Interesting from the ruling-—compares the right to bear arms to McDonald and Heller.

(1) It is undisputed that petitioners Koch and Nash—two ordinary, law-abiding, adult citizens—are part of “the people” whom the
Second Amendment protects. See Heller, 554 U. S., at 580. And no
party disputes that handguns are weapons “in common use” today for
self-defense. See id., at 627. The Court has little difficulty concluding
also that the plain text of the Second Amendment protects Koch’s and
Nash’s proposed course of conduct—carrying handguns publicly for
self-defense. Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a
home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear
arms, and the definition of “bear” naturally encompasses public carry.
Moreover, the Second Amendment guarantees an “individual right to
possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation,” id., at 592, and
confrontation can surely take place outside the home. Pp. 23–27

The total number of Trump Article III judgeship nominees to be confirmed by the United States Senate was 234, including three associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, 54 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 174 judges for the United States district courts, and three judges for the United States Court of International Trade...wikipedia

And many thanks to President Trump...

Pretty sure this is what will happen with red flag laws too. They open the door for massive abuse by a tyrannical government like we currently have.

“New York's Legislature considered the empirical evidence about gun violence and adopted a reasonable licensing law to regulate the concealed carriage of handguns in
order to keep the people of New York safe.”

The law has not kept the people of New York safe; it is more dangerous than some third-world countries.

The law's failure should be enough to convince a liberal judge to throw the thing out without considering the constitutional merits of the argument (they never want to consider constitutional arguments anyway).

Long ago, I heard of a blue city (I forget which) where open carry became legal, due to some court decision. So the police would arrest people who openly carried guns, not for violating gun laws, but for "disturbing the peace." (Because some people were traumatized by seeing other people carrying guns.)

I wonder what sort of workarounds the Left will come up with to bypass this ruling. You just know they have dozens of sleazy legal tricks up their sleeves.

This should also flow over to the west coast? Or are they already considered a foreign country?

Fantastic. I do find it interesting that every MSM report references recent “mass shootings” but fails to note that the permit requirements would not have prevented any of these crimes. Psychopathic criminals generally do not use handguns and don’t care about permits

What do we call this one in ShortSpeak, so that we can recite “Heller, MacDonald, and _______”?

Bruen?

What strikes me the most from the media and the Democrat responses is once again their inability to read and comprehend and then state the facts.

Instead we get hyperbole, lies, scare tactics i.e. this has unleased a wild west atmosphere and each dispute will be another shootout at the O.K. Corral.

We need to start with honestly, until we have that this country is going to continue to be a mess. And the dishonestly is most pronounced from the media/Dems.
