When you consider that Heller and MacDonald were decided by a 5-4 decision and that they have heard exactly one case about the 2a since then, you can see that the most important right is the one that is being pushed aside.
For the past maybe ten years, since Obama’s end of first term I’d say, each year contains an ever escalating event or change or two or three that eviscerates rights, destroys the past, or irrevocably reduces choices and freedom in the future. Each year brings a more jaw dropping openly done action against all that is good and right – globally, and, more to my concern, here against America, against her citizens and their way of life and their rights.
Consider, how innocent even the very robotic and evil Hillary Clinton campaign looks now, when an entire election was stolen through international and domestic coordinated vote machine fraud and open actions of (mostly black) foot soldiers who were convinced they were saving the country by cheating for Joe Biden. Which of course led to Biden being seated and then immediately taking each and every action on each and every situation that was the opposite of what was good and right and Constitutional and openly displaying that he is a empty shell and no one knows who is really running things, except well, the same as who is running the country generally. The CFR/Bohemian/Davos/Big Tech/Big Media/Soros-Democrat Globalists.
They all follow the same plan, and it is apparent that the same network is part of why the 2a is treated as it is. We are now up to over 200 pages in lexis when you search under just Second amendment of the US Constitution – 200 pages of holdings from cases. One is Miller, one is Cruikshank, those are old, then Heller, and MacDonald, and Caetano (although it was not heard it was summarily reversed) and ALL THE REST are cases where either the district or the circuit court found a twisted way to interpret Heller and MacDonald to rule against the people claiming they had rights under the 2a.
200 pages!
I will paste in some selections, but they will enrage you if you are anything like me. What manipulation!@ And at this point, we are only one supreme court decision away from a ruling which decides if it is okay that the lower courts have said people can’t carry in public (then what does “bear arms” mean?) or if it is true that anything a state says is an “assault weapon” made up term is outside the protection of the 2a because they are “like the m-16, and Heller said that the m-16 was not protected as it was most useful in war”
(as an aside, how could a militia be armed if they were forbidden something “most useful in war”)
But that is the actual ruling in the decision which was on its way to the supreme court and which all CA cases were ordered “held in abeyance” pending the ruling. Then suddenly, a new York pistol and rifle case got there ahead of the CA case, even though it was only two years ago that new York pistol and rifle vs. city and state of new York also got all CA 2a cases held in abeyance pending the supreme court decision. And you know what happened with THAT case? After all that waiting, and even though the case asked them to clarify to lower courts if they really meant what they said in Heller and MacDonald – well, at the last minute, new York city and state overturned their own law that was the one challenged in the case, and the Supreme court then dismissed the case as MOOT! Meaning the petitioners who had spent millions to fight the law the legal way with the case were left without a ruling that they were entitled to their costs on appeal. And meaning that any state or city now can make any unconstitutional law they want – petitioners will have to pony up the millions to fight it and wait all those years as it works its way up to the supreme court. Other cases challenging similar laws in other circuits or states will be held in abeyance pending the resolution of the case challenging the unconstitutional law, and then, only IF the supreme court agrees to hear the case, then the city or state can get rid of the law. They will have been able to keep it all the way until then, all through the pending, and then get it dismissed as moot. And as soon as its dismissed, just pass another law, exactly the same or worse, and start the same process over again.
insert justice thomas’s dissent in that dismissal
insert the Scalia dissent on cases after Heller
insert the pet for cert in Jackson
insert that recent pet for cert which discussed how the 9th sua sponte en banc always overrules panel decisions on the 2a which are in keeping with heller.
insert the terrible parts of rupp
insert some great parts from miller and duncan
and insert some sad pictures of what happens when 100 million are killed by their own government after being disarmed (and usually placed under communist or tyrannical rule)
Anyway, here are some links about this, and I will add some great quotes I”ve been getting from 2a cases to this article later.
