Biden Administration Asks the U.S. Supreme Court to Judicially Nullify the Right to Bear Arms
nraila.org ^ | Sept. 27, 2021

Posted on 09/27/2021 2:13:25 PM PDT by PROCON

On September 21, the Biden Administration filed an amicus brief in the pending U.S. Supreme Court case of New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, supporting New York’s draconian and unconstitutional restrictions on the right to bear firearms in public for self-defense.

This NRA-supported challenge to New York’s “may-issue” licensing scheme for public handgun carry is the first Second Amendment challenge to a firearm law to reach the high court since 2010.

New York’s law presumptively denies the right to bear arms for self-defense unless a license applicant can demonstrate a special need for self-protection that distinguishes the person from the general population.

In practice, this means the rich and well-connected can get unrestricted carry licenses but ordinary people cannot, even if they actually face a greater risk of being violently victimized while going about their daily lives in public. The law effectively nullifies for most New Yorkers what the Supreme Court has already characterized as “the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.”

New York’s “may-issue” scheme in fact gives authorities so much discretion that it has fostered a culture of corruption, particularly within the Licensing Division of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). There have been repeated scandals involving the NYPD Licensing Division’s application process, with “facilitators” offering gifts and bribes to licensing personnel to approve or expedite their clients’ applications. In some cases, this has resulted in the issuance of carry licenses to applicants with otherwise disqualifying criminal histories and in criminal convictions for NYPD officers. In other locales, licenses are issued by elected sheriffs, with preference given to political donors and supporters.

“They are scum.”

They are traitors, tyrants, not our countrymen.

The headline misses the heart of the matter: Joe Biden has asked the Supreme Court to throw down The Constitution, which he SWORE on oath of Office to uphold.

This act is a flagrant violation of that oath.

But — penalty? What penalty? Who penalty?

There is no Justice here.

Does no one in the White House read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?

Disgusting to try this. It will hopefully be thrown out by the SCOTUS.

C’mon, man. You don’t get to have F-16s and nuclear bombs, so don’t even think about revolting./s

C’mon, man. Hunting and fishing with firearms is revolting, all right. Those poor fish don’t stand a chance./s

C’mon, man. Guerilla warfare is against the cruelty to animals laws. They’re cute. Why would you want to shoot one./s

C’mon, man. I just surrendered to Haiti. We are now under occupation. Learn French./s

Yup, a Molon Labia is a terrible thing to waste. Won't catch me doing that LOL.

Seriously though, when the structures we've grown so accustomed to all our lives start disintegrating (shortages, service disruptions, more oppressive law enforcement, neighbors missing) old people like us still able to creak around will either give up or get to it. I sincerely believe going down for the right thing beats lingering in a sick bed when a few more years decrepit is a sentence anyway.

On this I think we agree. I'm with you if the SHTF. Got nothing better to do.

I live in Chicago. The longest lines I saw during the pandemic where at Cabela’s at the gun counter. And the lines continue to this day. Democrats have guns too.

Pretty much spot on.

Many suffer from cognitive dissonance.

“Doesn’t matter what SCOTUS or the fake President says.”

Actually it doesn't matter what The Constitution says anymore, all they have to have is the cooperation of the military citizen law enforcement and you're neighbors and they can do by force whatever they want to do.

You on the other hand are free to resist as long as you can but I am pretty sure they will be much better prepared than you or I are.

It is a shame there isn’t a permanent thread for Constitutional Sheriffs because that is where this is heading. The last elected LEO at the county level that decides what is/isn’t constitutional by the clear reading of English language.

We are copulating the dog by ignoring this. It should be the #1 issue between now and the mid-terms— and for 2 states, it is an immediate issue.

Want to be governed harder daddy? Keep ignoring the vetting, selection, support for Constitutional Sheriffs.

So, the Supreme Court can nullify the Constitution?

They do it regularly but maybe you haven't noticed.

There is a NYC permit, and there is a NYS permit.

A permit issued in a county outside NYC, is not valid in NYC, though the NYC permit is valid everywhere in NYS.

Two sets of rules indeed.

This is so true. There are thousands of unconstitutional “laws” on the books.

Enforce it bitches.

COME ON!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

How can the defunded police enforce such thing?

Military not allowed to, posse comitatus, and most states will not allow their National Guard to do the federal bidding of disarming Americans.

Such a decision , if it came, would indeed not be enforceable.Everyone would become a criminal with a completely unregulated gun posession and use as a result.Shooting ranges would be run by our own “gangs.”

That would be the result of Biden’s “rule.” Disorder.

Whichi is what Biden wants.
