I believe in all the amendments to the Bill of Rights, okay? I\u2019m a big supporter of all of them, especially the 10th. But on the Second Amendment, the Supreme Court\u2019s gonna hear a Second Amendment gun rights case that could be huge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-392488\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-041521-scotus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-041521-scotus.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-041521-scotus-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-041521-scotus-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It could be huge. &#8220;The U.S. Supreme Court will soon consider whether Americans can be legally prohibited from carrying a firearm in public under the Second Amendment, as the court announced Monday it will take up a challenge to New York\u2019s restrictions on concealed carry licenses in the name of self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The case, New York State Rifle &amp; Pistol Association Inc. v. Corlett, concerns whether New York can legally prohibit people from carrying a gun outside the home without a license, and challenges the state\u2019s practice of refusing licenses to those who can\u2019t show they have &#8216;proper cause\u2019 to carry a firearm,&#8221; because that\u2019s an interpretable phrase, right?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you have &#8216;proper cause\u2019?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, yes. My ex-husband wants to kill me, my ex-wife is coming after, whatever it is. The states then just use that to say: No, can\u2019t have it, you can\u2019t have it. It\u2019s not gonna be for you.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zype_60871ab09b88e80001f2d07e\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.zype.com\/embed\/60871ab09b88e80001f2d07e.js?api_key=6yUf3WZePk78GtpC3BXdZSqZ5ma_gYmV_rEJ8OYJZ0wq3AlDKM2RFnOcBN0xiMco&amp;controls=true\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In a brief opposing the suit, New York Attorney General Letitia James said the state\u2019s policy is a &#8216;flexible standard\u2019 that is in line with the Second Amendment, and those who don\u2019t qualify for full concealed carry licenses can receive more limited ones for keeping a gun in the home or for certain purposes like hunting.&#8221; I always love that. That\u2019s always a fallback.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you can hunt. You\u2019re allowed to go and bag a grouse if you\u2019re so inclined! This has been a long-term target. The Supreme Court\u2019s gonna be looking at this coming up in the fall. It\u2019s gonna be a very, very interesting case. Amy Coney Barrett\u2019s presence on the case, by the way, is gonna get a lot more attention on this. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/02\/20\/the-lefts-objective-is-the-confiscation-of-all-weapons\/\">Here\u2019s Rush talking about the left\u2019s objective is the confiscation of all weapons.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The objective here, folks&#8230; The long-term, the epitome &#8212; I mean, the nirvana dream &#8212; is the confiscation of all weapons. They\u2019re not gonna stop \u2019til they get that, and they\u2019re never gonna get that, which means they\u2019re never gonna stop. The objective is the confiscation of all weapons, and it\u2019s not because they think that will stop the killing. This is what\u2019s so offensive me about this. This is not about stopping the killing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-391644\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-040921-Guns-Constitution.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-040921-Guns-Constitution.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-040921-Guns-Constitution-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-040921-Guns-Constitution-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>It\u2019s not about saving the children. It\u2019s not about any of that. It\u2019s only about leftists wanting to control and have control over as much of the population as they can. It\u2019s why they hate the NRA, and it\u2019s not because the NRA spends a lot of money. The NRA spends very little compared to other major donors. The NRA is a very, very large and very, very successful grassroots organization. The NRA\u2019s strength comes from the depth of its membership and who those people are, and left cannot undermine that no matter how hard they try, and they will never be able to undermine it.<\/p>\n<p>So they have to go after the guns. And all of this talk about changing regulations and laws, never forget: The only people who are regulating are people who already obey the law. By definition, people are gonna break the law. By definition, people are gonna go get guns that are banned. In fact, the more they\u2019re banned, the more attractive they\u2019re gonna be. It\u2019s not the way to deal with this.<\/p>\n<p>BRETT: It\u2019s incredible to think that they\u2019re gonna make this kind of a move.
