    My simple thoughts go something like this.

    The COTUS is the contract that gives the Govt any power at all. If the govt violates the COTUS, it terminates the contract, ends it own legitimate existence, and no one is morally obligated to obey it ever again.

    It’s a smug question. How’d that work out in Afghanistan? Do you believe every Apache and A-10 pilot/crew will all be on the side of tyrants? Do you think soldiers will all be willing to shoot their neighbors?

    The Blue helmets for the win! The UN has been pushing ciizen disarmament all over the planet, and the Dems are all for the UN Arms Treaty.

    Something to remember: the 7.62 Tokarev will blow through both sides of a blue helmet, as well as whatever's inside it. Just saying.

    We knew this when they went en banc in Peruta, to say there was no constitutional right for concealed carry.

    Young was looking good until the 9th went en banc again. To say the same thing for open carry.

    The SCOTUS will hopefully step in and say some form of carry is covered by the word "bear".

    That’s my expectation. That said, my expectations have been shattered before.

    But I can’t see the current SCOTUS either passing judgement that the state can’t put some restrictions or preconditions on carrying outside the home. But also I don’t see them letting lower courts rulings stand that the state can, if they want, effectively ban the carrying of a firearm outside the home. Either entirely or only for the most privileged.

    Not that anyone here needs the reminder, but HI bans open carry except under extraordinarily strict circumstances (more so than Maryland as you cannot openly carry a long gun except at a range or hunting basically). And concealed carry permits can be issued. However no one has met the standard to be issued one in years if memory serves.

    I can see SCOTUS say a state can put “reasonable” conditions on where you can carry and even preconditions to licensing to do it. But I don’t see needing to justify it (may issue) being allowed for both open and concealed carry.

    The more I think about it, they simply rewrote Peruta and changed concealed weapons to simply any weapon. Now that they proclaimed that
    It remains as true today as it was centuries ago, that the mere presence of such
    weapons [handguns] presents a terror to the public
    I would file a lawsuit against every police dept because they obviously terrorize the public by the presence of their handguns.

    I went back and looked at Peruta. It is a little hard to follow, but it appears that the Court imposed this argument without the defendants really raising the issue.

    So, you're saying the court itself stacked the deck against the plantiffs?

    Sort of. I think the Peruta/Richards team did a disservice by not putting the historical concealed carry precedent into perspective given that it is explicitly mentioned in Heller. I don't believe they really challenged the precedent after the Court ambushed them either. I think Young did a mediocre job of responding to a newly introduced argument. I think the Court took advantage of the weaknesses to write a very lopsided opinion.

    We are already there....

    Not really.

    Arguably, we have opposing view points. What has be lost is for each party to respect the view of the other.

    We are not at the point where both parties see each other as enemies. We are approaching the point quickly, if society can't respect each other's opinions.

    Sounds fine in theory. In practice, the GOV can just keep escalating force until they ultimately prevail. Have anything in your safe that works against an A-10 or Apache?

    You don't need to take out the A-10s and Apaches... or aircraft carriers for that matter. You need to take out the the incredibly fragile individuals that make up the command chain that puts those machines into action. Not advocating, just saying.

    We are absolutely at the point where both parties see each other as enemies and neither respects the other's opinions.

    We absolutely are.

    Recent polling shows democrats chief concern was people whom voted for Trump.

    Not a policy or proposal or idea.

    No their chief concern was the PEOPLE who voted for Trump.

    Wow, I'm not sure if a single one of those "issues" makes my list at all. Definitely not in the top 10 or even 20. Yet I still refuse to believe I'm the one that lives in my own little bizarro world.
