A year after the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, at an Orlando nightclub, another major shooting—Wednesday’s gunfire that injured a member of Congress—unfolded as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to consider the latest challenge to gun regulations.
The justices on Thursday are scheduled to review the case Peruta v. California, a challenge to restrictions in California against carrying concealed firearms in public. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in June 2016 said there is no Second Amendment protection to such carrying of a gun. |

"[T]he enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table." - Dicta, D.C. v. Heller (2008)
This is not a political question, whereby the Court could punt it back to the state legislatures. It is a CONSTITUTIONAL question that demands resolution.
This is not a time for the Court to go wobbly. It must face the issue head-on. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
