In today’s 6-3 decision in favor of the Second Amendment, the Supreme Court struck down a New York gun-carry law that placed unnecessary burdens on citizens.
In writing the majority opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas stated “New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense.” Joined by John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, Thomas led the Court to a solid defense of Constitutional rights.
Gun control advocates are dissatisfied with the decision, saying it would lead to mass murders more in America, especially in light of recent high-profile mass shootings such as the Robb Elementary massacre in Uvalde Texas.
Noted Constitutional scholar and extremely sane online commentator (online because he can’t seem to hold a steady job as a commentator anywhere else) Keither Olbermann offered this take.
The Supreme Court of the United States has been dismantled.
First, a court has ordered guns to be removed from a particular state.

Going to be very odd if Supreme Court removes a constitutional right for women to get an abortion. It said it should be up to the States, after having just given a constitutional right for concealed firearms carry.

It does not seem to be weird at all, in fact, considering that the Constitution says the right to keep and bear arms “shall not be infringed” but does not say that about the right to an abortion. Some legal experts might suggest that it is because there is no provision in the Constitution that allows for an abortion.
There is a lot of negative reaction to today’s ruling, which was released on the 74th birthday of Clarence Thomas, the author of the opinion. It is likely that Twitter will continue to be a hub of negative reactions for the near future. This especially when you consider the much-anticipated DobbsThe decision to move forward is already in sight.
