Giffords Adviser: SCOTUS Makes it Easier for People to Be Mass Shooters
breitbart.com ^ | 12/15/2022 | AWR Hawkins

Giffords adviser Ryan Busse claims the Supreme Court of the United State’s Bruen (2022) decision is making it “much easier” for “a trouble 18-year-old to become a deadly mass shooter.”

The Bruen decision was handed down June 23, 2022, and Breitbart News reported it struck down New York’s proper cause requirement for concealed carry permit issuance.

Busse’s column, published in The Atlantic December 14, 2022, summarized a portion of Justice Clarence Thomas’s Bruen opinion:

Thomas made clear that, henceforth, the Court’s conservative majority would judge all firearms regulations by a new originalist standard: If there is no historical proof of a gun law linked to 1791 or 1868—the years when the Second and Fourteenth Amendments, respectively, were ratified—then any modern law restricting firearms is liable to be ruled unconstitutional.

Busse (pictured) then lamented that Bruen is being utilized by pro-Second Amendment groups around the country to file suits against current, longstanding gun controls. They listed court decisions against gun control in Texas, West Virginia, and New York, and expressed angst that Bruen has created a paradigm where the background check system–which was not put in place until 1998–will be struck down.

He described the Second Amendment supporters as “an unrepresentative, radical pro-gun minority of Americans whose vocal demands about their right to bear arms have found sympathetic ears on the Supreme Court.”

Busse warns, “The justices will be forced to decide whether we are to be a country that must allow armed citizens in every grocery store, church, or park. They will be forced to decide whether we must expand the right of open carry to every state in the nation including its largest metropolises, with all the potential for mayhem that portends.”

He did not mention that Texas became the 46th open carry state in the Union in 2021.

“an unrepresentative, radical pro-gun minority of Americans whose vocal demands". HUH? Yeah because that never ever happens when a vocal radical minority of whiners complain right assclown. Who is this UPOS advising? Kathy Lee Giffords? Frank Giffords? Anyone with half a gabby can see he's FOS. SCOTUS should only reaffirm the BOR. It is, not as branDUHn claims it isn't, absolute.

Hey Ryan. Why don’t you go play with yourself you whinyass little crybaby. Until you and your RAT scum started running this chicken coop, “mass shootings” by public school students shooting each other was unheard of.” aho.

The first amendment makes it easier to stir up Revolution. The 4th amendment makes it easier to hide criminal conduct. The jury system and rules of evidence makes it harder to convict criminals. Every right has a trade off. But the founders determined that these individual rights were more important than their consequences.

What would anyone expect from a rabidly anti-gun fanatic? Just exactly the drivel here. Democrats are hard core totalitarians - Totalitarians HATE individual rights. The right to free speech, the right to bear arms, and the right to private property are the three most hated rights and the democrats are going after all three: hate speech, gun control, and civil asset forfeiture , EPA regulations etc. are the tip of the iceberg

There are no natural limits on what government totalitarians like the criminal in the, white house, The Dems in Kongress, and the various government agencies like the DOJ, the EPA, the IRS, etc. want to restrict. The ideal state for those people is where everything not mandatory is illegal.

I was chatting with a person who offers themselves out as an expert on school security. Their company provides camera systems, special ballistic protections of all sorts, special locks, software, etc., etc. Why gosh, if your school district needs to put together a multi-million-dollar bond issue to fund it they can help.

I asked them this question: “If I have a 5 gallon of gas and a BIC lighter and I set a school bus on fire how does your company handle stopping that?”

The response was “we don’t talk about that”.

Hey, Biden should declare the US to be a gun free zone and everyone including law abiding citizens, gangbangers, criminals and illegal aliens will all turn in their weapons and we will all live happily ever after.

The NRA (National Rifle Association) murders 0 people and receives nothing in government funds every year.

While Planned Parenthood kills 350,000 babies every year and receives $500,000,000 in tax payer's dollars annually......

Oh - and an administration that left 300,000 guns for the Taliban is lecturing folks on gun control!

By passing gun control laws and making “gun-free zones”, the legislature makes it easier for those would-be mass shooters to be wildly successful, Gabby.

If she is complaining about “radical minorities” getting what they want, they ought to take a look at the tiny group that is convincing children that they can somehow change their sex.

It’s really that simple. :)
