When he was running for president in 2016, Donald Trump said he’d put justices on SCOTUS who support the 2nd Amendment. That promise is now fulfilled.

Read: Trump’s Justices Tip Supreme Court to Strike Down NY Gun Control Carry Permit Law emilypostnews.com/p/trumps-justi… #EmilyPosts #2A
It’s clear the Supreme Court conservative majority wants to make Second Amendment rights equal for all Americans.

Six justices asked questions in oral arguments that shot holes in the Ny conceal carry permitting scheme that infringes on the right to bear arms. #SCOTUS #2a 2/
But it’s not a clean shot to the gun #SCOTUS opinion next year.

It’s unknown if the court will rule in a way that affects all the other “may issue” states— CA, MD, NJ, MA, RI, CT, DE and HI - or determine where guns can be carried. #2A 3/
“Gun-related chaos” made me laugh at my phone playing the audio.

I think if Justice Breyer carried a gun himself for a couple of weeks, he might see that the object doesn’t turn normal people into Squid Game killer guard in a red suit.

#2A #SCOTUS
Justice Alito on NYC carry law: “there is the right to self-defense for celebrities and state judges and retired police officers but pretty much not for the kind of ordinary people who have a real, felt need to carry a gun to protect themselves.” #2a #scotus
The most famous celebrity who got a gun carry permit for NYC is Pres Donald Trump. He hasn’t had to use it since he got Secret Service protection.

But Alito's point is Ny only allowing certain people to exercise their #2A rights and they aren’t the ones in the most danger.

The Right to Carry a Gun Finally Gets its Day in Supreme Court on Wednesday

Biden triggered, announces gun control executive actions to appease his base

New #EmilyPosts here: emilypostnews.com/p/the-right-to…
I predict that tomorrow you will hear at least five Supreme Court justices asking questions in court that tip the public to their support for gun carry rights and overturning the lower court ruling .
I don’t believe Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito would have gone along with taking up the New York gun carry case if they didn’t believe they had the votes to finish the job started in Supreme Court ruling in Heller.

I Almost Shot My Cameraman

Alec Baldwin is at fault for killing a woman, not the armorer or the assistant director

Read the details in #EmilyPosts emilypostnews.com/p/i-almost-sho…
I grabbed my range bag from the back of my car and walked toward my cameraman, Jason @FOXPhotog, who was sitting on a bench outside the shooting range. I smiled and remarked we were on a fun assignment that day for TV news.

Thread 2/
Moments later, I accidentally pointed a loaded gun at @FOXPhotog's stomach and almost shot him.

So, I understand a little of what Alec Baldwin must feel for shooting his cinematographer.

A Bullet or a Blank? How Alec Baldwin Shot and Killed a Woman With a Gun --
New #EmilyPosts here: emilypostnews.com/p/a-bullet-or-…
The Hollywood version of the Alec Baldwin story is that the actor killed a woman with a prop gun and a blank and is not at fault.

The true story is that Baldwin shot two people with a real gun and did not follow safety rules.

(2/4)
The media version of the Alec Baldwin story is the crew made a mistake and gave the actor one live round of ammunition that killed two people.

The factual version is no one knows what was in the gun.

Gen. Colin Powell Lessons on Civility in Public Life and Politically Diverse Friendships - Some reflections in early grief. #ColinPowell #EmilyPosts emilypostnews.com/p/gen-colin-po…
Gen. Colin Powell always said about politics, “It’s just business.” He meant, it’s not personal.

It helps to make political issues “just business” because it takes out the emotional charge.

#ColinPowell #civility thread (2/)
The public knows Colin Powell could be mean and judgemental because of his hacked emails.

It was a shame his privacy was taken.

He was so careful in public life to moderate his speech and his writing. He didn’t inflame people with words.
