NINTH U.S. CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS SLASHES SECOND AMENDMENT

By Bob Walsh

MEMORANDUM:
FROM: NINTH U. S. CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
TO: THE CITIZENS AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES
FUCK YOU
HAVE A NICE DAY

The Ninth Circuit is the most liberal, and most overturned, court in the land. Two years ago a panel of judges from that court ruled that the Second Amendment did, in general, give ordinary citizens the right to carry a concealed weapon in public.

Today (06-09) the full court reversed that ruling and said that the Second Amendment does not give a general right to the average citizen to carry a gun and that local issuing agencies, (County Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police) can refuse to issue such a permit pretty much at will.

This arrangement, which was the standard one in California for many years, resulted in such things as the City and County of San Francisco having less than 20 gun permits out, issued pretty much exclusively to politically powerful liberals such as Senator Diane Feinstein. The City of Los Angeles for many, many years refused to issue gun permits to ANYBODY for ANY reason. Orange County issued permits only to people who contributed substantially to the Sheriff’s election campaign.

The original case involved the San Diego County Sheriff who refused to appeal the case. The California Solicitor General then stepped in.

The case will certainly be appealed to the United States Supreme Court. At this stage I would not care to bet which way SCOTUS would vote on the matter. If Hillary is elected it won’t matter because you won’t have the right to even own a handgun so carrying it will be a moot point.

EDITOR’S NOTE: You are right Bob. As I’ve said before, when Hillary becomes President she will have the opportunity to appoint at least two liberal justices to SCOTUS, which will then interpret the Second Amendment to mean that only the military and cops have the right to possess firearms.
