bazooka and could afford one then you can own one. Tank, Fighter Jest what ever...
Aha, there you are! I was wondering how you are doing.
Good to see you.
