Second Amendment Being Restored to Its Rightful Place, Thanks to Bruen Decision<\/a><\/p>\n

In Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas\u2019 majority opinion in\u00a0New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen<\/em>\u00a0(aka \u201cBruen<\/em>\u201d), decided in June, he wrote:<\/p>\n

The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not a \u201csecond-class right,\u201d subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.<\/p>\n

We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The ruling in\u00a0Bruen<\/em>\u00a0was twofold:\u00a0<\/a>1) that New York State\u2019s law requiring a citizen to show \u201cproper cause\u201d before being granted the privilege of carrying a concealed weapon was unconstitutional; and 2) that the right to carry a handgun in public is guaranteed by the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n

That ruling has unleashed a tsunami of lawsuits by Second Amendment supporters, to the point where\u00a0far-left news outlet CNN complained<\/a>\u00a0that the decision has \u201cput gun control laws in jeopardy nationwide.\u201d Noted CNN:<\/p>\n

In the three months since the 6-3 decision in\u00a0New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen<\/em>, scores of new lawsuits have been filed against gun restrictions at the federal, state, and local levels\u2026.<\/p>\n

Since the June ruling, federal judges in at least a half-dozen different cases have already cited the\u00a0Bruen<\/em>\u00a0decision to rule against gun restrictions that have included local assault weapons bans, prohibitions on the manufacture of homemade firearms and bans on older teenagers publicly carrying handguns.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The outlet noted with chagrin that a federal district judge in Delaware declared that state\u2019s ban on \u201cghost guns\u201d (guns that are made at home without serial numbers) not valid under the high court\u2019s ruling. In addition, reported the network, assault weapons bans inflicted on Coloradans in two local jurisdictions were placed on hold, and Texas\u2019 public-carry ban on individuals aged 18 to 20 was struck down as well.<\/p>\n

CNN failed to note, probably by design, that many other rulings following the\u00a0Bruen<\/em>\u00a0decision have begun to restore the Second Amendment to its rightful place in the Bill of Rights.<\/p>\n

Here is just a partial list of Second Amendment victories scored since\u00a0Bruen<\/em>:<\/p>\n
