"California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts and New Jersey along with New York are may-issue states. In the wake of the Supreme Court decision, the constitutionality of regulations in these states is likely to face renewed legal challenges. 

"Stephen Halbrook — a firearms law litigator and author who specializes in constitutional cases — told The Hill that the Supreme Court decision is likely to force them to strike down their existing laws.

“ 'None of these states will have to amend their laws. All they have to do is consider whatever they have equivalent to the New York law to be invalid, and they might as well just cross it out,' he said."  

. . .

"Halbrook also said language in the decision stating that 'everybody gets an equal chance to get a license' is significant. 

"While the Supreme Court’s ruling is final, Halbrook said that states are likely to put in place other restrictions, such as 'sensitive places' exceptions that govern where people holding concealed carry permits can have weapons. 

"Looking to the future, however, Halbrook said that the decision will be significant in that lower courts will likely look at two factors above all when examining firearms cases: the text of the Second Amendment and the historical understanding of what its authors meant when it was created."

In ruling New York’s proper-cause requirement violative of the right of law-abiding citizens at large to bear arms, the Supreme Court provides the method on whether various gun laws do or do not violate the Second Amendment.  That method is text and history, particularly the original understanding.  No more “means-ends” scrutiny in which courts balance away the right.

The decision doesn’t require New York or the other six states with “may-issue” licensing schemes to rewrite their laws – they need only to consider their “special need” requirements to be crossed out and to issue carry licenses to citizens with clean records as they otherwise would.  The sky will not fall as they conform to the Second Amendment as 44 other states have done.

Here's what now seems like an amazing historical fact: California once had a correct interpretation of the 2nd Amendment:  "In 1870, California repealed its ban on carrying concealed weapons that it had passed only seven years earlier.  Repeal had been advocated by the Daily Alta California, a leading San Francisco newspaper, on the basis of the Second Amendment, explaining: 'As the sovereignty resides in the people in America, they are to be permitted to keep firearms and other weapons and to carry them at their pleasure.'  The restriction 'disarms the orderly citizen and places no obstruction in the way of the robber.' "

From:  "The Carrying of Concealed Weapons," Daily Alta California, March 13, 1869, 2.  Quoted in Halbrook, The Right to Bear Arms: A Constitutional Right of the People or a Privilege of the Ruling Class?, pgs. 241-242 (hardback edition).

Would all the current screaming for more firearms restrictions at gun stores and shows impact criminals?  Nope.  "Fewer than 1 in 50 (less than 2%) of all prisoners had obtained a firearm from a retail source and possessed, carried or used it during the offense for which they were imprisoned."  Of these criminals, 43% bought their guns from illegal sources and over half simply stole their firearms.  What does this mean?  Criminals don't care about the laws they break to get guns they want.

"Gun Control in the Third Reich, Stephen Halbrook's extensively documented account of gun control under Nazi Germany, shows how gun control was used to keep guns out of the 'wrong' hands, mainly Jews.  Much of the discussion these days regarding registration focuses on the claimed ability to trace crime guns.  There might be no evidence of registration's success in doing that, but Halbrook slams home the success that registration had in tracing the guns of law-abiding politically undesirable citizens, so-called 'enemies of the people.'  Americans even in modern cities such as New York can see how discretionary licensing on who can own guns keeps blacks from owning guns, but Germany paints a picture of how discretion was used to disarm Jews and others considered undesirable. Among the many chilling discussions is how German Jews were systematically disarmed just weeks before the Night of the Broken Glass (Reichskristallnacht).  Ultimately, however, just as Americans have recently learned about their IRS tax records, Halbrook shows that no one can really guarantee promises that information on gun registration will never be abused."  -- John R.

Earlier this month, I was interviewed by Newsmax about Biden's laundry list of proposed gun bans.  Nothing that he proposed would have done anything to stop a tragedy like the latest school shooting. 

Watch my full interview (6:41 min.) on my YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLCQHS8Xp_s  .  The title is "Stephen Halbrook - Newsmax Interview - Biden's Proposed Gun Bans (June 3, 2022)."

Since "assault weapon" has come to be a propaganda term with no fixed meaning, it can mean anything you want it to mean.  In fact, one legislature's "assault weapon" warranting a prohibition and felony penalties is another legislature's sporting rifle not subject to special restrictions.  Not surprisingly, we are faced with the conundrum that jurisdiction A defines the term as having feature XYZ, jurisdiction B defines it as not having feature XYZ, and jurisdiction C is silent on that feature.  Will the true "assault weapon" please stand up?
