This is actually pleasant to hear

The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a 6-3 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, expanding gun rights for the first time in more than a decade.

The majority opinion, authored by Justice Clarence Thomas, held that New York’s “proper cause” requirement for obtaining a concealed carry license violated the Constitution because it “prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms.”

Ah, the lamentations of the leftists- including the three Justices- are sweet to hear.  And it's not just New York every state with this kind of crappy law is, appropriately, crapping in  outrage.

Someone on radio said that the People's Republic of NY is insisting they won't obey this; I wonder if the first suit is already being filed, or if they're just waiting for NY to actually violate it?

I guess we're still hoping we a land ruled by laws and not the dictates of a single individual. There's no enforcement if Biden and New York decide to ignore the supreme court decision. Andrew Jackson realized this when he stated "John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it."

Biden has already made it clear that he will do things he knows is unconstitutional knowing that (a) the courts are slow to react, and (b) the courts have no enforcement arm.

We now live in a post-constitutional country.

If some dolt decides “let them enforce it”, he’s sitting on the bullseye of a civil rights suit.
As in: “Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.”

I'd imagine the people involved already have the suit drawn up, just waiting for one of the Usual Suspects to do it.
