Topic: Hooray for the SCOTUS | |

With midterms coming up I just wonder if the far right conservatives will still be dancing in the streets when they fail to gain seats in the house and Senate? They should of had no problem doing so with gas prices, inflation, and the over all running of the country. However with gun violence on the rise many people want to see gun laws tightened, not loosened. And with 75% of people saying they accept at least some level of abortion, and woman's right to choose. People want more rights, not less rights, this includes the right to safer streets without guns on them. The far right conservatives somehow think they are gaining ground, however they are just shooting themselves in the foot. People on the fence will have a hard decision on which way to turn. Moderate Republicans could go towards Independents which will never win, but will take votes from the Republicans.
If people take the time to actually see what the overturn of the New York gun law consists of may be surprised at what it really says. Some people on here advertise it like anybody can carry a gun either concealed or open carry anytime without a permit. That is far from truth. The NY law that was on the books since 1913, yes, over 100 years on the books, said you had to have "proper cause" to get a permit to carry and just saying it is for "self defence" isn't enough. That is really the only part of the law that was over turned. States can still require a permit to carry, require fingerprints, do a background check, do a mental health check, and require firearm training. They can also still have laws that bans guns in schools, churches, bars, public buildings. Private companies can also ban guns and post signs that no guns allowed. What really gets me is the Federal government that allows you to carry guns also bans guns in federal buildings. They don't care what is good for anybody else, they just care about what is good for them. |
