Long Ago a Chief Justice Agreed That Citizens Had the Right to Go About Armed

[excalibur]

Indeed, it was Chief Justice Taney in Dred Scott who admitted to this fact.

See page 58 of Bruen at the below link.

Writing for the Court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 19 How. 393 (1857), Chief Justice Taney offered what he thought was a parade of horribles that would result from recognizing that free blacks were citizens of the United States. If blacks were citizens, Taney fretted, they would be entitled to the privileges and immunities of citizens, including the right “to keep and carry arms wherever they went.” Id., at 417 (emphasis added). Thus, even Chief Justice Taney recognized (albeit unenthusiastically in the case of blacks) that public carry was a component of the right to keep and bear arms—a right free blacks were often denied in antebellum America.​

Does this mean now everyone has to buy a scrap press and a shield where's written ("no weapons!")?

It was Democrats who pushed the now overturned New York law.

The Acting NJ AG has told his people:

• ensure that an applicant is not subject to any of the disabilities that by law would prevent them from obtaining a permit to purchase a handgun or firearms purchaser identification card;
• conduct a background check to confirm that the applicant is qualified to carry a handgun, including by ensuring that the application is, among other things, endorsed by three reputable people who have known the applicant for at least three years and can verify that the applicant is a person of good moral character and behavior; and
• ensure that an applicant has demonstrated that they are thoroughly familiar with the safe handling and use of handguns.

So roadblocks and several of these are likely to come under strong judicial scrutiny quite soon, particularly the BS about an endorsed application by three reputable people.

Her didn't say "Constitutional right".

States and localities mandated that right individually

Sucks when you have to go back over 150 years to a blatant racist to cover your argument...and then do it so lamely
