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.

False bravado and fake dreams............Ain’t gonna happen
Well I’m sure everyone here knows SloJoe isn’t calling the shots. Whoever is, is wanting an all out civil war. That or flee to a freer country. If I go, can I take my guns and ammo with me?
What was the vote!? :-) Hey! This set of Supremes just might do it!! Crazier times, have not existed.
See post #50
LMAO!!
You are correct, best validated numbers are 380-420.
Why do people keep saying biden is doing this or that? We need to learn who his handlers are.
circumstances will be set in motion for an eventual reckoning in earnest.
Ain't gonna happen........How many times do I have to repeat myself?
Ummm... hey... I don’t see any tagline present from Babylon Bee.
They got competition now?
What it means is, are you willing to die defending your GOD GIVEN rights, or would you rather be murdered after giving up those rights?
If you do not choose the hill to die on, they will do it for you.
There really is no gray area anymore.
I’m reminded of one of Mel Gibson’s lines from “The Patriot”
“I’d rather have one King 3,000 miles away than 3,000 one mile away.”
That’s where we’re at.
But they will make us vote more than once, even after we're dead.
That is not the true intent of the 2A only a bi-product.
I was there once in Oz...
No "big game" there....except crocs.
Ranchers still shoot Dingos when they can....
Funny thing...Perth, Oz...is not going along with the lock downs. Way too far away from Melbourne and Sydney...for those Coppers/Pols to do anything about it...
This will not stand here in the USA.
If we didn’t have the absolute hope Trump is going to be back in the oval office... where would we be?
If not for one man... the rest would follow the leader to the pit and enslave us all. none of the republicans are strong enough to stand as Trump has had to.
Anything in there about getting jabbed so a person can keep his/her weapons.
Biden does NOT know what he is doing... someone is pulling his strings...and I’d bet it’s obama and rice. to name just 2.
