That's called legislating from the bench. Judges are supposed to only interpret the constitution but over the decades they've done much more... making decisions based on political bias not to mention in the case of this old necroed post, inaccurate factual information... the idea that allowing law abiding citizens to carry guns will make things less safe, which is false.
Precedence Law v. Constitutional Law.
They are very different.
Give Goonvernment and inch, they will take a mile.......better get some good
insider-vibes going if you want anything like a CWP from Goonvernment, especially
in California.
Just like if you want to start a specific business, you best get a property that is expressly zoned for that purpose. You get a property that requires you to get a
conditional-use-permit, you will have to brown-nose the people in city-hall
every year or two to get that CUP renewed.......after begging, pleading and
kissing a lot of butt, you are at the mercy of Goonvernment.
One thing I really like about California is you never see idiots with guns hanging off of their belts.
Many of the "open carry" people do it because a) it compensates for their feelings of inferiority, or b) they have a hero complex. Unless you're out hunting, at the gun range, or working on a ranch, you don't need open carry. No need to walk through Home Depot with a rifle over your shoulder. It's stupid.
SCOTUS will side with Govt...they are part of the Govt.
Heck, the court itself is FEDERAL GOVT PROPERTY!! LOL
What i really want to know is when and how citizens thought the Constitution needed to be interpreted?
The Constitution gets interpreted when two parties disagree with the meaning of something in the document. The Constitution itself says that the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of what the meaning is. You, and I, agree that the 2nd Amendment is a personal right, as evidence by "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". The Legislature passes a law restricting the carry of arms based on the "well regulated militia" clause. That is going to go to court to determine whose interpretation is correct.

Its a conflict of interest though...the Supreme Court justices are appointed by politicians/presidents, their salaries are paid by Govt, the court itself is govt property.
How can they be impartial when they are part of the Govt itself?
Especially in the case of gun laws and the 2nd Amendment, its in the courts interest to favor/protect the Govt.
Look at it this way...lets say I filed a lawsuit against Toyota....but the judge was paid by Toyota, Toyota appointed the judge and the court was on Toyota property...who do you think the court will side with? LOL
Thankfully we live in Louisiana. They're doing away with permits for concealed carry.
A win for us.
It's gonna be a helluva party in NOLA with permit-less concealed carry. The bangers can't even be brought in for questioning when found to be packing.
