The United States Supreme Court has become an epicenter of disappointment for Americans seeking to restore and defend Second Amendment rights stolen from us by the very government our Founders predicted and tried to protect us from when drafting the Constitution. Monday came and went without exception, as Justices once again informed the public that they would not defend gun rights by denying certiorari in Viramontes v. Cook County, an Illinois-based challenge to a county-wide prohibition on the possession, acquisition, and transfer of a variety of firearms, including specific semiautomatic rifles like the AR-15.
Known as the Blair Holt Assault Weapons Ban, one might correctly ascertain that the law was enacted to prey upon the emotions of an injured community against its own liberty and better judgment in the wake of the 2007 shooting of 16-year-old Blair Holt on a CTA bus. There’s something more sinister going on here, however, with Illinois’ own Rahm Emanuel demonstrating it best with his 2008 quote, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Thanks, scumbag.
It looks like Cook “Comrade” County got the message, as performing the old progressive two-step on the corpses of murdered children has been a fan favorite of leftists seeking to disarm the nation and do their part in the subjugation of America.
Cutberto Viramontes, joined by gun advocacy groups Second Amendment Foundation and the Firearms Policy Coalition, filed a lawsuit arguing that the ban violates the Second Amendment. The challenge also asserts that the firearms in question are protected under Heller and Bruen as they are in “common use” for lawful purposes across America. Ultimately, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals did what it does best, which is to say that it ignored the plain text of the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent in favor of the circuit’s own corrupt decision in Bevis v. City of Naperville, which concluded that AR-15s fell outside the scope of Second Amendment protection.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a dissent in Bevis, establishing precedent for Viramontes and signaling his belief that the Court should review such Second Amendment challenges; however, it seems those “impeccable” Supreme Court nominations from President Trump’s first term in office have something different in mind. Let that sit with you.
Earlier this summer, Justice Brett Kavanaugh did his best feckless coward impression when he made excuses for the “High Court’s” denial of certiorari in both Snope v. Brown and Ocean State Tactical v. Rhode Island, two significant Second Amendment cases that the Supreme Court also declined to hear.
“In short, under this Court’s precedents, the Fourth Circuit’s decision is questionable… Although the Court today denies certiorari, a denial of certiorari does not mean that the Court agrees with a lower-court decision or that the issue is not worthy of review… The AR–15 issue was recently decided by the First Circuit and is currently being considered by several other Courts of Appeals. Opinions from other Courts of Appeals should assist this Court’s ultimate decision-making on the AR–15 issue… Additional petitions for certiorari will likely be before this Court shortly and, in my view, this Court should and presumably will address the AR–15 issue soon, in the next Term or two,” according to Kavanaugh.
Pretending the Second Amendment is of minimal importance and can be kicked down the road despite it being at the forefront of political debate for almost four decades is a bad look. It doesn’t help that Kavanaugh discusses taking direction from appeals courts that have already proven themselves corrupt, like those in California, Connecticut, Illinois, and New Jersey, where these cases currently reside. Notice that he did not make a single comment on taking direction from the Second Amendment itself. If this makes you wonder which document he swore his oath to defend, we’re in the same boat.
I’m going to stop scratching my head and come up with a theory here as to why this keeps happening. I have long since lost any faith in our government, but I find our enemies in black robes as much, if not more, untrustworthy than our politicians. Are they in on it? You bet I believe they are, but here’s the rub. The Supreme Court is compromised and will never issue a ruling that does not allow the left to interpret, reinterpret, and pervert the law to suit their needs. At the same time, it seems that much of the country has really had enough of these clowns, and a ruling in open defiance of the Constitution may just be what America needs to water that tree, if you know what I mean.
My theory? The Supreme Court will kick this issue down the road as long as it takes for legislators, the media, and judicial gangbangers to weaken, dismantle, and destroy the fabric of our nation. Then, and only then, will they attain the subjugation they so desperately covet, as globalists of today become the global oligarchs of tomorrow. Essentially, they keep us in the dark and feed us garbage without going so far as to spark things off, allowing the controlled demolition of America to take place.
“Assault rifles are the weapon of choice for criminals and terrorists set on quickly massacring innocents, but are rarely put to lawful public use,” Cook County attorneys wrote in a brief.
For blatant misrepresentations such as this one, this attorney should be disbarred, tarred, and feathered. It is common knowledge that criminals most commonly use handguns in the commission of violent crimes and mass shootings. It is also a settled fact that the AR-15 is America’s most popular rifle, with experts estimating between 20 million and 44 million in circulation. If that many AR-15s exist in American circulation today, and they were “rarely put to lawful public use,” don’t you think we’d have an issue of Biblical proportions? You bet we would. I wonder if Democrats put something in their food that makes it easier for them to lie so boldly in court, and how much cuck energy these judges who allow it are putting out.
Cook County attorneys also tried to argue that the government is responsible for protecting citizens from the dangers of assault weapons. Interesting. Responsibility goes hand in hand with accountability. Therefore, are these same attorneys saying that the county must then be held accountable when a disarmed citizen is injured or killed by a criminal with such a firearm? I mean, they did argue that the government is responsible for that safety, so I guess it’s time to get out that fat .gov checkbook. Taxpayers rejoice!
You know what the US government is really responsible for protecting? That’s right, the Constitution and the liberty endowed upon all Americans by our Founding Fathers. Think about it. It’s the Second Amendment. One, two… That’s pretty significant, and it is not a mistake. Don’t let these corrupt snake oil salesmen get you hung up on concepts like “common use” or “lawful public use” as some metric for gun rights, either. Neither term exists in the Second Amendment, and these not-so-clever distractions are nothing more than a tool to distance our perspective and understanding from that which shall not be infringed.
