Radical Leftist-run states have made it their mission to chip away at Americans’ rights, especially when it comes to the Second Amendment.

Under the guise of “public safety,” they have passed law after law, making it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves.

This from thepatriotjournal.com.

It’s not just about guns; it’s about eroding personal freedoms in favor of government control.

These blue states are becoming playgrounds for criminals

while law-abiding citizens are left defenseless.

The state of Illinois, with Chicago as the heartbeat, is known for its stringent gun laws. Communists/Globalists have pushed for more restrictions year after year but the inner-city crime has continued to rise. What sense does this make? Or what are these radical liberals doing wrong?

The right to bear arms, clearly stated in the Constitution, has been trampled on in these unsmart liberal strongholds. Could it possibly be that they think disarming citizens will make everyone safer. This is a demonstration of suicidal ideation.

From Breitbart:

A U.S. District Judge ruled Friday that Illinois’ ban prohibiting concealed carry for self-defense on public transportation violates the Second Amendment…

In Illinois, openly carrying firearms is unlawful. Under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, an individual with a concealed-carry license may generally carry a concealed handgun in public….This general permission, however, does not extend to a list of prohibited areas, including public transportation.

A U.S. District Judge just ruled that Illinois’ ban on concealed carry for self-defense on public transportation violates the Second Amendment. That’s right—the very rights communists/globalists have tried to strip away are being upheld by the courts.

This is a win for freedom!!

The case, Schoenthal v. Raoul, challenged Illinois’ restrictions on concealed carry. Plaintiffs argued that banning concealed firearms on public transit infringed on their right to self-defense. And the court agreed.

Judge Ian D. Johnston, the one who made the ruling, highlighted how Illinois laws on openly carrying firearms are already strict. Under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, people with licenses can carry concealed handguns in public—except in certain places like public transportation. So, you can carry a firearm, just not where you might need it most, like a crowded train or bus. That makes no damn sense.

Johnston’s ruling cited the 2022 Bruen case, which laid out a framework for analyzing gun control laws. He took Cook County State’s Attorney Kimberly Foxx’s argument and tore it apart. Foxx had argued that the state had the right to ban firearms on public transportation because it was acting as a property owner. The judge wasn’t impressed.

Alan Gottlieb, the founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, celebrated the court’s decision as a “significant victory.” He did not hold back in his critique of Foxx’s argument. Gottlieb said the court found her reasoning “breathtaking, jaw-dropping, and eye-popping”—and not in a good way.

This case is a clear example of how far communist/globalist-run states will go to restrict the rights of We the People. But, thankfully, this time, the Constitution won. The ban on carrying concealed firearms on public transportation in has been struck down. This ruling is a reminder that no matter how much these blue states push, the Constitution still stands strong—provided We the People are able to retain Constitutionalist judges.
