I saw this clip from CNN, reposted by the Washington Examiner.

Wait, what?  Did the Supreme Court take up a concealed carry case?

No, no they didn’t.  Not really.  This has to do with the New York City premises gun licenses.

The New York case concerned people who have licenses to possess guns at home, known as “premises” licenses, and already are allowed to take unloaded guns to shooting ranges within New York City. The plaintiffs said the city’s rules forbidding them from taking their guns to ranges or other homes outside city limits amounted to a “draconian” transport ban in violation of the Second Amendment.

Premises licenses are different from “carry” licenses, which give holders broader freedom to take guns outside the home and are not at issue in the case.

Theoretically, the court could pull a Roe v. Wade and legislate from the bench, essentially go all Moore v. Madigan on New York and force them to adopt some sort of shall-issue concealed carry.  That would be awesome but would be highly unlikely.

But you can see why CNN and Senator Murphy’s serious misstatement of what the court decision entails got my hopes up.

What is amazing about this clip is just how wrong a news anchor and a US Senator can be in whole 98 seconds.

Forgive me if I don’t think that a Progressive Democratic Senator from Connecticut has any idea what our Founding Fathers thought about gun rights.

The words are very clear:

the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

I don’t know how to make that any clearer.

Then again, when I read:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech

I don’t get forcing nuns to pay for abortions or banning hate speech out of those words the way Democrats do.

I’m pretty sure our Founding Fathers would have preferred gun laws circa 1933 where you can have a machine gun delivered to your door out of the Sears catalog than what Connecticut has now.

Lastly, semi-auto AK-47s only in Iraq and Afghanistan?

There was so much bullshit in that clip that AOC would have it banned by the Green New Deal.
