The U.S. Supreme Court has decided to not hear cases based on the 2nd amendment. This is a huge blow to American’s. Here are the details so far…
From CNN:
The Supreme Court declined Monday to take up a constitutional challenge to a Connecticut gun law passed in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
The law bans certain semi-automatic assault weapons and large capacity magazines.
Although the decision comes days after the Orlando shooting, that event probably didn’t move the justices either way. In recent years the Court has declined to take up a major Second Amendment case. In 2008, 5-4 Supreme Court held in District of Columbia v Heller that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to bear arms, and except for a follow up decision two years later, the court has not weighed in again.
Unfortunately, our government has given up on the concept of the separation of powers and has handed the Supreme Court so much authority, that they are legislating from the bench.
Since they possess that power, whenever they decide not to hear a case like this, it allows the continued violation of someone’s constitutional rights.
