SCOTUS Citing Right to Carry in 'Ordinary Self-Defense' Makes Capehart's 'Blood Run Cold'

For the liberal media elite, carrying a weapon is reserved for important reasons. You know: like for protecting politicians. It's not for ordinary folks wanting to be able to defend themselves.
That was the clueless and condescending opinion expressed by Jonathan Capehart on his MSNBC show Sunday.
Capehart was commenting on the Supreme Court's recent decision in the Bruen case, in which the Court found that the State of New York's requirements for obtaining a concealed carry permit were unconstitutionally restrictive. Under New York's regulations, applicants had to demonstrate "proper cause"—and wishing to protect themselves or their property was deemed insufficient.
The Court ruled that "the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home."
That horrified Capehart, who said:
"There's a phrase in the Supreme Court’s decision that just made my blood run cold. And that was, someone should be able to carry a concealed weapon for, quote, ordinary self-defense."

Why would it do that if you are not someone who intends to victimize someone?

"There's a phrase in the Supreme Court’s decision that just made my blood run cold. And that was, someone should be able to carry a concealed weapon for, quote, ordinary self-defense." The idea of a free citizen defending themselves, their family or their property goes against everything the left believes in. If they had their way, we would like the UK, where you can get locked up if you even punch or kick a burglar you catch in your home. You are suppose to be meek and helpless and rely on the government to come help you.

"There's a phrase in the Supreme Court’s decision that just made my blood run cold. And that was, someone should be able to carry a concealed weapon for, quote, ordinary self-defense." What is this freak planning to do, that the possibility of "ordinary self defense" frightens him so? And is he the faggy looking fellow in the striped pink pants?

They want to make self defense illegal.
Like in France.
Armed citizens are an occupational hazard to their criminal constituents.
