The Supremes have struck down New York’s “Show Cause to Carry” law<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state law at the heart of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen<\/em><\/a> required anyone who wants to carry a concealed handgun outside the home to show \u201cproper cause\u201d for the license. New York courts interpreted that phrase to require applicants to show more than a general desire to protect themselves or their property. Instead, applicants must demonstrate a special need for self-defense \u2013 for example, a pattern of physical threats. Several other states, including California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, impose similar restrictions, as do many cities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Clarence Thomas, God bless him, wrote the majority opinion<\/a> (joined by the entire conservatie majority – Roberts, Coney Barrett, Kavanaugh, Alito and Gorsuch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not \u2018a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees,’\u201d Thomas wrote in the opinion. The exercise of other constitutional rights does not require individuals to demonstrate to government officers some special need. The Second Amendment right to carry arms in public for self-defense is no different. New York\u2019s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms in public.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I’m no lawyer, but this part – from the text of the ruling – appears to be important:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has become necessary to dissolve the Supreme Court of the United States.

The first step is for a state the "court" has now forced guns upon, to ignore this ruling.

Great. You're a court? Why and how do think you can enforce your rulings?#IgnoreTheCourt<\/a><\/p>— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) June 23, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
