Joe Biden has a growing problem with the Supreme Court.
And Democrats are outraged by their latest defeat at the hands of SCOTUS.
That’s because Clarence Thomas just ended this major Biden administration policy goal and had Joe Biden shaking in rage.
Clarence Thomas has become a major thorn in the side of Democrats and radical leftists.
Thomas famously wrote the landmark pro-Second Amendment opinion in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen.
This ruling struck down the Empire State’s plot to prevent virtually all New Yorkers from getting a concealed carry permit.
In his decision, Justice Thomas wrote that “constitutional rights are enshrined with the scope they were understood to have when the people adopted them.”
The high court also held that all gun laws must be in accord with America’s long history and tradition of protecting the Second Amendment.
Gun-grabbers like Joe Biden panicked over the court’s decision, when they finally realized the court had put all firearm restrictions on the judicial chopping block.
And it didn’t take long for lower courts to start ruling against unconstitutional gun laws.
Second Amendment supporters in Virginia scored a major victory when U.S. District Judge Robert E. Payne struck down a gun control law in the Old Dominion that banned Virginians under age 21 from purchasing handguns.
This was a clear slap to 18 to 20-year-olds who can serve in the military as well as buy rifles and shotguns.
That was a big reason Judge Payne ruled banning 18 to 20 year olds from buying handguns ran afoul of America’s long and storied history of upholding the right to keep and bear arms.
“Because the statutes and regulations in question are not consistent with our Nation’s history and tradition, they, therefore, cannot stand,” Judge Payne added.
Judge Payne pointed out that Americans were not prevented from exercising their Constitutional rights just because they were under the age of 21.
“If the Court were to exclude 18-to-21-year-olds from the Second Amendment’s protection, it would impose limitations on the Second Amendment that do not exist with other constitutional guarantees,” the judge added. “It is firmly established that the First, Fourth, Fifth, Eight, and Fourteenth Amendments vest before the age of 21. […] Like these other rights, the Second Amendment’s protections apply to 18-to-20-year-olds,” Judge Payne continued.
Gun-grabbers immediately threw a hissy fit as they realized they had suffered a major setback to their goal of shredding the Constitution and disarming every single law-abiding American.
“It’s a significant decision — we disagree with the outcome,” Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence William T. Clark said, adding “there is compelling scientific evidence showing that teenagers are more impulsive and face unique elevated dangers from firearms.”
It is almost a certainty the gun-grabbers will appeal the Virginia case.
That means it will likely end up right back in front of Clarence Thomas and the rest of the conservative Supreme Court Justices who seem more than willing to send a message that the Second Amendment is no longer up for discussion.
