Popcorn, anyone?

Yesterday, at the American Thinker Steve McCann opined that The United States Has Become Two Countries Within a Nation. McCann supports his contention with numerous examples where the Left has pushed until the average American, who just wants to be left alone, is just plain discgusted. Whether it's the obvious two tier justice system in which the elites can get away with pretty much anything while those who criticize them are tired on trumped up charges, or it's the satanic immorality and lack of integity of the ruling elite, we look on and wonder how long will this go on? Indeed, we pray as the ancient Israelites did:

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

How long must I take counsel in my soul

and have sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;

light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”

lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

But I have trusted in your steadfast love;

my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Then the the Supreme Court, in a stunning decision, upheld the Second Amendment as being just as important a right as the other rights, sending a message to our scavenger class that they better stop the nonsense. Indeed, that seems to be the theme of all the decisions released at the end of the session.

But it seems that some of our ruling scavengers have decided to double down on their tyrannous and authoritarian ways. After all, the Court has no army, they think, so can't enforce anything. Of course, as long as scavengers agreed with the Court, they played along. But as we can see, that was just an act.

Today, at the American Thinker Michael Filozof points out the truth of McCann's piece from the day before by pointing out that New York Moves to Nullify Supreme Court Decision Upholding Gun Rights.

In an act of breathtaking defiance and spitefulness not seen since Southern states engaged in "massive resistance" to the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board decision, the New York State Legislature gave a middle finger to the Supreme Court and voted Friday to effectively nullify the Court's decision last week in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen.

After an extraordinary session for the explicit purpose of defying the Court, Senate Bill S51001 was rammed through on a party-line vote by the Democratic supermajority, passed the Assembly, and received the signature of Gov. Kathleen Hochul.

In response, Gov. Hochul (who was endorsed by the NRA in 2012 when she ran for Congress in rural Western New York) vindictively declared that New York would restrict guns to the point where the State would "go back to muskets." Hochul called the Legislature back from recess and presented a bill that criminalizes as a felony offense concealed carry in perhaps 98% of the state.

Relying upon Justice Scalia's unwise choice of words in District of Columbia v. Heller, the bill defines nearly every public area except for a road or sidewalk a "sensitive area" where a permit holder is forbidden to carry concealed. All schools, hospitals, parks, zoos, libraries, churches, shelters, subways, trains, buses, airports, aircraft, airports, terminals, stations, stadiums, places of entertainment, theaters, museums, concerts, banquet halls, "special events" (such as parades), federal, state, county, and municipal property and places (including restaurants) that serve alcohol are forbidden. Times Square is specifically named as a forbidden zone.

So, it seems that the New York branch of the scavenger class has shot the first cannon ball across the bow in a new front in the culture war. Quick, someone pop the popcorn.
