SCOTUS would need to create new precedent, this isn't a carry ban it's a location ban.

[–] stormeuh@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

But current SCOTUS will gladly use this as an excuse to establish that precedent.

It's a pretty short series of hops from Heller v. D.C. to McDonald v. Chicago to Bruen v. NYSPRA to this. If you're banning carrying at almost every place, public and private, then it's a de facto ban.

If you want to argue it's a de facto ban then go right ahead. But the reality is most of the places we go are privately owned these days.

I think that yes, banning firearms in certain privately owned spaces should be forbidden by law. We shouldn't be, IMO, be broadly outsourcing permissions to exercise rights to corporations, and allowing private companies to determine whether or not we have rights. We've already ceded too much power to corporations and private interests, and it's time to take it back.

I don't believe that corporations should have rights in the first place.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'm less worried about corporate rights and more worried about employee rights.

Its true scotus doesn't want guns in their presence.
