Yesterday while the United State Senate was busy trying to pass a fairly useless "gun control" measure, the first attempt by Congress to rein in guns in almost thirty years, the United States Supreme Court was announcing a decision aimed at putting even more guns onto America's streets. The Supreme Court voted 6-3 along ideological lines to overturn a century-old New York State law which said people applying for a permit to carry a gun must demonstrate a reason for their request.
No reason necessary, sayeth the Court. When God wrote the Second Amendment He really wasn't thinking about muskets and "well regulated" militias. His intention was that every drug-addled, toothless hillbilly with the IQ of a houseplant should have as much high-powered weaponry as he damned well pleases - and to hell with public safety.
Of course the Supreme Court justices don't want Billy Joe Bob and Bubba exercising their god-given rights to be armed to their meth teeth anywhere near where the justices actually live and work. Those supreme hypocrites think the government has some sort of inalienable responsibility protect them and their families from the miscreants whom they helped arm and loose on civilization.
The guns are our problem. We are the moving targets, and our children and grandchildren are the sitting ducks. But the Supreme Court is special. Justices can't be bothered with things like active-shooter drills, wearing bullet-proof robes and backpacks, and hiding under their desks. They deserve the comfort of knowing that they have first-class security details funded by that American taxpayers.
The justices of the United States Supreme Court are the primary force turning America into a dystopian hellscape, and if we have to live and function in a shooting gallery, they should, too! Let them pay for their own damned security - and if Clarence and Ginni have to learn to tuck-and-roll to get from the garage to the house in the evenings, well, I guess that's just the price of freedom!
Yesterday the Supreme Court told the states that they have very limited powers (if any) to regulate guns in society. Today, as I was typing this blog post, the same Court officially overturned fifty years of legal precedent with Roe v. Wade and gave those same states sweeping powers to regulate the bodies of their female residents. The Supreme Court of the United States has ceased to be an impartial abrbiter of justice and now is little more than a national Pez dispenser of angry right-wing ideology.
It is really not worth protecting.
