244: Gun control, the second amendment and SCOTUS

from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill

P&C drink and review a tangerine wheat beer from Flying Dog, then discuss recent gun-related news.  Justice Thomas recently wrote a majority SCOTUS decision overthrowing very restrictive gun laws in New York. "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" means what it says.  The boys review the decision's logic and implications. What does "keep and bear" mean? Who has this right? Is it for individual self-defense, or only in the service of a state militia? How will it affect laws in other states?  Does this mean citizens can own anti-aircraft artillery and battleships? Is there a limit to the arms citizens can keep and bear?  Right around the same time SCOTUS issued this decision affirming gun rights, the Senate passed legislation approving so-called "red flag laws." The boys aren't fans.
