Lori Lightfoot, Without a Hint of Irony, Says SCOTUS Made a 'Tone Deaf' 2A Decisiony Banning Abortion Will Save Millions More Lives Than Banning Guns

[Townhall] Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) joined the chorus of liberals who voiced their disappointment in the Supreme Court ruling 6-3 in striking down New York's "may issue" of conceal carrying handguns.

The conservative justices made it clear the Second Amendment is not a "second class" right and it applies to firearms beyond muskets or other weapons when it was adopted due to the fact other rights are not restricted to the 1700s.

Lightfoot told MSNBC the decision is "not surprising" and it further "undermines the legitimacy of the court" because the ruling was "tone deaf" since the Senate is about to pass a bipartisan gun control bill.

She’s pounding the table — Mayor Lightfoot worked as a partner in a private law firm before going into politics. She knows the US Supreme Court can only rule on cases resulting from existing law. Should the current bill be passed into law and signed by the president, then a case can wind its way up to the Supreme Court for judgement.

"We were part of an amicus effort on behalf of a number of states in support of the New York law and really focusing on the importance of the federalism, but unfortunately, given the composition of this court, we’re not surprised they struck down the New York law. But I think they give an ample opportunity for New York and other states to pass other laws that are going to make common sense restrictions on gun use, particularly people displaying weapons in public, which itself is a threat," Lightfoot said.

#1 With the left, the law is what they think it is or want it to be. Most of the time they practice "lawfare" and not law.

#3 I have a neighbor who is so far in the tank they took kid pics off the fridge to hang up Obama.

Come election, there is an issue which, as I understand, reaffirms Kansas' ability to determine abortion laws. They have a sign in their yard, and without irony, "Keep you hands off of our rights!"

#4 First you have to share the same language...

Many years ago I was going to ask my sister (as Left as you can go and a frothing Trump hater to the bone) how she reconciled: 'No Death Penalty!!1!!' with 'Abortion'. The talk crash and burned when she hotly demanded that it was "Right. To. CHOOSE!" ...*Sigh* I decided at that point a rational discussion was impossible.
