I’m guessing that our Supreme Court will decide in favor of our Second Amendment rights on this issue in favor of all economic and social classes and irregardless of negative comments by a few vociferous Internet subscribers. Either way, we’ll soon find out.
“Massive blackmail”
You have any facts on that?
I don’t know why anyone in NY would need to carry a gun around. The police will protect you. /sarc
Hi... As a FReeper for some time, I hate the thought of the Supreme Court and the Second Amendment in the same sentence.
Roberts must be replaced. What was the reasoning? “Health Care is a tax?”, ushering in Obamacare.
Abortion is a made-up “right.”
The Second Amendment is right there, protecting the First.
LOL!
It’s all about the nuances, Baby!
You guys are absolutely right.
The petitions for writs of certiorari are granted.
20-843 NEW YORK STATE RIFLE, ET AL. V. CORLETT, KEITH M., ET AL.
The petition for a writ of certiorari is 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.
My best guess is Roberts twisted arms to limit the case to this very narrow question.
By requiring New York to go "shall issue" the court can be seen as implying permits are Constitutional. Roberts may vote with the majority to be able to write the opinion. The court could avoid any statement on open carry this way.
It would still be a large win. All eight states that are still "may issue" would have to become "shall issue". Roberts and the three other leftist justices may be hoping for reinforcements with court packing.
I wouldn't be surprised if you're right. The politicization of the USSC by the left and the threats to pack the court are likely weighing on the minds of several "Conservative" justices like oh, say ... Roberts for example who's too worried about what the public thinks vs. what the Constitution actually says.
The fact that CW-2 hasn't happened already tells me it never will.
With apologies, I've lost all hope for this country. If the theft of the Presidency and Congress didn't trigger CW-2, nothing will.
Virtually every court in America has held for more than 200 years that the CONCEALED carry of firearms is something that states can outlaw (Vermont being the exception). Of course these decisions were handed down in the 1800s and early 1900s when open carry was far more common and legal in every state. By taking this case the SCOTUS is contemplating overturning 200 years of precedent. This is good news, and strongly suggests that the SCOTUS will recognize the carrying of firearms in some manner must be allowed by states.
Also, keep in mind that Roberts kicked a NY gun case last year b/c of standing issues when NY changed the law. This may be the “payback” case b/c, whether we like it or not, Roberts, et. al. made the CORRECT decision in kicking the other NY case as courts are not supposed to rule on cases that are moot.
It will be interesting to see if they try that tactic.
New York State is one of only five states that ban open carry altogether.
I agree with you. We lose.
