Official 930 Supreme Court thread

Yes States run re-elections but this case is whether or not State Legislatures can do an end run around that States Courts…

i guess a scenario would be… Further restrictions would be placed by a State Legislature that is QOP controlled, but that state's courts lean liberal.. by this doctrine no one could bring a lawsuit in that State Court to challenge that restriction

shit is complicated and it makes my head hurt, but it's yet another minority rule fever dream likely rubberstamped by the current court…

What's he thinking with this one?

That no one will notice

You have to give a little to get anything
They are not honest brokers is the issue

This what I was referring to as rapidly spreading misinformation about Biden. Apparently, whom ever made this initial report has walked this back. But, it didn't stop any of a number of outlets to post sensational click bait headlines about the story..  it's all about the clicks without doing the due diligence on a story.

This is an absurd request, especially after the football coach decision on first amendment rights:

Hogan goes full Republican….

"In light of a recent Supreme Court ruling and to ensure compliance with the Constitution, I am directing the Maryland State Police to suspend utilization of the ‘good and substantial reason’ standard when reviewing applications for Wear and Carry Permits."

so much fuckery because of a poor written statement.. as someone pointed it's virtually impossible to update the US constitution, like other developed democracies..

so I think a 'reason' for owning the gun is a weird thing and I don't think that has to be a part of why you are getting a gun

Background checks and red flag laws yes, but a 'reason' just seems silly and I'm sure all you need to say is "for protection'

i can assure you this is a uniquely american point of view.  in every other western country i'm aware of, you can't just buy a high-powered gun - especially handguns - without providing a valid reason.  "personal protection", without being able to identify a specific threat, doesn't cut it. 

for folks from other countries, it's bewildering how normalized gun ownership is in the US.  but here we are.

well I get that…but we are discussing how we do things in the US, so doesn't really matter what they do in Siam

also try as we might, I think putting the genie back in the bottle is impossible

we need to focus on getting some gun safety laws passed and not dither on the fringes of what would be the 'perfect solution'

of all the things we are going to parse, that people have to put a 'reason' seems like the most useless one out there

This may be the stupidest thing I've read on this board.

Other countries are case studies on what works and what doesn't. American exceptionalism doesn't apply. We're doing it wrong here.

I mean, makes a great bumper sticker for your prius, but can we work in reality of what actually exists here in the US
personally I think the take that 'they don't do it in any other county' is kind of a stupid take when you think of how the majority of americans think and vote
I mean, that take really got Universal Heath Care passed, whew

Lets be clear, I fucking hate guns and IMO think they pretty much should be outlawed in the US…but I know that's about as likely as me getting laid by a purple unicorn, so I work in reality

this is the MOST minor thing when it comes to gun safety in the US (the reason someone puts on a form, jez talk about something that does nothing)

Things like you need labiality insurance for every gun you own
Red flag laws
Restriction on age (wouldn't have helped in Highland sadly)
Gun show/private sales…pretty much illegal
While I agree a hand gun is a high powered killing machine, I think we need to start at the AR-class of weapons, they are overwhelmingly used in mass shootings
can't have bazookas or tanks, why should you have this class of weapon, period

will that solve all the problems, no
but almost everyone of these shootings were done with weapons purchased legally…and to me that is where the change has to happen

quote 1 + quote 2 + some wishful thinking = maybe this is hogan's way of showing that MD will do "something", but which is in fact nothing.  they didn't care about the reason before, and now they won't care about it in keeping with the SC ruling - but nothing actually changes.  i'll take off my rose-colored glasses now…

Pot, porn, video games, SSRIs, too many doors, too few doors, a locked door, an unlocked door, his father’s uncle’s mother’s cat that bit him once, New Coke, Tide pods, the last season of Game of Thrones… they’ll blame motherfucking Caillou before they ever, ever blame the guns.

^ excellent.  i've been wanting to do the same.  muslims need to get on this program too.  let's see how long this "religious freedom" lasts.

so this happened yesterday
President Biden just announced that Medicare facilities will be required to perform abortions that save the mother’s life *regardless of state law*
Seems like a pretty big deal
I mean their are Medicare Facilities all over the US, so these states…will they be able to block this?
I assume this will probably make it to the SCOTUS as some red staters must be losing their shit over this

I thought the reservations was a good idea, but honestly they are typically in remote hard to get to places, so didn't seem that helpful for most in red states


Just read this too
@ArielKelley
This also includes hospitals that take Medicaid.
but the key takeaway is this is only in Emergency circumstances
that's still a pretty big deal as in some of these states it's getting crazy

I have been saying he needs to explore what he can do be CMS fiat since the decision first leaked.

This is, of course, (at best) a thing that will get turned on and off with every change in administration.
