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.

You will never hear the truth.
Damn right! And morons like this Joe Larkin will be the first to die.
Remember, CHL’ing is another tax in the people. It should end, &, Texas should follow the several other states, who follow the Constitution.
Criminal element is big big business..
“Most of the guns used in chocago crime come from places woth less restrictive legislation.”
Don – Do you have anything factual to support this, or is this just more VPC regurgitated tripe?
You do prove my point however. Criminals will simply ignore the laws no matter how restrictive they may be.
This article is falsely stating facts! There is nothing in the Constitution about hiding guns on your person being protected. We need gun regulation, we don’t need gun bans!
Lane, the 2nd Amendment say “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. What is it that you don’t understand about that? “Bear Arms” is not defined, therefore they can be “beared” any way you want. This argument has been settled in DC vs Heller.
I got your back Don! You just keep on keeping on!
