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.

Judges don’t make law!! Why do we keep giving them this power?
You’re a former teacher?
No, “well regulated” in the context of the time it was written does not mean regulated by the gov’t.
I assume you did not teach history.
You obviously do not understand what “well regulated” means in the context of which it was written. How about, “shall not be infringed?” Not much ambiguity in that phrase.
well… we can believe YOU… or we can believe those 9 old farts in black robes in DC about the Constitutionality of laws and what “well regulated” means. In the context colonial times, they did not want standing armies in peacetime so they made laws requiring citizens to form militia, own arms and be trained. We no longer need a citizen militia in the context of these modern times as we have a rather expensive military for that purpose. The older guys also respected democracy… new poll: 89% of Americans want universal background checks…. 90% no fly no buy…. “NO BILL.. NO BREAK”
See how you feel when you need a background check for a fishing license and a permit for your pole bet you change your tune
Royal oak, Mi. My hometown. Welcome to Texas.
Feel free to carry your muzzle loading musket (which was the Founding Father’s intent) wherever you like. For the safety of the rest of the populace…Leave your Glock & AK47 at home.
Indiana: Constitutional carry open or not, 4 year permit in the $25-50 range, lifetime permit in the $125.00 range. If a state uses a permit process, Indiana is worth looking at. I’m hoping someday Constitutional carry means no permit required
If they take our 2nd…then we need to take their 1st!
please believe this… my tune will NEVER EVER change. Fishing is a good example of an area regulated by common sense (licenses, fees, databases) It’s a shame guns aren’t treated the same way. It’s been a while since we had a fishing pole mass murder around here, you probably won’t need a background check.
