Supreme Court dismisses second amendment case.

-- In a twist, after the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, the city allowed licensed owners to take handguns to other locations, including second homes or shooting ranges outside city limits. In addition, the State of New York amended its handgun licensing statute to require localities to allow licensed gun owners to engage in such transport.

~ So ...? Seems all's well that ends well.

 

So all of those that don't own guns also do not support gun ownership? It has nothing to do with city laws?

 

Antwerp is pretty bad in terms of drugs yet nowhere near the amount of gundeaths like the US,
there was a drugswar going on for the last 6years atleast with the occasional grenade explosions at the night (never any casualties) but somehow it doesnt translate into gundeaths here

total deaths belgium 2015
1,24 of 100 000pop (1,03 suicide 0,14 homocide) with 6,86 guns
total deaths USA 2017
12,21 of 100 000pop (7,32 suicide 4,46 homocide) with 120,5 guns

drugs itself seems unlikely to me since there is clear competition here to between colombian & albanian and others

17-18 times the guns
31-32 times the homocide deaths though

Except for the fact that it is not. The city of New York makes the process of legally acquiring a firearm as difficult as possible, to discourage as much firearms ownership as possible.

 

The key point being left out on the part of yourself in the above statement, is the simple fact that such has always been the case. Such details have always been a constant factor, rather than a recent development. Other countries have always experienced lower firearm-related homicide rates than the united states, even before they chose to implement significant firearm-related restrictions.

More accurately it has to do with the culture, rather than the lack of firearms. The various asian nations of the world have never been opposed to committing killings and murders with knives and other bladed implements.

Just recently the nation of China experienced a school stabbing incident that left nine individuals dead, easily rivaling and even exceeding a great many mass shootings in the united states.

What countries do not have a lower rate of firearm-related murders than the united states? Point them out. show the nations that exceed the united states in this regard.

 

What is the annual homicide rate, rather than the firearm-related homicide rate?

 

It's not up for debate. 80% of America's gun crimes are directly related to gang activity.

Take that 80% out of the equation and recalculate. You'll soon see that America is very safe compared to anywhere in the world.
All gun laws do is make people victims and make government more authoritative.

 

You left out the other 350,000 who have guns in NYC.
But they city is unaware of them, except at crime scenes.

 

Not a chance have you there are 12000 police officers in the city people know better that they are always watched then to try and sneak a gun in.

Although the city should set up checkpoints going in since it would not slow the rate of traffic at all.

 

New York gun laws virtually guarantee that the only people with guns are the police and criminals.

 

There are SO many things you don't know...

 

No! You seem to be all about screwing over the constitution.

 

Wonderful. I'm so proud that NY has decided to ignore the Constitution.
I wonder how long until NY cancels all the remaining Constitutional rights?

I wonder if that's why everyone except the hard core Communists are fleeing NYC?

 

more than 60,000 gun owners in NYC.

in the rest of the state? about 2 million

 

In every single thread where guns are mentioned.......

No one who is opposed to gun ownership has ever admitted that maybe it's poor policies by Democrats (criminal leniency, Sanctuary cities, open borders, family interference for example), that has
created any and all of the problems they rave about? They are never willing to discuss mental health and the fact that 90% of the crime with guns is committed by a very small percentage of the population.

Explained: As most know, It is because most of these same people crave government with far stricter control over it's subjects. See Michigan Democrat governor during COVID-19
Guns are explicitly about empowering people over government. See US Constitution.

Unfortunately, Americans are slowly but steadily and willingly surrendering their Constitutional rights to these same people through inaction and acceptance.

 

Isn't it a bit frightening that our Constitutional Rights can be arbitrarily over ruled by only 9 people (or less)?

That is proof that the Founding Fathers NEVER imagined that so many people born under the US Constitution would turn against it.

The left is slowly reinterpreting or selectively dismissing the US Constitution at the same time the rest of America continues to think that the Constitution will continue to protect them without their involvement....and ignoring the fact that they have been proven consistently wrong.

 

That's the system our Founding Fathers created.

 

My priority is safety and then prosperity. Which is why public surveillance systems that are programmed to alert the city when they see someone walk out of a gun store or have something that looks like a gun.

We have the technology might as well use it when people know there a 0% chance they are not going to be caught on tape they will either stop doing crime or flee to another jurisdiction where they know they can hide.

 

It wasn't their intent.

Hence the 3 branches of government and the concept of "Balance of power"

Hundreds of years ago, however, they were not able to conceive of the mass betrayal of Constitutional principles we see today in America.

They mistakenly assumed that future generations of Americans would value the great nation they created. They were wrong apparently.

 

technically no, the supreme court has no power to strike down laws or interpret the constitution they gave that to themselves. They court is aware that they need the backing of the public or they will lose their authority since it is not in the constitution.

The supreme court is an appeals court not a constitutional court.

 

You know, if the Left is allowed to continue re-writing history, I'm sure eventually the Left will present their "new and improved" version of the Constitution and the media will confirm it's validity.

And there will be more than ample public support of it all. The nations has changed. Future in doubt.

 

Your priority is wrong. My priority is the constitution which protects us from peoole like you who want to control everything..

80% of gun crimes are caused by gangs gangs don't buy guns from gun stores.. spying in gun stores is about as stupid as it gets.
Crack down hard on gangs or your public saftey comments are completely bogus.
I don't believe you care about public saftey at all. There is no evidence to suggest that you do. There is however evidence that you simply hate guns and gun owners and that is why you don't care about the constitution.

Again, if you care about public saftey as it relates to guns, you HAVE to be for cracking down on gangs,yes mostly minirity gangs.
Until then your words are meaningless politically motivated and factually wrong.

 

The founding fathers broke all conventional wisdom of how to make effective constitution.

 

Well, if we begin to talk of things they couldn't have imagined hundreds of years ago, someone on the left will no doubt quickly chime in that we don't need a 2nd Amendment in modern times.

As if humankind has evolved past tyranny and corruption.

 

And were successful beyond all imagination.
