I quoted what Kavanaugh wrote, I am not making anything up.
If a cop told you to move your car and you gave him the middle finger while driving away you still complied. The HSC basically just gave the SCOTUS the middle finger but they didn't refuse to enforce the Bruen ruling. The HSC skated around the issue by saying Wilson didn't have standing since he had never applied for the CCW permit. The HSC did make a case for historical tradition, you can try to pick it apart of course but saying they did not is factually incorrect.
1. The order:
- Cop: "Move your car."
- SCOTUS: States must review their anti-gun laws and recent cases. States must reevaluate existing and new laws using the Bruen test for constitutional compliance. SCOTUS reiterated previous SCOTUS rulings that firearm ownership IS an individual right not tied to organized militia membership, and that the right includes carrying firearms outside the home for self protection.
2. The action:
- Driver: Moved car -- i.e.
complied.
- HSC: Made a ruling diametrically opposed to the SCOTUS precedents and Bruen test -- i.e.
did not comply.
3. The result:
- Driver: Complied with the officer's order while also indicating his disagreement (finger) --
a futile and immature sign of defiance while actually complying.
- HSC: Decided the right to keep and bear arms is a right reserved for the state militia,
and that the 2nd amendment is not an individual right, but a collective one (i.e. a right that belongs to the government).
Plainly articulating that any SCOTUS rulings and precedents can be followed or lawfully kicked aside was HI's middle finger to SCOTUS.
Try again.
