Range vs Garland-En Banc "our Nation's THT" do not support disarming Range(plaintiff)

[marcusrn]

21st-century America, specifically the places controlled by the Democratic Party where much of the population lives, is an upside-down place. Merely setting foot into a public park while carrying a gun, even in possession of an onerously obtained government permit, induces felony charges, while thieves loot store shelves bare in broad daylight and perverts display their genitalia in front of children at parades without consequences.

Here's the deal. The way to play this is to stick the biggest and coolest BBQ gun inside your belt and go and do whatever you want. Especially in dem environs. All you do for legal protection is wear pink silk unters with Helly Kitty decals. This reverses all legal problems and the DA folks will probably supply good legal council to get you out of trouble. All you do is shut up and look squirrelly.

21st-century America, specifically the places controlled by the Democratic Party where much of the population lives, is an upside-down place. Merely setting foot into a public park while carrying a gun, even in possession of an onerously obtained government permit, induces felony charges, while thieves loot store shelves bare in broad daylight and perverts display their genitalia in front of children at parades without consequences.

It's what I have regularly referred to as an 'alternative reality.'

In some respects, it's a reality the rest of the World actually lives with. In that sense, it's the very thing we fought a Revolutionary War over to separate ourselves from. It's why you see the UN says... we need to get rid of our Constitution to be more in line with the rest of the World, why there's talk about One World Government, why... a whole lot of things.

While there's bound to be some differences given our nearly 250 year sovereignty, the reality is that those differences are what made the U.S. what it is and has led to not only our accomplishments, but the reason why so many want to come here. It's Reagan's "Shining Beacon on the Hill."



Supposedly coming from a sermon by John Winthrop, it's actually from a Biblical verse and has been used throughout our history to describe America...



Matthew 5:14... Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

This is why the 2nd Amendment is so important for it is what puts the teeth in other fundamental rights like freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, etc. While there are 8 or 9 countries which have a 'right to keep and bear arms,' our 2nd Amendment and its application are actually unique. Which is actually what this fight is over.

Most of us can agree that a violent offense is or could be considered grounds for a lifetime ban. However, many, even most, of us question the rationale behind non-violent crimes also leading to a lifetime ban on firearms. Should someone who inappropriately received $2,500 in food stamps, sentenced to probation and restitution, be held to the same standard as a murderer or rapist? Should the reasons, the charges, the verdict, etc. be taken into account and provide mitigation? If the 'Bruen test' (THT) is now applied (remember, the case was filed before Bruen was decided and Bryan's conviction was in 1995), how might the outcome have been altered and should it be retroactively applied?

It's also a 'test run' in regard to Justice Barrett. From October 2020... Amy Coney Barrett on Guns...

...Judge Barrett, in a 37-page dissent, found no uncertainty in the historical record. According to her reading of the history, legislatures only had the power to strip dangerous people of the right to keep and bear arms...

That case was Kanter v Barr and her dissent can be found starting at the top of Page 27...

BARRETT, Circuit Judge, dissenting. History is consistent with common sense: it demonstrates that legislatures have the power to prohibit dangerous people from possessing guns. But that power extends only to people who are dangerous. Founding-era legislatures did not strip felons of the right to bear arms simply because of their status as felons. Nor have the parties introduced any evidence that founding-era legislatures imposed virtue-based restrictions on the right; such restrictions applied to civic rights like voting and jury service, not to individual rights like the right to possess a gun. In 1791 - and for well more than a century afterward - legislatures disqualified categories of people from the right to bear arms only when they judged that doing so was necessary to protect the public safety...

The Supreme Court did not release any order today for Range v. Garland. This is a good sign, as the cert petition has not been denied.

I watched Mark's video and read the main opinion. Clear and concise and well done. I expect that it will be cited in upcoming 2A cases.
