I'm surprised they turned them all away.
I'm glad they did.
They just upheld existing case law and the constitution.
The constitution gives the government the right to regulate commerce. Selling and buying a weapon is commerce.
There is no place in the constitution that says the government can't regulate weapons, sales of weapons or weapon permits.
The people have a right to know why people feel the need to carry a concealed or open carry a weapon. I applaud New Jersey for having that law. Telling the state the reason for actions isn't unconstitutional or denying anyone a weapon.
I applaud all states that put proper safety laws and regulations on weapons.
I don't want the states regulating rights.
Who lost their weapon?
No one has taken anyone's right to own a weapon away from them.
Regulating and imposing safety laws isn't taking weapons away from anyone.
The states have the right to regulate rights. It's done all the time. You can't yell fire in a theater.
I'm stopping there.......you are allowed to yell fire in a theater. This may still be one of the most misunderstood rulings still argued.
The ruling about you not being able to do that was a very short lived ruling and was overturned.

Ok but you can't speak and incite a riot.
If you do something that gets someone hurt you can be held liable.
You can't get an abortion in many places without telling why and jumping through a gazillion hoops.
No argument.
If you want to hold a rally on public property you have to tell the government why and fill out a ton of forms.
No you don't. I did it today.

If you want to speak at a public University you have to fill out a ton of forms and tell the government why.
If you want to speak at the university proper you have to get the Universities permission. If it's a private university you have to get their permission anywhere. If it's a public university you can preach until you are content in generally accessed areas.
What makes the second amendment different from other rights?
The answer to that is nothing. Heller ruled just that.
Heller didn't. Again, Heller ruled that they were not necessarily saying there were no restrictions. Heller did not say there was.
Yes the government can and does regulate our rights.
You don't have to like it. I don't like it. We do have to follow the law.
We have to follow the law but what is more important is actually knowing the law.
I know that if anyone wants to hold a rally on public property they must have a permit. If you hold one without it and your area allows it, great.
I've been to many rallies that permits were required on public land.
I specifically sated public university. If you go to use a public university you have to get permission and fill out a ton of forms. Since it's a public university you are dealing with the government. A government agency for those public universities will provide, process the forms and grant you to speak at that public university. Which they always do. It's the students who then speak up and try to prevent it which I think they also have the right to do but it's more effective to allow the speaker but no one show up. So the speaker has spent a bunch of money to speak but no one showed up to listen. That's much more effective than just telling someone you can't go there and speak.
As far as I could see from Heller the government says you have the right to protect yourself in your home and private property. That the government also has the right to regulate weapons. It's right there in the ruling. Plus it's right there in the constitution in the Commerce Clause. There are no exceptions for weapons or anyone's rights.
The Supreme Court refused to hear the case to overturn those laws. Whether you or I like it or not. We live in America. Our constitution says the Supreme Court is the final word. We accept it or we can move.
I've accepted a lot of rulings that I didn't agree with. That's life. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you don't.
I enjoy this win. Hopefully less people will get harmed or killed because of it.
