BY A 6-3 DECISION, SCOTUS TOLD CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK TO FLY A KITE

Today SCOTUS, by a vote of 6-3, decided that the Second Amendment is NOT a second-class amendment and should be treated as all the other parts of the constitution are.  (Justice Breyer, who is on his way out the door, wrote a 135 page dissent.)

Specifically the court ruled in the case of the New York Gun Club that the New York state law requiring that carry permit holders must demonstrate some special need to carry a gun legally in public is in fact unconstitutional.  

The law will primarily effect seven states, including New York, California and Hawaii.  All have particularly restrictive policies in many areas.  (It should be noted that in many of the cow counties in California and in much of upstate New York it isn't that hard to get a permit, though in New York you have to have a permit from New York CITY to carry within the city.)

The New York Governor is already screaming like a mashed cat.  I am confident the God-Emperor of California will follow suit as soon as he gets his hair done.
