9th Circuit Paves The Way
To Ending Gun Rights
By Ben Shapiro. June 9th, 2016
On Thursday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling stating that there is no right under the Second Amendment to carry concealed weapons in public. This, of course, is surprising, given that the actual language of the Second Amendment explicitly declares the right to "bear arms" -- and bearing arms means carrying them. But the Court truly just wants to allow localities to regulate firearm ownership out of existence, or like practice of religion, to restrict the right to the privacy of your home.
Circuit Judge William Fletcher wrote the opinion, in which he stated that "the Second Amendment does not preserve or protect a right of a member of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public." The case itself revolved around the question of "good cause" restrictions on concealed carry permits.
It is nearly impossible to get a concealed carry permit in, for example, Los Angeles County -- even people who are regularly subjected to death threats are denied such permits. "Good cause" in San Diego County explicitly excludes "fearing for one's personal safety alone." ..... 
This is serious, and how the Constitution can be rendered meaningless: not in one giant full-frontal assault, but day by day, case by case. This is also why the Second Amendment matters. The government that can carve away your gun rights can carve away all the other ones too. Creeping incrementalism is the name of the game.
