  • SCOTUS RULE ON 2A IS MORE THAN YOU THINK. CCW INSTRUCTOR EXPLAINS
    Gun owners across US got a gift from the Supreme Court. Its more than a Concealed Carry Case.
    SUPREME COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF SECOND AMENDMENT OH GLORIOUS DAY!
    June 23, 2022-The Supreme Court has issued an opinion in the long awaited NYSRPA v. Bruen case. Until this opinion, it had been 10 years of waiting for the Supreme Court to take up another Second Amendment case after the seminal Heller case which guaranteed the right of the individual to keep and bear arms.
    Now, in this latest case the Court has once again sided with the Constitution and millions of gun owners who have been under the oppressive thumb of politicians passing unconstitutional laws. Basically states like California and New York were restricting your foundational rights and they got caught.
    The NYSRPA case deals with two basic issues:
    1) the issuance of concealed carry permits under a regulatory "proper cause" regime (CCW)
    2) the standard under which a Second Amendment case is reviewed in court
    The first issue is easy, the Supreme Court made it very simple. New York and the other states that have a "good cause" requirement for issuing a CCW are unconstitutional restrictions on the rights of gun owners. Justice Alito in a concurring opinion stated “[T]he inherent right of self-defense,” Heller ex[1]plained, is “central to the Second Amendment right.” Id., at 628." This what our attorneys at Michel & Associates have been arguing for decades! The California Attorney General admitted in a statement that the California process for issuing CCWs was unconstitutional under this ruling, even as Governor Newsom began threatening gun owners with new punishment and new laws because of the ruling. We will challenge those just like we did this one and we will win!
    The second issue is one of standard of review. While we did not get the strict scrutiny that we hoped for, we did get a test that is devastating to most government claims that their laws can infringe on the rights of the people. In the past courts have used a two step balancing test for all Second Amendment claims. This typically viewed the Second Amendment claims in a lesser light and gave the government the ability to trample the rights of law abiding citizens. The Court here said "The Second Amendment 'is the very product of an interest balancing by the people,' and it 'surely elevates above all other interests the right of law-abiding, responsible citizens to use arms' for self-defense. Heller, 554 U. S., at 635. Pp. 15-17. Justice Tomas went on to say “The Court has little difficulty concluding also that the plain text of the Second Amendment protects Koch’s and Nash’s proposed course of conduct-carrying handguns publicly for self-defense. Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear arms, and the definition of “bear” naturally encompasses public carry.”
    Basically the Court concluded that all Second Amendment cases should be viewed under a test of history and tradition and with an eye towards what historically existed as a restriction on the Second Amendment when the 2nd and 14th Amendments were passed. Governments now must bear the burden of proving that whatever restriction they want to place on your rights was a restriction when the Second Amendment came into being. This is a huge burden on the government and not one that will be easily met!
    Michel & Associates, California Rifle & Pistol Association, and the Second Amendment Law Center have been fighting these types of unconstitutional laws for decades--and we have been winning! Now we look to the next line of cases that are currently lined up at the Ninth Circuit and Supreme Court and addressing some of the marks against the Second Amendment that states like California have had the opportunity to make over the years. Stay tuned as the Second Amendment Reckoning is just getting started.

      Really, as it looks like the licensing of a right is ok. To me, that's an unacceptable burden. For the people that are actually paying attention, this case most likely rubber stamps licensing. Also, the Nunn case out of Georgia in no way said one way or the other to carry. They specifically said concealed carry can be prohibited and open carry can't be...Corruption comes from both sides of the court, but that was the only way to work in licensing that was used to regulate the, PRIVILEGE, of carrying concealed firearms.

(If a crime is so violent, so evil, so heinous that a debt can't be paid, make the laws of sentencing so tough that they never get released).

    The most important thing about the NYSRPA case is that Justice Thomas set an extremely tough standard against infringements of our Second Amendment rights. That standard can be used to overturn most of the unconstitutional infringements, including new unconstitutional infringements legislatures are working on right now.
    PLEASE SUPPORT THE VERY MANY LAWSUITS TO OVERTURN THE INFRINGEMENTS BY DONATING TO FUND THE LAWSUITS AND BECOMING PLAINTIFFS. CRPA, FPC, GOC, GOA, and many others are and will be suing to overturn the many unconstitutional infringements in California and similarly in other states.
    P.S. We got much better than "strict scrutiny" since the court said all interest balancing tests are off the table. If a law violates the Second Amendment, it's unconstitutional. (Just like the Constitution itself says in plain text.)
    P.P.S. The test is *text* as informed by history and tradition. In other words, what does the law itself say, and in what historical context. The Second Amendment prohibits infringements on the right to own and carry arms, and the history is that there were virtually no restrictions in the first century of the country's existence including the Fourteenth Amendment and not including the first unconstitutional "gun control" laws to disarm freed slaves. So almost all gun laws are unconstitutional under that standard.
    P.P.P.S. "Gun control" can't be crime control when violent criminals and gang members ignore it and illegally carry illegal guns every day. Gun control only punishes the law abiding and forces them to be defenseless against crime, and this INCREASES CRIME. These infringements are also illegal under the Constitution and the Natural Rights upon which it's based.

      In the words of Thomas Jefferson: "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
      CRIMINALS DO NOT FOLLOW the LAW and LAWFUL Citizens are at a DISADVANTAGE if they are DISARMED Unconstitutionally by these Unconstitutional LAWS!!!
      "During my twelve-and-half years as a member of this body, I have never believed that additional gun control or federal registration of guns would reduce crime. I am convinced that a criminal who wants a firearm can get one through illegal, untraceable, unregistered sources, with or without gun control.”

      “The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials, and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.” - US Supreme Court, West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette
      "The right of a citizen to keep and bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the state government. It is one of the “High Powers” delegated directly to the citizen, and is excepted out of the general powers of government.

      Can you show me where in the 2nd Amendment a right was created or granted? Ok, you can't that's because the 2nd Amendment confers no positive right. It recognizes a pre-existing right. to infringe upon our right to keep and bear arms, besides the fact that no authority is granted to the federal government in its limited, enumerated powers to infringe upon them in the first place. To understand why this was a BAD decision one has to understand that the constitution created a Federal system, in other words a small general government with a limited number of delegated powers, and everything else is left to the States. Chief Justice John Marshall explained the difference between the Federal Constitution and State Constitutions:
      “The constitution was ordained and established by the people of the United States for themselves, for their own government, and not for the government of the individual states. Each state established a constitution for itself, and in that constitution, provided such limitations and restrictions on the powers of its particular government, as its judgment dictated." Bottom line: The Supreme Court had ZERO standing to hear this case, it should have stayed in NY.

      “The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials, and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.” - US Supreme Court, West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette
      "The right of a citizen to keep and bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the state government. It is one of the “High Powers” delegated directly to the citizen, and is excepted out of the general powers of government. A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it because it is above the law, and independent of lawmaking”
      Cockrum v State, 24Tex394 (1859).

      “A law repugnant to the Constitution is void. An act of Congress repugnant to the Constitution cannot become a law. The Constitution supersedes all other laws and the individual’s rights shall be liberally enforced in favor of him, the clearly intended and expressly designated beneficiary.”
      -Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)
      I WILL NOT FOLLOW Unconstitutional LAWS as they are NULL and VOID!!!

    A shame the lower courts and some politicians cannot comprehend the FACT that an AR-15 is *NOT* an "assault weapon" and should leave that type of rifle alone. IF someone modifies their rifle to be rapid fire, then prosecute them for doing such; that's now become no different than an M16 fully automatic rifle, which does fall under the "assault weapon" category.

    In New York State you do not need a license for a long gun. Only in New York City. There is an “assault weapons” & large capacity magazine ban. Police officers [retired & active] are exempted from the large cap mag ban. Sale of any assault weapon in NY State is illegal, but ones possessed before 2013 are grandfathered in & must be registered with the NYSP. In the 2nd Federal District [upstate NY] the large cap mag ban was overturned. So in NY state there are 2 different sets of rules in effect, which doesn’t make any sense legally.
