So now, every state can pick and choose which Rights don't apply to them?

- black voters
- women voters
- abortion on demand

Anyone wish to add to the list?

A Bergen County man has lost his bid to fight the confiscation of his guns and ammunition following a domestic violence arrest and charges that he had high-capacity magazines and hollow-point ammunition.

An appellate decision on Tuesday upheld a Superior Court judge’s earlier ruling that Arthur Vinogradsky was no longer qualified to be a gun owner even though the charges against him were eventually dropped.

The decision acknowledged that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to possess a handgun for the purpose of self-defense. But according to the courts, the Constitution does not trump “states’ enforcement of their ‘longstanding
prohibitions’ on firearm possession,” and “like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited.”

imo the court is wrong on that since the pereson in question was never convicted of a crime, thus his rights were never suspended.

As much as I want to say I am shocked, you are linking about New Jersey. The People's Republic of New Jersey has NO rights. It never will. The Dem leaders destroyed the state decades ago, and there is no possible upside anytime soon.

I escaped years ago....any I pity anyone that doesn't do the same soon.

Camp Nordland was a 204-acre resort facility located in Andover Township, New Jersey. From 1937 to 1941, this site was owned and operated by the German American Bund an organization known for sympathizing and propagandizing for Nazi Germany in the United States. This resort camp was opened by the Bund on 18 July 1937.

In the years before the Second World War, the Bund held events at the facility to encourage pro-German, pro-Nazi values—many of these events attracting over 10,000 visitors. On 18 August 1940, it was the site of a joint rally of with the Ku Klux Klan, organized by Alton Milford Young and Arthur Hornbui Bell.

And I will repeat my almost exact response with a very small [change]:

Cruel and unusual punishment.

Speedy trial.

That pesky 5th amendment.


Time to start locking up criminals in the dungeon and beating confessions out of them. Rights are so overrated.

I'm fine with each state picking and choosing for themselves. I think that it will soon be common for states to give the federal government the finger. We already see with with drugs and illegal immigration. Guns might be next.

I was unser the impression that conservatives championed state's rights. I guess they do, just not as it applies to guns.

Courts have already ruled that you can't take away a person's right to vote based on their race or gender, and Roe v Wade guarantees abortion with some exceptions as we've seen. Comparison fail. If anything, gun rights are regulated similar to how abortion is among the states.
