I agree in principle, but not in totality (largely due to bad faith arguements). Everyone should have the right to privacy and basic essentials, to carry a glock around wherever not so much.

By talking point, you mean how the US constitution was written and the whole point of the supreme court?

Edit: Until congress does their job and pass legislation on these matters, this is unfortunately how the cookie crumbles.

Also ignoring the web 1.0 webpage, why did Scalia argue that this portion of the 2A can be ignored? Cant the state pass laws to maintain the well regulation of arms?

Slavery was always legal and only after the civil war did restrictions come about (you can probably guess what group of people this was meant to target). Ignoring hyperbole, it is a fact that the "well regulated" portion of the 2A was understood to allow for restrictions until Scalia made up a reason to ignore it, again in 2008.

Im not going to defend the way NY is going about it, but to say there is no history for gun regulation by States is ignoring history and stare decisis.

How come it took so long if the premise was correct the entire time?

Just a reminder that the right to bear arms in public places was only established in 2008.

[–] Rodsterlings_cig@kbin.social -1 points 9 months ago

Since 2008. It was well understood that regulations were fine until then

What I think happened was the government submitted sealed documents (i. E. not for public disclosure) for consideration in the case and she made public reference/comments on the aforementioned documents, potentially exposing another ongoing investigation.

Anyone more lawyerly feel free to correct.

J. J. Abrams: Why are you booing me? I'm right.

Is this an acoustic thing, or am I too electric to understand?

Why are you booing them, they are right.

Edit. Above is correct.

The bane of politics is the refusal to do what is right because of perceived political interests.

I understand why it is like that, but it never ceases to amaze me. Though this is a great example of what the testament of a few individuals can accomplish even under such conditions.
