Supreme Court Guts the 2A
2019-11-13
This decision furthers the gun grabbers' plans; rather than trying to confiscate guns, the grabbers plan to make them unavailable by suing makers out of business.
[Breitbart] The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) cleared the way Tuesday for Sandy Hook families’ lawsuit against gun maker Remington to proceed.

SCOTUS did this by refusing to hear Remington’s appeal of a March Connecticut Supreme Ruling that allowed the lawsuit to stand.

The Stamford Advocate reports 10 Sandy Hook families filed the suit despite the existence of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act; “a federal law that shields the industry from most liability when its firearms are criminally misused.”

On November 14, 2017, Breitbart News reported the AR-15 used in the Sandy Hook attack was stolen, as was the handgun the attacker used to take his own life when police reached the scene.

#11  Regarding deciding which cases to hear, it's mostly the SC clerks that does the reading and if a "petition for certiorari" meet specific criteria, then it's passed on to the SC judges for final decision as to whether or not the SC will hear the case.

Do a DDG search for "How does the SCOTUS decide what cases to hear" if you want more information, there's a lot to wade through.

#9  #4 So, how did Kavanaugh vote?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru


He didn't, the SC declined to hear the case.

Take away from: How does the SCOTUS decide what cases to hear?

"Just four of nine justices have to vote 'Yes' to take a case and Hasday says most votes are likely quick because of the sheer math involved. Each year, there are roughly 7,000 cases that petition the court trying to be heard. They only take between 100 and 150."

#8  I heard this during the Obamacare debate, and it really hit home for me. The Supreme Court can do a lot. It can hold back the tide of the worst people/decisions in our society. But it can never hold back everything, or even the majority of awful things in our country. We will, one way or another, end up with the laws and society that we deserve (if not the ones that we want). Liberals deserve an awful society, and they are multiplying thanks to their control of so many facets of society. Thus, more and more areas of our society become awful, from certain portions of the economy to entire regions like the West Coast. Our country is sick, but the Supreme Court isn't a doctor. Just the immune system.

#6  With any luck the court is waiting for a very bad decision in this case that they can overturn with prejudice. And maybe Ruthie G dies between now and when the appeal is heard.

#2  Now car manufacturers can be sued for DUIs!

Yeah, torts all around. The drunks can sue the liquor / beer / wine industry and also sue the car manufacturers, just like the victims. And the coppers and breath testing device makers can also join the fun.
