A 9th Circuit Decision on "whether the Second Amendment prohibits a local government from regulating gun possession on its property"
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, this decision as far as I can tell with respect to the 2nd Amendment is dicta. From
O'Scannlain's opinion:
"We therefore conclude that the right to keep and bear arms is “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition ... The crucial role this deeply rooted right has played in our birth and history compels us to recognize that it is indeed fundamental, that it is necessary to the Anglo-American conception of ordered liberty that we have inherited. We are therefore persuaded that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the Second Amendment and applies it against the states and local governments."
Bottom Line - From Bellson:
The 9th Circuit Court has split the atom in precise legal speak (read, BULLSHIT) to overturn the Anti-Gun Alameda County Ordinance that prohibits Gun-Shows on it's property.
They do however state clearly that the 2nd Amendment is Incorporated under the 14th Amendment, but they particularly de-fang it's meaning. This will now require at least another costly case to be argued for another 10 years.
Fucking Communists!!!!
