SCOTUS Justice Kavanaugh Criticizes Placing 2A Rights at Police Discretion

[Revmitchell]

You don’t have to say, when you’re looking for a permit to speak on a street corner or whatever, that, you know, your speech is particularly important. So why do you have to show in this case, convince somebody, that you’re entitled to exercise your Second Amendment right?

Justice Kavanaugh focused on how the “proper cause” requirement puts carry applicants in a position where their ability to carry a gun depends on their success in persuading an officer to allow it.

USA Today quoted Kavanaugh saying, “That’s the real concern, isn’t it, with any constitutional right. If it’s (at) the discretion of an individual officer, that seems inconsistent with an objective constitutional right.”

Kavanaugh also asked, “Why isn’t it good enough to say, ‘I live in a violent area, and I want to defend myself?’”

Second Amendment right

allowing any human being the "right" to own a firearm which can be used to murder others, is complete madness! Nor should any born-again Christian own a gun!

Isaiah 2:4, "He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore"

Micah 4:3, "He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide for strong nations far away; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore"

Matthew 26:52, "Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword"

2 Corinthians 10:4, "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds"

Ephesians 6:12, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places"

Just dropped by a sec, you know to see what the peeps here are sayin, ...and I must say, this was almost unbelievable and pretty entertaining to read.

And loved Kavanaugh's logical argument BTW, lots of respect for the man.

On gun violence, the United States is an outlier
