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.
Continue reading on the next page to see the Court of Appeal’s shockingly absurd decision:
It’s a wacky California court . . . To be expected.
So if “concealed carry” is not a protected right and “open carry” scares people and makes you a terror threat, what is left for the honest citizen? The Governor is right. I think Andrew Jackson once remarked, “Mr. Marshall has made his decision. Left him come and enforce it.”
Why does the 9th circuit court still exist? Congress can unplug it any time they want.
The irony is strong. My governor also proclaimed undying devotion to law enforcement officers. You know, the same people he is threatening when he says “come and take them”….it will be LEO coming to take them….
Joe, the US 2nd Amendment does not trump the Texas constitution. The 2nd A places limits on the federal government, it places no restrictions on the several states.
I didn’t say state Constitution, the U S Constitution as noted in my comment. Thank you sir.
You are exactly right about the revenue Joe. There is a lot if money being made. My wife and I discussed this last night. It’s crazy when you think about what a license really is. A license is nothing more than a “right” that the government takes away from you THEN sells you that “right” back to you. You have a right to drive on public roads but the government says no unless you purchase that “right” and then you can drive. Same with registering a boat, car, hunting, fishing, carrying a gun, etc. those thing are our constitutional right but you can do any of them unless you *purchase* it from the government. Makes no damn sense to me. Everyone should have the right to do these things listed without having to *pay* to do it. I understand that the money goes towards roads, bridges, wildlife, etc but aren’t we already taxed enough for all of that ??? Don’t know about all of y’all but our roads around here are terrible, out bridges are falling apart, I haven’t seen anything done for our deer around here and now the deer have chronic wasting disease. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t agree with having to pay to do the things that I consider my God Given Right to do in the first place.
If it gets so stupid that they try to confiscate firearms, maybe they’ll get Obama to walk point.
My question to these judges is, “which of your rights under the constitution are you will to give up?” None? Me neither.!
The 9th circuit court is the most overturned and far left leaning court in the country. It really doesn’t matter what they say, any law or decision that contradicts the constitution is moot.
