Biden Administration Asks the U.S. Supreme Court to Judicially Nullify the Right to Bear Arms
nraila.org ^ | Sept. 27, 2021

On September 21, the Biden Administration filed an amicus brief in the pending U.S. Supreme Court case of New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, supporting New York’s draconian and unconstitutional restrictions on the right to bear firearms in public for self-defense.

This NRA-supported challenge to New York’s “may-issue” licensing scheme for public handgun carry is the first Second Amendment challenge to a firearm law to reach the high court since 2010.

New York’s law presumptively denies the right to bear arms for self-defense unless a license applicant can demonstrate a special need for self-protection that distinguishes the person from the general population.

In practice, this means the rich and well-connected can get unrestricted carry licenses but ordinary people cannot, even if they actually face a greater risk of being violently victimized while going about their daily lives in public. The law effectively nullifies for most New Yorkers what the Supreme Court has already characterized as “the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.”

New York’s “may-issue” scheme in fact gives authorities so much discretion that it has fostered a culture of corruption, particularly within the Licensing Division of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). There have been repeated scandals involving the NYPD Licensing Division’s application process, with “facilitators” offering gifts and bribes to licensing personnel to approve or expedite their clients’ applications. In some cases, this has resulted in the issuance of carry licenses to applicants with otherwise disqualifying criminal histories and in criminal convictions for NYPD officers. In other locales, licenses are issued by elected sheriffs, with preference given to political donors and supporters.

Still have all my maps, intel and contacts. And damn sure ready to hop an op.

America as current Constituted, with our freedom to own guns, cannot stand. The liberal, communist, socialist, pig stink dimocrats and the One World Government mob, HAVE TO DESTROY the Constitution and Bill of Rights, thus disarming us, so that they can take completely over and RULE over us. As long as we have guns, we cannot be ruled. But, a complete weapons ban is coming. One way or the other, they have to take them up, to shut down free people. They will start by taking away all government checks (disability, social security, Medicare, etc.), no medical care payments of any kind, kids kicked out of school, telling your job to suspend or fire you, interment camps, until we do turn them in. The list can go on and on. But, all these will be implemented to push us to turn them in. They will do everything in every power they have to take them away. They HAVE TO DO THIS to be able to RULE over us and destroy America as we are. America has to fall for the OWG to come into complete power. It cannot as long as we are who we are. And, this will at some point come true. The Bible clearly speaks of these times and America cannot be for all the End Times things to come full. And they will come. GOD said it and it will happen. Nothing we can try or do to stop it. When is the question. It is all on GOD’s time table, not ours. He could give us days, weeks, months or years before it all comes, but it will come. The Book clearly says so.

They’ll have to move fast. They basically have less than a year left to even get the fake ruling they want from the Roberts supreme court, let alone do any confiscating. And no way do they want this playing out next fall. Because they are not going to be able to rig the 2022 election the way they did 2020...

They can do whatever they want. Won’t make it legal. I also think they’re going to have a little problem enforcing it as well

Well, we knew this was coming.

I just hope there is some semblance of decency on SCOTUS.

Yes, I would take my guns and ammo. In the meantime, hide them. Where no one will look.

And hide your cash too.

From now on, we should all be paying cash.
