Local Appeals court: No Second Amendment right to carry concealed firearms in public

A federal appeals court has temporarily suspended a lower court ruling that cast doubt on the constitutionality of a key provision of the District’s gun-control law. In a split decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit said that there “is no Second Amendment right for members of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public.”

Not surprising coming from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

LOS ANGELES — A federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled Thursday that the Second Amendment of the Constitution does not guarantee the right of gun owners to carry concealed weapons in public places, upholding a California law that imposes stringent conditions on who may be granted a concealed-carry permit.

This is why it's so important to get loyal Americans elected: those who have no respect for the law will appoint judges who have no respect for it.  The coming election is a fight over the soul of America; I don't think the Republic can survive another four or eight years of a traitor in the White House.

What do they think the phrase bear arms means?  And how about this one: shall not be infringed?  Those are pretty clear, and there is no ambiguity in them.  Concealed is the way citizens typically bear arms during peacetime.  To make an edict taking away our right to do that is to infringe on our Constitutional right to bear arms. 

This right is reinforced by the right to privacy that is generally believed to be implied in the Constitution (and which liberals talk about as though it's written in stone): if there is a right to bear arms, which there is, and a right to privacy, there is a right to bear arms in a way that those around you don't know you're doing it.

Decisions like this are a dagger thrust into the heart of the Constitution.  Our free republic will not survive attacks of this kind if they are allowed to continue unchecked.  And those who think this kind of infringement will be limited to only the Second Amendment are living in a fantasy world.

These phony judges belong in jail, along with the traitors who placed them on the bench.
