Court tosses NY case that could have expanded gun rights [More]As I've said before, all the Supreme Court has to do to let infringements stand is nothing.
It appears there are other cases waiting in the wings with the potential to chip a few flakes. Again as I've said before, don't look for unvarnished recognition of "shall not be infringed" unless and until there is a credible "or else" attached to the demand.

Kavanaugh wrote in 2011 "gun laws “that are not longstanding or sufficiently rooted in text, history, and tradition are not consistent with the Second Amendment individual right.""
ReplyDeleteIt does not matter how longstanding or how much they are rooted in text, history, and tradition or even if they are previously settled law by the SCOTUS (see Plessey v. Ferguson). If a law is in conflict with the U.S. Constitution, then it is invalid.
