Here is a transcript of today's oral arguments in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
Incredible how fast they typed this and kept up.
It's on Twitter but you don't need a Twitter account to read it.
- Hunting permits was a major part of of it one of the SCOTUS justices said, "How many muggings happen in the woods?"
- They talked about subways and transit being sensitive places where you shouldn't be able to carry a gun because of the large number of people but no one said, "Because of all the dangerous assaults, muggings, and murders, on subways and other modes of public transportation, they should precisely be where citizens are allowed to carry their weapons for self-defense."
*** One big takeaway is that no matter how narrow the scope of the decision may be if it is a 2nd Amendment win pertaining to granting permits it means that the 2nd Amendment does enshrine the right to carry weapons outside of the home and that is huge!
So many courts have said because of Heller the 2nd Amendment only pertains to possessing/carrying guns inside the home.
You can read this on a computer or cellphone.
