0 Days Since Last Shooting: Reset The Calendar Again

Re: 0 Days Since Last Shooting: Reset The Calendar Again

I hear the Supreme Court after Heller has been refusing to hear anymore 2nd Amendment cases. Thomas is pretty ****ed about that.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined Tuesday to hear a Second Amendment challenge to California’s law requiring a 10-day waiting period for new gun purchases. The high court’s refusal let stand a federal appeals court decision that called the waiting period a “reasonable safety precaution” without requiring the state to produce evidence and without hearing contrary arguments.
What is the background?

The case began with a lawsuit by California gun owner Jeff Silvester and the CalGuns Foundation, who said the waiting period is too long for gun owners who are purchasing a second or subsequent weapon and for citizens who already have a California concealed carry permit.

The 9th Circuit Court upheld the law based on California’s stance that the waiting period could deter purchasers from getting another gun “better suited for a heinous use.”
What did Clarence Thomas write in the dissent?

Only one justice, Clarence Thomas, wrote a dissent of the high court’s refusal to hear the case.

In his dissent, Thomas slammed the cavalier treatment of the Second Amendment and accused the court of taking an unfavorable stance toward an explicit constitutional right.

Here is some of his dissent:

Because the right to keep and bear arms is enumerated in the Constitution, courts cannot subject laws that burden it to mere rational-basis review. But the decision below did just that. Purporting to apply intermediate scrutiny, the Court of Appeals upheld California’s 10-day waiting period for firearms based solely on its own “common sense.”

If a lower court treated another right so cavalierly, I have little doubt that this Court would intervene. But as evidenced by our continued inaction in this area, the Second Amendment is a disfavored right in this Court.

Thomas also made it clear he did not “believe we should be in the business of choosing which constitutional rights are ‘really worth insisting upon.’”

I also wanted to say how I appreciated the Florida legislature killing those kids again. Good job.

The only way to reduce casualties is to have more people shooting

From the NY Times.

Justice Clarence Thomas filed an impassioned 14-page dissent in the case. “The Second Amendment is a disfavored right in this court,” he wrote.

That might be my favorite Supremes Quote of all time. What a mind.

If a plan doesn't work, you change it. That's what we're trying to do now, correct?

You realize there was an assault weapons ban. And it was changed while it was working. And now it's an epidemic? Or, maybe you don't realize that. Politics don't work anywhere near "plan doesn't work, you change it".

My guess is that when someone remembers that these 18 year olds can vote, some hairbrained state leg will try to raise the voting age to 21 now that Donnie is pondering making kids wait til 21 to buy an AR 15

1. Never said BANZ THE GUNZ.
2. Already stated in this thread that guns and cars (your favorite analogy) should be the same.
3. Thoughts and prayers.

Or better yet, don't like it, sign up for the military. Then you can play with the bang bang toys there.

Uh, if it doesn’t work you have a dead student, a jailed teacher, and more guns than ever in schools.

This isn’t something to be so cavalier about, to borrow a phrase from Thomas.
