The Second Amendment was delivered yet another crushing blow by the liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Below is a segment of the preposterous decision, and how Governor Gregg Abbott responded.
“Because the Second Amendment does not protect in any degree the right to carry concealed firearms in public,” the court wrote, “any prohibition or restriction a state may choose to impose on concealed carry — including a requirement of ‘good cause,’ however defined — is necessarily allowed by the Amendment.”
Citing the historic DC v. Heller decision in his principal dissenting opinion, Judge Consuelo Callahan wrote the restriction essentially amounted to a “total ban on the right of an ordinary citizen to carry a firearm in public for self defense.”
In another tweet sent yesterday, Gov. Abbott – a fan of the Constitution and late pro-Second Amendment Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia – decried the court’s belief that it was above the supreme law of the land.
I’m tired of judges rewriting the Constitution. We need a president who appoints judges who apply it. #tcot #pjnet https://twitter.com/fft2127/status/741064648057716736 … –@GregAbbott_TX
Every year, it seems that there are fewer and fewer principled conservatives who are willing to stand up for citizens’ right to gun ownership. For now, it looks like Texans are in good hands.

Why do we need a law to reinforce the 2nd amendment. It is clear. It is placed in order of importance. It in a section called Bill of Rights that protects the citizen
