If there is one group that the mainstream legacy media hates, it’s the National Rifle Association. The NRA gets blamed for any kind of gun violence or gun crime. The NRA is the scapegoat that anti-2A zealots think is the root cause of everything that they think is wrong in the world. And whether you like the NRA or not, the media and anti-2A politicians tend to characterize the NRA as being representative of gun owners in America in general.
Which is why you’re not very likely to find today’s story reported in many other places than what you’re reading here.
Why is that? It’s because the NRA got a big win against one of the worst offenders against Second Amendment rights: the State of New York. Andrew Chapados writes,
A New York judge has ordered the state of New York to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to the National Rifle Association after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the gun advocacy group regarding open carry of firearms.
The NRA was a party to the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, a battle over a state law requiring applicants for unrestricted concealed-carry licenses in New York to demonstrate a special need for self-defense. The simple desire for personal protection or protection of one’s property was reportedly not reason enough.
The Supreme Court ruled in 2022 that the law “violated the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense,” Oyez.org reported.
As a result, New York was ordered to pay $446,700.82 in legal fees to the NRA, according to Fox News.
Now, let’s be frank. With all of the vitriol and harassment that the anti-2A zealots in the government of the State of New York have thrown at the NRA, this doesn’t begin to compensate the NRA for the unjust treatment that they’ve had from that state.
But every victory for gun rights is a good thing and a step in the right direction, so, we’ll take it.
How refreshing to see logic and reason prevail in the dark days we find the world facing!
Now if NYS is forced to rescind all the other anti-gun laws they have put thru, and concentrated instead on catching bad guys, it would be nice. California next.
The way the left has screwed up police departments across the country, put George Soros bought DA’s in place AND let crime run ramped, and sissified our military, I think everyone the age 18 and up that is sane, not on drugs and has a clean police record, should be able to get free firearm training and acquire a CCW permit . The more good people that know how to handle a firearm and carries every day, every where, makes the country safer. The good guys out number the bad by a huge percentage. Plus the way the government has screwed up the military with the left’s woke ideas, CRT, cross dressing and trans crap, places like China and Russia are just drooling for a shot at invading our homeland. Which means that we the citizens, will probably have to defend OUR country to some degree, along side the new woke military that’s wearing a uniform and/or dresses and makeup. We need all the fire power we can get in this day and age, and legalized silencers for ALL too !!
