Court Rules Cops Can’t Stop-and-Frisk You For Carrying A Gun [Watch]
I’ve been asked if this means no more Terry stops and pat-downs, but I don’t think so, because those require a “reasonable suspicion” that a suspect has committed a crime, and already forbids just make something up, although this ruling could conceivably make some “Only Ones” more hesitant to do that.
Perhaps someone who actually knows what he’s talking about on this can weigh in and educate me.

It’s instructive to note who the Democrats want to keep on the streets and who they want to forcibly remove from society.

A comment needs responding to. But I’m posting my reply here because one thing I insist on is keeping article comments on topic to what’s being invited for discussion, in this case, the inevitable utter failure of areas under total Democrat control and the dangers of expansion. To respond to points raised over at AmmoLand would hijack and derail that discussion and take focus off the reason I wrote the article and what I felt important to call attention to.
I gotta say, I can’t help but feel there’s a sentiment I’m picking up from that comment that I’m not doing enough. Or that I owe more. Don’t go there. Or do, and let’s compare records.
To start off with we can’t “all” agree the problem is mostly with Democrats even though it’s true. Half the country votes for them and will continue to do so regardless of what lies, crimes, perversions and outright treasonous subversions are exposed. But I didn’t write this to unquestioningly praise Republicans, which seems to be the comment poster’s takeaway. If that’s the case, I challenge him to find one 2A writer who has called out errant Republicans – including Donald Trump– more often and consistently than I have. Recent case in point: Who else is pointing out the Fort Stewart shooting exposes his past unkept promise on private arms at military bases?
The purpose of this piece was not to offer a grand manifesto for restoring the Republic and living happily ever after, just to expose another danger by using a story I haven’t seen on any other “gun sites” to illustrate a larger point. If we’re going to go beyond that, my response does not belong under an article on East Harlem degenerates and the politicians who enable them, and whose agenda will spread the misery wherever they gain power.
But yeah, I’ve been involved in plenty of constructive advocacy/activism efforts over the years. And ultimately, my “advice,” which seems what’s being asked for, centers on never expecting anything from a reader – or a politician or other “leader”– I don’t expect and hold myself to: Try to stay informed, look into things that could present problems or opportunities, speak out when needed, join with/assist those I find worthy when I can, stay armed, trained, and prepared, defy and disobey bad laws, and strive to live the principles I espouse. That by itself is not enough, which means my goal is to encourage others to do the same. And if enough of us, say Three Percent or so, are united in this ideology, the tyrants will have to think more than twice before overreaching. Face it—the Second Amendment is still, for the most part, working. Otherwise, there’d be nothing to stop mass confiscation, which you’ll notice “they” haven’t dared try (Addendum: After Katrina).

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” New York Assemblyman Alex Bores (D) said that “it is finally time for us to have a nationwide ban on assault weapons, on these AR-15-style weapons.” But “we shouldn’t be in these discussions on the ticky-tacky aspects of the specific guns. We need to be taking action to keep people safe. Exactly where we draw the line on exactly what kind of weapon, we can discuss.” [More]
