When Donald Trump was elected as President of the United States in 2016, many political leftists were terrified that Trump would do long-term damage to the country in some way. Maybe they thought that he’d use executive orders to do things that they didn’t like. Or maybe they thought that he would sign laws into place that they didn’t like.
It turns out that those political leftists may have been on to something about Trump’s impact on the country.
Now, I’m not suggesting that he hurt our country, especially in comparison to the administration that followed him into the White House and the damage that they’ve done. But Trump certainly did have a long-term affect on our country, just not the way that they probably expected.
He did it through the judges that he appointed.
And a Trump judge just crushed a gun control law that had been in place for ten years. It’s a beautiful thing. Yudi Sherman writes,
A federal appeals court Tuesday struck down a decade-old law in Maryland which requires Americans to first obtain a license before owning a handgun.
According to the Firearms Safety Act 2013, Maryland taxpayers who wish to own a handgun must first obtain a “handgun qualification license.” To do so, they need to submit an application and fingerprints for a background investigation, take a four-hour firearms safety training course, and wait up to 30 days for approval from the state. Even if approved, the taxpayer is only allowed to own the handgun. To carry it, a carrying permit must be obtained through an additional application process.
Gun rights groups such as Maryland Shall Issue, along with individual stakeholders, sued Maryland Governor Wes Moore in 2016 over the law but lost the case.
But this week a three-judge panel in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the lower court’s decision and found that the law violates the Second Amendment.
“In Maryland, if you are a law-abiding person who wants a handgun, you must wait up to thirty days for the state to give you its blessing,” wrote Trump-appointee Judge Julius Richardson in the majority opinion. “Until then, there is nothing you can do; the issue is out of your control. Maryland has not shown that this regime is consistent with our Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
Good for Judge Sherman and the other judges who were of the majority opinion. That’s exactly how all gun control laws should be handled in court: crushed.
Why? Because the Second Amendment is absolute. You absolutely have the right to keep and to bear arms.
Anti-2A zealots and their cronies in government and the mainstream legacy media keep trying to take them from you, though.
But the affect of a Trump-appointed judge shows how important it is for Americans to be sure that those elected take their oath of office seriously and will, therefore, appoint judges that also take their oaths of office seriously, too.
How about the courts take on the question of reciprocity?
Yes!
Excellent question and I agree that it should be addressed as the 2nd amendment is for the whole USA not just some states.
Great idea. The 2nd Amendment is for the nation, not just within individual states.
An American Court practicing the Rule of Law. How quaint in today’s America.
Breaking their oath of office is a federal crime, under ” Title 5 USC section 7311 and 1333 “check it out !
Why is no one being arrsted ?
Good question. I don’t understand why Biden, Harris, Garland and all the heads of FBI, DOJ, IRS haven’t been impeached. Why isn’t Fauci and General Miley in Jail. Why aren’t Pelosi and Schumer in jail? The Communist Democrats have been destroying our democracy for years and nothing is being done about it. They attack our Freedoms of Speech, Religion and especially our 2nd amendment rights. They brainwash our children and military with CRT Marxist ideology) along with LGBQT propaganda. They have weaponized all Departments against us.
YES, SIR!
Exactly. I’m tired of the trash getting away with their criminal acts.
You are correct. The Biden regime is not in line with America’s values at all. Biden,Obama,Soros and the Clinton’s and many more are trying their best to errode what we want and have fought for, for decades.
No one has the courage to address this problem. Given the opportunity, the Left will kill you.
That should mean that all forms of state firearms owner permission is illegal …
Refreshing a court ruling the way of the Constitution as written SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED … Also knowing what INFRINGED means …
Because the Communist Democrats on the doj
owning a firearm is a right for all citizens, not a privilege. The American people need to arm them self’s and take our country back from all who desecrate our Constatation. Even if we have to go to war with them.
Needing a permit to carry concealed is simply Unconstitutional. Just another way for state governments to know who has and carries a concealed weapon. Too bad the criminals and gang-bangers don’t apply for permits!
That right does not include and arsenal of
unlimited weapons in your basement.
Yes it does.
