Rich Welsh| The US Supreme Court on Thursday struck down New York’s century-old gun law in a major ruling that restricted the carrying of concealed weapons. This is a win for gun rights and can probably be seen as a precursor to how the High Court will rule on the gun control infringements that Democrats and 14 RINOs are pushing right now through Congress.
The ruling was a 6-3 decision. Writing the opinion for the Court, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that “when the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitutionpresumptively protects that conduct.”
“To justify its regulation, the government may not simply posit that the regulation promotes an important interest,” Thomas added. “Rather, the government must demonstrate that the regulation is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
