This Definitely Needs to be Addressed Once and For All

State's 'emergency' gun ban in lawsuit bull's-eye - Suspending 'fundamental civil rights' challenged as unconstitutional

quote:

Less than 24 hours after word erupted in Washington the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed 2nd Amendment gun ownership rights for all Americans, a lawsuit has been filed over a practice in North Carolina of banning guns during "emergencies."

The case was brought today in federal court for the Eastern District in North Carolina by the Second Amendment Foundation and Grass Roots North Carolina, a leading gun -rights group in the state.

Also taking the lead in the challenge to state officials are Michael Bateman, Virgil Green and Forrest Minges Jr. Defendants in the action are North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue; Reuben Young, secretary of the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety; Stokes County and the city of King.


I commented on this earlier here and also here.

It's bad enough that a state forces you to pay for a permit to carry concealed, but then to turn around and revoke it based on somebody's whim? Any public servant who does not understand the language of the Constitution and supporting documents, should not be allowed to hold a position as a civil servant.


The readers may also remember, that the gun confiscation in New Orleans was found to be illegal.
