Anti-Gunners Try to Pack Supreme Court, Reverse 2A
Did you need proof that anti-gunners can’t win unless they change the rules?
As it stands today, anti-gun forces occupy both houses of Congress and the Oval Office. There’s just one branch of the government that is not actively trying to remove Americans’ gun rights, and that’s the judiciary. Because former President Donald Trump was able to add three pro-gun justices to the Supreme Court–Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh–the Court currently features four pro-2A justices, four less-enthusiastic justices, and a swing vote. That means that right now, the Court is likely to produce pro-2A rulings.
That’s a problem for anti-gunners.
You see, right now they know they can get anti-gun legislation onto the President’s desk, and they know that he’ll be almost as eager to sign it as he is to sniff random womens’ hair. But they also know that pretty much any Court challenge will put the kibosh on their proposed laws. So, what do you do when the Supreme Court isn’t likely to give you the decisions you want, and the current Justices are all fairly young and unlikely to retire soon?
You add more justices! Right now, Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey, New York Congressmen Jerrold Nadler and Mondaire Jones, and Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson announced the “Judiciary Act of 2021.” Nadler insisted it is not an attempt to “pack” the high court.
Pants on fire!
The Second Amendment Foundation calls “shenanigans.” SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb responded, “That’s a lie, and they know it. Markey, Nadler and their cronies are furious that the Supreme Court now has a majority of justices who are determined to adhere to the Constitution instead of rewriting it from the bench to advance an anti-gun-rights agenda.
“This is,” he added, “an attempt to overturn the Supreme Court’s landmark Heller and McDonald rulings affirming the individual Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Those are gun rights issues that anti-gunners such as Markey and Nadler, and their Capitol Hill cohorts, absolutely do not want the Supreme Court to consider,” Gottlieb said.
…and that’s why they want to change the rules.
“For decades, gun prohibitionists have been fearful that good Second Amendment cases would wind up before a court populated by solid constitutionalists. Now, with the court’s present makeup, those same anti-gunners are terrified of a majority they perceive to be pro-Second Amendment and they’ve introduced this sham legislation in an effort to prevent a ruling that would favor America’s gun owners.
“Frankly,” Gottlieb continued, “it is not simply disappointing but disgraceful that a cadre of anti-gun lawmakers would introduce such a thinly disguised scheme to turn the Supreme Court into a judicial branch of the anti-gun-rights Democratic caucus. Markey’s claim that this is an effort to repair a broken Supreme Court is preposterous. For the first time in decades, the Court is well prepared to handle important constitutional issues, and all the Democrats can think of doing is to seize the court in a legislative power grab.
“If they proceed,” he promised, “we’ll see them—no pun intended—in court.”
As every tyrant from Genghis Khan to Lenin to Hitler to Castro to Mao to Chavez has known – first, you need to disarm the citizenry – Hitler used the German gun register to immediately disarm those who might present an obstacle to him and then (in the absence of the ability to muster an armed resistance) proceeded to murder millions of men, women, and children – make no mistake, the Commicrats have shown themselves to be equally despicable, intolerant, and more than willing to illegally weaponize all arms of the government against those they perceive as “enemies” – Lenin/Stalin-style purges and gulags, no problem for them – Mao-style re-education camps, also no problem – Hitler-style concentration camps for those who fail to kneel to their will and refuse “vaccination” or whatever is next on their list, already been discussed
The thing these politicians don’t realize if you pack the court with horrible sham legislation. You destroy the second amendment and go after law abiding people’s guns . You start the second American civil war.. Angry people took over the Capitol on January 6th with no guns used by the protestors. What do you think millions of angry armed Americans will do if they try that. Good luck!
Maybe the government should do some research on one of the many laws on the books:
“The Dick Act of 1902” also known as the Efficiency of militia bill H.R. 11654 of June 28 1902
The “White Elephants” in the room haven’t been mentioned: We need a unified plan like the Democrats seem to have. It looks to me like their plan is working. Additionally, the Democrat populous are a herd animal and they represent about 50% of our citizens. They are growing in numbers with each new illegal immigrant. And our current Commander in Chief, the Honorable President Biden, (excuse me while I choke on those words) can’t seem to tell the truth, and for all practical purposes seems to be working more for the Chinese than for America and Americans. His “herd animals” will not listening to logic and can’t be talked to in any logical manner. The whole Democrat position is full of double standards, deception, counter-intelligence practices and a list of other problems for freedom loving Americans the future of America.
Velcome comrade to da USSA
Welcome to the republik of amerika comradsky….you will have precious freedom that we tell you to have! You no like you be shot first then tried, everyting fair here.
The anti-gunners and democrats like Jerry Nadler are the reason we have the 2nd amendment. Should they try to abolish it they should immediately feel the wrath of the American populace. I heard Nadler say “It’s not packing the courts. It’s unpacking the courts.”. Well Mr. Nadler it sounds like you have a case of sour grapes. Pack the court and find out what happens to yourself, Marky, Jones and the ever idiotic Hank Johnson.
Jerry Nadless the Hobbit has no grapes at all, sour or otherwise – he’s a neutered pompous twit with a Napoleon complex
Do these morons ever contemplate the reaction of the people when coming up with this psychotic legislation. Do they think that anybody is going to willingly give up their rights, regardless of what the Supreme Court says, or the President signs. Do they think that the Millions of gangbangers are going to turn in their weapons, or the Cartels working in the states, or for that matter the common criminals. Are they going to build Thousands of prisons to house all the newly created criminals, especially when these Woke sociopaths in the squad want to abolish prisons all together. These people really are insane.
Don’t forget these are the same people who want to defund and even remove police as they are today. There won’t be anyone left to enforce these laws except the military or a future national force yet to be identified.
The military is not allowed to enforce these proposed laws as it is also a law that the military cannot operate on US soil, other than National Guardsmen who are called up, and even then they cannot make arrests. Something that is quite concerning is the “deputization” of National Guardsmen such that they do have arrest authority. Regardless, this has not been demonstrated in a manner that could be considered even close to widespread or frequent. Active military is legally not allowed to operate on US soil regardless.
Too many people have a simple and basic misunderstanding about “gun control.” “Gun control” is not now, and has never been, about crime or criminals. Quite frankly, the Left couldn’t give a rat’s behind about crime or criminals. Gun control is, and has always been, about disarming the citizenry so they cannot represent a threat to the government once the Left establishes the dictatorship they have been working toward for well more than half a century and, thanks to the stolen elections of November and January, are now in the process of consolidating. The key word in the term “gun control” is not “gun” – it is “control.” A quick study of basic world history will show that one of the first actions taken by every Communist government upon their takeover was to go to all of the local police stations, get the lists of gun owners, and then go door to door and disarm everyone. That is why the Communists – er, I mean the Democrats – want a national gun registry. Is there really anyone at this point in time who still does not understand this?
The Democrats aren’t for the majority of the people the leaders are for the foreign countries and the illegal immigrants they don’t care about the American people just what money they can still from us like our social security
You cannot “change” or “remove” a “right” that is not “given” by the “govermnemnt”, and the 2nd is a GOD-GIVEN RIGHT and no “MAN” or “government” can remove.. If they try, they will find that the 2nd was written FOR EXACTLY what they will be attempting….TYRANNY. The tree of Liberty will again need to be “watered” just like in 1776.
This is not gun control, but total control over the law biding citizens of this country. Guns don’t kill people, but bad people kill people. I can keep my gun laying on my nightstand and it will never shoot anyone. Unless I was to pick it up to defend my life or my family. What the left is trying to do is to do the same thing Hitler did to the people in Germany during World War Two. That way he has full control over the people in Germany and the world. If the people of this country don’t wake up this country will be the way as Hitler in World War Two. Either impeach the people in government that want the law biding citizens of this country to be disarmed like Germany or fight back before you loose the right to keep and bear arms according to the constitution of the United States of America that is the first and second amendment that gives you freedom of speech and the right to bear arms which shall not be infringed.
They know criminals already don’t obey laws, get their guns illegally, and won’t be affected by background checks, bans, or “no guns” stickers – axiomatically, this is a pure power play at disarming the public to make them easier to control and quell like sheep – it’s what every dictator has done for centuries
We tried to make our voice heard by the election of 2020 and they stole it from us the only way protect our rights before the power grab is complete is take back the capital and Congress hall by force. We are on the verge of never being able to do anything. They stole the election of 2020 and they will continue to win election after election as they will change the rules to maintain their corrupt power May Hod have mercy on their souls and on American
