'The right to self-defense and to defend your family


Recommended Posts

The National Rifle Association weighed in on the Supreme Court ruling striking down regulations in New York that made it difficult for citizens of the state to obtain a license to carry a handgun.

"Today’s ruling is a watershed win for good men and women all across America and is the result of a decades-long fight the NRA has led," Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, said in a statement Thursday. "The right to self-defense and to defend your family and loved ones should not end at your home. This ruling brings life-saving justice to law-abiding Americans who have lived under unconstitutional regimes all across our country, particularly in cities and states with revolving door criminal justice systems, no cash bail and increased harassment of law-enforcement. "

LaPierre's statement comes after the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Thursday that New York regulations requiring citizens prove "proper cause" for seeking a concealed pistol license were unconstitutionally restrictive.

"In this case, petitioners and respondents agree that ordinary, law-abiding citizens have a similar right to carry handguns publicly for their self-defense. We too agree, and now hold, consistent with Heller and McDonald, that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home," Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the Court's majority opinion. "Because the State of New York issues public-carry licenses only when an applicant demonstrates a special need for self-defense, we conclude that the State’s licensing regime violates the Constitution."

The case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, was the first major Second Amendment case the court has heard in over 10 years. It was brought before the court by the NRA affiliated organization, with the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund filing a Brief Amicus Curiae in support of the organization's lawsuit.

The ruling was not celebrated by the White House, with President Biden releasing a statement saying he is "deeply disappointed" by the result of the case.

Does arms mean guns solely?

I think better questions are...

Can you walk and chew gum at the same time?

When you shit your pants do you clean up the mess yourself or ask an orderly to do it?

Also l, wtf is military style? Made by the lowest bidder? Lol. Never understood that argument.

The average person in the us cannot legally buy full auto with out having some sort of license, as far as I know. In Canada, Full autos have been banned for civilian ownership since 1977. On top of that, .223/5.56 is illegal to hunt deer with in Canada as it seemed not a powerful enough round to ethically kill them.

North America has education, economic, low information voter, lying authorities, and all around inability to to see something from an objective point of view problem.

Much like the climate stuff they went from Assault Rifle to Assault Weapon to Military style. Those ever evolving made up definitions to fit their argument

So that rules you out as owning any sort of gun, since you clearly have a vag.  What's your extension ... one of Badger's dildos?

Politicians rely on the public's ignorance with most everything.  Gun laws are a very good example as most anti-gun people have no clue what any of the laws currently say.
