Supreme Court overturns NY state anti-gun law. Democrat **shrieking** with anger!!!!

New York has had a law that said if you wanted to carry a gun, you had to ask the State for permission.  And you could only get the state's permission if you could credibly claim to have received credible death threats.

Result?  New York state issued virtually no licenses to carry.

Today the Supreme Court issued a decision overturning NY's law.  The main argument was that no other right requires additional permission from the state to exercise.

First, regardless of whether the Constitution permits exercise of other rights without state permission, states and cities have imposed laws saying you have to get state or city permission to freely assemble.  It's called a "parade permit."  It's gotten rooted because no one had the balls to shoot the first son of a bitch who demanded it.  But I digress...
 
Leftists claim guns are bad.  Of course the top leftist strategists don't actually believe that--any laws they write will ensure *they* have guns, just not you--but their useful idiots believe it, SO...they don't care if any proposed anti-gun law will actually reduce crime.

Instead, they see any law that makes it harder for citizens to own effective weapons as a Good Thing, even if it doesn't reduce crime.  Reason is that by a series of small nibbles, they want to disarm law-abiding citizens, to render them unable to defend themselves against either thugs or the government.

If you're skeptical, try asking a Democrat pol this basic question, "How, exactly, would your proposed gun-control law prevent the crime that just happened--the one you say you're proposing this gun law will prevent?"

They can't give a cogent answer--because the real purpose of so-called "gun-control laws" is NOT about stopping gun crime; it's about ending civilian ownership of guns by law-abiding citizens.
