Truth. To think these folks can carry guns when they may be feeling so otherwise disempowered is shocking. Some on SCOTUS are tools for the far right — Cavanaugh, Barrett, Thomas — and will let folks kill each other on the streets over Second Amendment misinterpretations while women die of back room abortions and unwanted babies are born into a world that loves the fetus (control of women) and hates the baby, the mama, and the older person, unless, here anyway, they are white, rich, and likely to vote Republican.

There was a horrible meme on LinkedIn yesterday. It was an older “equity vs equality” meme that had been altered to show equality as being when everyone’s legs are cut off. It was bloody and horrible and unsettling and likely another stooge ready to do anything to save the White man’s “‘murica” out of fear of being “replaced” and shown to be the selfish, cruel, terrified “men behind the curtain” so many are. Not saying all. But some.

Peace.

New York State should refuse to comply with the Supreme Court ruling concerning guns.

I can't get over the Supreme Court's horrendous decision. Why is the Second Amendment more important than other rights granted to us?

Why is this the interpretation of the Second Amendment? I do not see this? Where is the militia? If you are in the military, the national guard, and something else I can see being armed. Many militia's are illegal. Should illegal militia's be armed? I think someone should take that question to court and really tease that apart in the second amendment.

Still, everyone who carries guns is wondering why they have to put their guns away to go into court? The hypocrisy is so bothersome, but that is what these conservatives are characterized by!

Your first thought really got me. Terrifying. Self-pitying, aggrieved people with guns.
