After the Supremes finally decided that the Constitution (and its Second Amendment) is, after all, the supreme law of the land, the Scumbag States are scurrying around, trying to find loopholes.
New York and a half a dozen other states with similar laws now must decide their next steps. As with New York, California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island all have legislatures controlled by Democrats who could propose measures to ensure that guns will not be allowed in certain places.
Of course, “blood will run in the streets”, “violence will increase” (like it hasn’t already, even with those earlier laws in place), and my favorite: “The epidemic of gun violence sweeping our nation demonstrates daily the folly of introducing more guns into this boiling cauldron.” All the usual scare tactics, and all the usual disregard of actual facts — that carry laws haven’t caused any such thing.
Still glad to be living in a state which isn’t afraid of its citizens being armed.
Afterthought: by the way, the article states that the Supreme Court’s decision was “an expansion of gun rights”, which is a total lie. What the decision did was reaffirm gun rights, rights which should never have been infringed in the first place.
