Today, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect the right to carry firearms in public. Ultimately, the Court held that: “New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment in that it prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms.” The ruling specifically challenged the law in New York, but will also apply to the eight other states that still maintain “may-issue” gun permitting laws, including California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.

"Ignorance is no excuse of the law." Unfortunately that only applies to us peasants and not to those law enforcement individuals who should be held to a higher standard.
I've never understood how the constitutions statement that the government "SHALL MAKE NO LAW" has evolved into so many laws regarding firearms.
Just like warrantless searches of your car
I'll take government seriously when they allow convicted felons that served their time, the right afforded them in the Constitution. If they can take a "felons" right to own arms to protect themselves, then they can take your rights to speech, due process, etc. for any reason or no reason.
Will this lead to former felons being able to exercise their 2A Right? There is ample written and historical law on the matter (at one point, upon release from prison/jail included the reclamation of previously owned firearms. Even "traitors" of the Confederacy were permitted to retain 2A rights.) Former felons are regularly restricted in many ways, Constitutional rights seem not apply to them nearly at all. Just curious to others thoughts.
“Ignorance Of The Law Is No Excuse” is what we are told by law enforcement all the time when questioned by police. Why isn’t the same standard not applied to the Government?
Democrats and republicans are identical to their victims, slave’s/native Americans… brown people in general.
-_-/ for profit & perpetuity
We can walk our roads regather if are goals are all the same. We can run alone and free it we persue a deferent game. Let the truth of love be lighted, let the love of truth shine clear.
Sensibly,armed with sense and liberty and the heart and mind united in a single,perfect
Sphere
There is no left or right wing in the constitution!
This is what’s so wrong about our country!
We have to find away to make people to look 👀 that we are one ☝️ on this planet,indivisible with the heart and united in a single,perfect sphere
The constitution is the Law and ignorance of the law is no excuse, any cop, any prosecutor, any judge will tell you ignorance of the law is no excuse, why does that not apply to government authorities who should know better than we do what the Law is.
LEFT WING GROUPS COMMIT INSURRECTIONS???!!! What universe are you living in???? And you call yourself a "Civil Rights Lawyer". Thank you for making your bias clear and that your "legal opinion" is crap.
Expect a massive increase in shootings both by police and by criminals. Glad I don't have to live there.
End all qualified immunity and judicial immunity
Why can't we give the lawbooks to the supreme court and let the take all the bad law off the books. Start with the crap the cop's try to us.
The literal script of the second amendment does not provide universal abilities to possess any arms!
Nukes are ARMS and it cannot be reasonably argued that no limits as being tenable universally. Therefore, the limit must be set somewhere. While it is reasonable than many would challenge this decision, in the proper forum. It is up to Congress to create law. SCOTUS does not nullify what is codified into law. Congress' power provides for laws inconvenient for SCOTUS' dismemberment of the US Constitution and perversion of the rule of law!
Thank you for your informative videos, and unbiased opinions.
I have been saying this about the Second Amendment forever we don't use the same litmus test for any other constitutional right that we use for gun control it's wrong to do that
You're attempted insurrection comments were extremely stupid. No decent lawyer would say anything even close to that lmao.
Black Panthers are back, baby
Yeah the musket argument is ridiculous. So first amendment doesn't cover texts on cell phone or emails sent by PC because they didn't exist when constitution was written. They can disagree respectfully, they still have to follow the law.
If a person is in charge of enforcing laws, it is their responsibility to research law/changes. It like cops don’t care about continuing education.

"High Capacity" rifles were also available and in wide use by the citizenry include air rifles (the real deal, not the toys of today) which generally shot up to 10 rounds of .60 caliber ball ammo, as well as "gattling gun" type firearms, with 50-100 round magazines. Citizens routinely owned such things as cannons as well. The idea that muskets were the only thing available to citizens at the founding is patently absurd.
Unfortunately, SCOTUS botched the NYSRPA decision: while asserting (correctly) that the 2ad is not a second class right, they allow permitting to continue, which converts this "right" into a mere privilege. This decision is clearly ne of cowards.
