EnjoyLife Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I read that from 1791-2008 the SC never struck down as un-constitutional any gun control law at any level. If that is accurate I wonder what has changed? Was the SC wrong for 200+ years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is accurate I wonder what has changed? Was the SC wrong for 200+ years? Do you agree with the premise that one needs a good reason (i.e. "proper cause") to own/carry a firearm? And if so, what constitutes a "proper cause"? You can think he's making it up, or not, but I recently saw a video where Ben Shapiro said he tried to get a gun in California because of legitimate death threats, presented tons of evidence of said threats, and was still denied under California's "proper cause" restriction. Because, he was told, he could simply call the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That is why I have never advocated for new gun control laws. Would this country be better off if there were far fewer guns in circulation...yes imo...but with 400,000,000 guns out there it is to late for that and dis-arming law abiding gun owners (like myself) will not stop criminals from doing what they do.

THAT, if one reads the opinion, is what SCOTUS struck down. That, and they allowed for Conceal Carry in public, not just to allow someone to have a gun ONLY in their home.
