JUSTICE THOMAS ADMONISHES COURT FOR REJECTING GUN RIGHTS CASE
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas dissented from his colleagues’ decision to deny review in a case involving the issue of gun rights. Justice Kavanaugh joined in part of the dissent.
The case involved a man who unsuccessfully sought approval from the state of New Jersey to carry A gun for protection while servicing ATM machines.

“Petitioner asks this Court to grant certiorari to determine whether New Jersey’s near-total prohibition on carrying a firearm in public violates his Second Amendment right to bear arms, made applicable to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment,” the dissent explains.
Thomas suggested that if the case pertained to the constitutionality of a law requiring people to demonstrate “justifiable need” in order to engage in free speech or abortion, the Supreme Court would likely have granted the review.
“But today, faced with a petition challenging just such a restriction on citizens’ Second Amendment rights, the Court simply looks the other way,” Thomas noted.
“This case gives us the opportunity to provide guidance on the proper approach for evaluating Second Amendment claims; acknowledge that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry in public; and resolve a square Circuit split on the constitutionality of justifiable-need restrictions on that right,” Thomas wrote.

AMENDMENT II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Why is it that we do NOT hear these last 4 words—“shall not be infringed” from any authority figure??? WHY???
What do those 4 words mean?
We the people NEED/MUST learn what our guaranteed rights are and do it NOW/!!! Because no one is telling us, not even the leaders in the church…..
And pray for those who are supposed to know, to have skillful and godly wisdom to do what is right according to the Constitution of these United States of America!! And the Word of God!!
Oops, sorry I forgot to add this:
meaning of infringed in the Second Amendment
Security in this sense means “safekeeping, defense, and protection.” Infringed simply means “to trespass or violate”, in this case, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be violated.
Thank you, Justice Thomas! Much needed wisdom at this moment in our history!
