SCOTUS ruling prevents states from addressing gun violence: Breyer

Justice Stephen Breyer invoked the nation’s latest gun violence massacres, including those in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York, in his dissent against the Supreme Court’s ruling to expand the Second Amendment on Thursday.

The 6-3 ruling struck down a New York state gun law that regulates the right to concealed carry, making this the most significant case regarding the Second Amendment since a 2010 decision to dismantle a nearly 30-year ban on handgun ownership in Chicago.

The decision comes as the country grapples with daily gun violence across the nation, and as investigations into the massacres at Uvalde and Buffalo are still underway.

Breyer argued that the court's decision was made based on pleadings, rather than with “the benefit of discovery or an evidentiary record.”

Remember when they accused Democrats of activist judges? Every allegation is a confession.

While they weakened it, no state was ever allowed to outright ban it.

Liberal federal judges may also strike it down, since they are legally bound to defend it.
