Right-wing Supreme Court upholds concealed carry ban

The right-wing vanguard is now officially on record as opposing gun laws that might actually be effective, while supporting those that aren't. Thus, they continue their long-running streak of getting everything backwards.

I support gun rights. But I think expanded background checks are a regulation that can be put to a good cause - although Senate Republicans defeated expanded checks this week. Is it fair that someone who buys guns at a licensed shop is treated more stringently than someone who buys guns at a gun show (especially since the Tea Party is using gun shows as a conduit for weapons)? I truly believe the gun show loophole lets guns fall into the wrong hands.

President Obama is right: It really is shameful for the Senate to defeat background checks.

But you know what happened Monday? The right-wing Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the state of New York's rigid limits on concealed carry. Unlike many other states, New York requires "proper cause" before issuing a concealed carry permit. This despite the fact that other courts have ruled that concealed carry is a right that can't be arbitrarily limited like this.

Say, aren't conservatives supposed to be the ones who are against gun control? Nah. They're only against gun laws that might actually work.

They'll go to the ends of the earth to protect right-wing creeps who don't want to follow the same rules as everybody else - but they don't seem to care at all if the rights of law-abiding Americans are curtailed. In short, they believe in gun rights for themselves, but nobody else. Their pretense of being Second Amendment champions is one of the most successful aspects of the long-running conservative propaganda campaign, and it's time we clear this up.
