The dangers posed by firearms can take many forms.

Newspapers report mass shootings occurring at an entertainment district in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (3 dead

and 11 injured); an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas (21

dead); a supermarket in Buffalo, New York (10 dead and 3

injured); a series of spas in Atlanta, Georgia (8 dead); a busy

street in an entertainment district of Dayton, Ohio (9 dead

and 17 injured); a nightclub in Orlando, Florida (50 dead

and 53 injured); a church in Charleston, South Carolina (9

dead); a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado (12 dead and 50

injured); an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut (26

dead); and many, many more. See, e.g., R. Todt, 3 Dead, 11

In light of what we have actually held, it is hard to see

what legitimate purpose can possibly be served by most of

the dissent’s lengthy introductory section. See post, at 1–8

(opinion of BREYER, J.). Why, for example, does the dissent

think it is relevant to recount the mass shootings that have

occurred in recent years? Post, at 4–5. Does the dissent

think that laws like New York’s prevent or deter such atrocities? Will a person bent on carrying out a mass shooting

be stopped if he knows that it is illegal to carry a handgun

outside the home? And how does the dissent account for the

fact that one of the mass shootings near the top of its list

took place in Buffalo? The New York law at issue in this

case obviously did not stop that perpetrator.

What is the relevance of statistics about the use of guns

to commit suicide? See post, at 5–6. Does the dissent think

that a lot of people who possess guns in their homes will be

stopped or deterred from shooting themselves if they cannot

lawfully take them outside?

The dissent cites statistics about the use of guns in domestic disputes, see post, at 5, but it does not explain why

these statistics are relevant to the question presented in

this case. How many of the cases involving the use of a gun

in a domestic dispute occur outside the home

It's really distressing to know that even Breyer is just an NPC who will spout Democratic taking points whenever a gun is mentioned

XO Alito with the one shot kill

(https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5137142&forum_id=2#44728191)

That little line was very disingenuous, poorly reasoned, infantile even, quite beneath someone like Alito, and I'd like to think it didn't come from Alito but from some clerk.

(https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5137142&forum_id=2#44728474)

so Alito is citing a thing that happened that these gun laws were designed to MITIGATE.

How much have these laws mitigated?

Alito is just slam dunking this wordplay.

thanks for nuancing Alito's clear and devastating point.

- laughably weak reasoning? Yep.

- quintessentially boomer moderate-ism while holding a fundamentally shitlib position? OH yeah!

- pretentious dithering about civility while being pwned? Absolutely.

- mention of "the alt-right" and generally out-of-touch attempts to characterize his betters (i.e. those who disagree)? THAT'S A BINGO!

You fucking retard lmfao

you know they will. it's been 12 years since mcdonald and hawaii judges and legislatures openly violated it with this may carry nonsense. you know they are going to find a way to essentially ban carrying guns everywhere a thing and it'll take another decade for that to get challenged. and who knows what the court will look like then?

Exhibit two is the dissent filed in Heller by JUSTICE

BREYER, the author of today’s dissent. At issue in Heller

was an ordinance that made it impossible for any District

of Columbia resident to keep a handgun in the home for

self-defense. See 554 U. S., at 574–575. Even the respondent, who carried a gun on the job while protecting federal

facilities, did not qualify. Id., at 575–576. The District of

Columbia law was an extreme outlier; only a few other jurisdictions in the entire country had similar laws. Nevertheless, JUSTICE BREYER’s dissent, while accepting for the

sake of argument that the Second Amendment protects the

right to keep a handgun in the home, concluded, based on

essentially the same test that today’s dissent defends, that

the District’s complete ban was constitutional. See id., at

689, 722 (under “an interest-balancing inquiry. . .” the dissent would “conclude that the District’s measure is a proportionate, not a disproportionate, response to the compelling concerns that led the District to adopt it”).

Like that dissent in Heller, the real thrust of today’s dissent is that guns are bad and that States and local jurisdictions should be free to restrict them essentially as they see

fit.3 That argument was rejected in Heller, and while the

dissent protests that it is not rearguing Heller, it proceeds

to do just that. See post, at 25–28.

BU BU BUT where do we draw the line on postratification practice affecting the original meaning of the Constitution????

I join the Court’s opinion in full. I write separately to

highlight two methodological points that the Court does not

resolve. First, the Court does not conclusively determine

the manner and circumstances in which postratification

practice may bear on the original meaning of the Constitution. See ante, at 24–29. Scholars have proposed competing

and potentially conflicting frameworks for this analysis, including liquidation, tradition, and precedent. See, e.g., Nelson, Originalism and Interpretive Conventions, 70 U. Chi.

L. Rev. 519 (2003); McConnell, Time, Institutions, and Interpretation, 95 B. U. L. Rev. 1745 (2015). The limits on

the permissible use of history may vary between these

frameworks (and between different articulations of each

one). To name just a few unsettled questions: How long after ratification may subsequent practice illuminate original

public meaning? Cf. McCulloch v. Maryland, 4 Wheat. 316,

401 (1819) (citing practice “introduced at a very early period

of our history”). What form must practice take to carry

weight in constitutional analysis? See Myers v. United

States, 272 U. S. 52, 175 (1926) (citing a “legislative exposition of the Constitution . . . acquiesced in for a long term of

years”). And may practice settle the meaning of individual

rights as well as structural provisions? See Baude, Constitutional Liquidation, 71 Stan. L. Rev. 1, 49–51 (2019) (canvassing arguments). The historical inquiry presented in

this case does not require us to answer such questions,

which might make a difference in another case. See ante,

at 17–19.

CA law is weird: if you have a CCL from your county of residence you can CC anywhere in CA. so (not to be a Doobs) are you near Sacto, Solano, or San Joaquin?

people from rural counties in NY are given full carry permits in less than a week and can carry their firearm without restriction in nassau, suffolk, westchester counties.

people in said downstate counties need to wait 2+ years, provide multiple notarized good character references, pay a shitload of money, etc just to get a bullshit "sportsman" permit with significant restrictions on it. break the nonsense rules or piss off a cop? they'll cancel your permit, take all of your legally owned guns (including long guns), and you'll never be able to own a firearm again.
