Our constitution was effectively re-written once again this week, as a group of liberal judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided that the right to gun ownership in public is not protected by the constitution. It makes one wonder, if judges think that the ability to carry a gun isn’t a constitutional right, what does the Second Amendment protect?
This ruling is further proof of the dire need this country has for conservative judge appointments, and no sitting Governor seems more aware of this than Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
In a tweet attacking the senseless conceal carry decision, Abbott leveled a clear threat, “come and get it.”
Unfortunately for the Governor, state executives and legislators are being stripped of their rights to create and enforce the laws in their own states. Instead, activist judges have decided to grant themselves lawmaking power in order to push their personal agendas.

So why do people want to take guns out of law abiding citizens hands?
If concealed isn’t protected, then I guess open carry is our only option.
But you still can’t read the writing on the wall.
A well regulated militia, ( what is/was this?….the people. at the time it was written the people were the militia who knew how to shoot) , being necessary to the security of a free state, (people would come together to fight for thier state), (there is a comma here….means to include)…, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Its really not a hard read, straight to the point, no interpretation needed
NC has the law in process now for Nov..hearing it’s going to pass..I have a permit so not too worried but most won’t go thru the red tape so this will be good if these slackers decide to train regularly and study the laws …
Opinions are like assholes, we all have them. And, we are all certainly entitled to our opinions about the 2nd Amendment. The concept folks here don’t seem to get is that our opinions on the Constitutionality of laws don’t mean jack$#%&!@* The opinions of the Supreme Court are MUCH more important than ours. The 2nd is ONLY one sentence long so of course it needs to be interpreted. Not to mention the fact that modern weapons were not considered. SCOTUS has said MANY times that gun control IS Constitutional. Just this week they upheld the Constitutionality of Connecticut’s ban on assault weapons. So the NRA and their ilk have lied to you all, again, and like a pathetic herd if sheep, you believe them.
Exactly we cannot elect a Prez that will appoint more inept and liberal Supreme Court Judges.
That’s not actually what the 9th ruled, though. That said that there was no constitutional right to a concealed gun in public, a position which is not contrary to any other federal court. They declined to give an opinion as to whether there was or was not a right to carry a gun somehow, as the question had not been asked. A bit weasely, but not wrong.
Our governor just rocks. Can’t wait to change his title from governor to president.
Brian Frost, I hope you don’t act like this around the scout troop.
