The Democratic Communist Party is at the center of lack security in this country. They are the ones turning criminals, murderers, back out on the street by releasing them, or shortening their sentences. It is almost like they want main stream citizens killed. They are also opening up our borders for the cartel to bring in mass amounts of Fentenal that is killing 70,000+ people a year. Guaranteed that we will be at least 160,000 serious criminals across our border, if we let in 2 million unchecked illegals across the border. That IS the ratio of criminals to population of about 8%. Add the cartel in and it moves up to 15 – 20 %. Open borders for human trafficking. It is really hard to convince me that Biden and Hunter are just members of an international mafia trying to take down America with their policies. They ARE the coup that they tried to blame on Trump. They should not be looking at Supreme Court on ruling on self-defence, and conceal carry. They should be looking in the mirror. They have the revolving door for murderers, rapist, robbers, and drug pushers putting them back out on the street. There in lies danger. Even when police were funded they did not show up to help when needed. Maybe hours later, or in my case two days later. There is no functional government agency to protect individuals from harm. Thus the need for guns at home, or conceal carry. The government is at the core of lack of protection for it's citizens. So we have to handle it ourselves to be safe.
no more mass shooting only in gun free zones watch shooter dont want to be shot
How many babies have they killed because they couldn’t close their legs?
Not an expert more like an idiot.
Since the Supreme Court has struck down NY law and declared that laws should be based on consistency with historical precedent, then the obvious precedent is; when the second amendment was written, there was no such thing as repeating firearms, or semi-auto or automatic firearms. So let's stick with historical precedent. Everybody gets to carry firearms that comply with weapons available when the Constitution was written. Single fire weapons, without rifling, no semi-auto or automatic weapons. HISTORICAL CONSISTENCY.
Why do you folks think that just because the last 7 States will allow law abiding citizens to arm themselves means there's going to be mass chaos? You do know that the criminals are the ones that does these haynes crimes right? There's no mass chaos in the other 43 States that already has Concealed carry.
The best way to prevent gun violence is to have equal parity with those who use guns in the wrong manner. That means citizens who carry can defend themselves against harm by having a firearm as an equalizer. The media never reports on incidents where someone carrying has prevented mass shootings etc. This happens all the time! If the teachers at the schools that had mass killings would have been trained and armed they could have saved countless lives. These so-called constitutional attorneys that are hired by ABC and others are biased, obviously. The mainstream media in general are controlled puppets of the state. They have an agenda to negate the constitution and the bill of rights! All they can do is whine and cry about decisions that don't go their way, yet they are constantly talking about the rule of law! Truth be known you don't even need a constitution to have the right to defend yourself, because natural law gives you that right. Every person is sovereign and has the right to defend him or her self with what ever means they chose. The constitution was framed after that natural law right. People want other's to provide their security, but ask the parents of the kids at ulvade if their kids were provided security while the police waited 70 minutes before going in, and when they finally did, it was to late because someone decided to do their job for them! To all the people that don't have the sense to reason this out I say. "suck it up and get over it."
loathsome left vs righteous right WINNING!
More msm BS. Arms restrictions are, stem from RACISM.
Shame on Maxine for encouraging violence

God is Pro-Life
this only affects non rich, non well connected, non celebrities, non politicians, non family members of the state getting guns, so now a mother who walks home at night through the bronx can carry for self defense
I would have liked to hear more specific details about expanded gun rights.
I can see a shortage of tissue ahead with all the liberal tears that will flow over this. 😂
STATUTES are not withstanding (Antone Scalia)
nor is the opinion of an actor in a democracy which has nothing to do with
People or mankind!
There are 33 ratified states within our Republic which are unaffected by SCOTUS!
We The People are self-governed and need no opinion of a communist/BAR associate.
Expert my ass. Gun rights weren't expanded, they've been restored.
Pretty-looking Elizabeth didn't answer the question as to a "2nd class right." Typical liberal who supports banning all gun ownership!
ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ👠our 2A . Hard work pays off . We will fight you liberal scums to the end . Liberty or death ☠ï¸ÂÂ☠ï¸ÂÂ☠ï¸ÂÂ☠ï¸ÂÂ. Get the picture ?? Now the movement has begun . Brace for severe impacts !!!!
The woman in red wins! She is possibly the dumbest person to ever speak on the subject of the second amendment. She’s also another leftist scumbag liar who implies that young people are dying at a higher rate due to being shot by others. She intentionally omits that a significant number of those are suicides.
Elizabeth Wydra works for CAC which is a progressive think tank full of lawyers. She should understand that the decision was not an expansion of 2A rights but simply a restoration of those rights.
From the CAC website:
"CAC is working in the courts, with elected leaders, and with legal scholars to preserve the rights and freedoms of all in America, and to protect the integrity of our judiciary."
I would question whether or not she actually understands the phrase " Shall Not Be Infringed". It is possible that she is in a position not to show favor to either side of the discussion, but by using the word expansion twice I find that unlikely. If the goal of CAC is to truly preserve the rights and freedoms of all in America, I would have expected Miss Wydra to word her commentary a little differently.
Bo Jiden keeps winning and you rac1$t dem o k k k r a t z keep losing
Looks like Scotus is the only one who still uphold the law in the constitution..
Yes…. REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Barbarian Nation
I wonder why YouTube removed the dislike counter. Almost like they were TERRIFIED.
As usual, the anti 2nd amendment peeps are whining…this is not an expansion! The bad guys are the only ones who should be worried about this. Now the playing field has been leveled. Bad guys don't follow rules and laws and they will always arm themselves with illegally gotten weapons obtained in the black market. They don't go thru background checks like law-abiding citizens. Geez luiz.. journalism is dead. Biased beyond belief.
Imagine being a cOnStItUtIoNaL eXpErT and being this clueless about the Constitution.
You do know a criminal is and has always carried a weapon concealed right? So why can't a lawful citizen carry a weapon concealed? I guess I'm confused as who you really don't want carrying a concealed weapon? The criminal is going to carrying a weapon concealed no matter what you say.
She is a constitutional expert? She may want to read it for the first time.
Now they need to ban hammers…
Ban Hammers…According to the FBI crime report from 2020, hammers are involved in over 600 deaths a year as compared to AR15's and AK47's COMPINED at just over 200. So then, the question is why aren't lawmakers and Journalist working to keep the criminals off the streets!!! and WHY is NO ONE advocating Good Parenting? Wack-Job parents raising Mentally Ill Criminal kids! Research Klebold and Harris, The Columbine Shooters! Bad Parenting. And, as a matter of fact, research ALL the school/Mass shooters parents!!!
MORE BS from EXPERTS!
THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS IS ABSOLUTE regardless what the SCOTUS THINKS!
Now! Watch the crime rate go down.
The day I can sail my own nuke sub with war heads legally I'll say that's an expansion of the 2nd. Otherwise not.
Love how media continues to imply that the law abiding and permit holding population are the ones randomly killing people on the regular.
ABC News… has a Constitutional expert on knows NOTHING about the Constitution 😂🤣😂
She talks about gun violence prevention, (as Justice Alito pointed out) when a mass shooting just happened in N.Y. with these strick gun laws.
Slavery also existed for a century.
China bans guns. Very safe there, so long as you keep your mouth shut.
The woman in red is clueless! This just affirmed the law, it didn’t expand the law! She doesn’t understand, “shall not be infringed “
