Does the latest SCOTUS ruling affect the guns in parks laws?

[RobD]

I was just thinking about this in the fact that it was ruled that out and out gun bans are unconstitutional does this mean the cities guns in parks bans are now null and void?

No. Guns in parks is still applicable. As with the last SCOTUS ruling, they still said "reasonable" restrictions can be applied.

[RobD]

I think they pointed to "reasonable" as things like convitcted felons owning guns and the like. Not restricting movement. Not sure though.

I can't imagine they ment that my god given right to self defence had limits of where I happend to be. Not sure how one goes about checking thier rights at the door. lol

Remember that some reasonable restrictions may still be allowed. Scotus didn't definitely, 100% say any particular law would survive. The door was simply left open that some would.

Also remember that they incorporated the entire 2nd, not just part of it. And they certainly didn't address or describe what they thought certain parts of it did or did not mean. ( "bear" and "shall not be infringed" are still to be addressed. )

So don't buy into what the anti-gun crowd is trying to peddle... there's no certainty that any particular gun law will survive, until it's been challenged and ruled fit to stand.

It still stands until it's challenged and struck down.

[Guest Jamie]

Yep. But at least now it can be challenged and struck down. And the more laws that fall before it, the more likely that is to happen.

Before there was no ground to stand on to challenge it. Now there's a considerable high spot. Hopefully, before too long there will be a mountain of high ground.

Guys, the next big case will impact carry... By the same attorney that brought you Heller and McDonald... Keep an eye on the Palmer v DC lawsuit. It will be the game changer.
