Gun owners have been relying on the Supreme Court to stop Joe Biden’s crackdowns.
But it seems that they might soon be betrayed.
New leaked information reveals a very ugly reality about what the Supreme Court might do.
Supreme Court justices are not supposed to be “politicians” the way elected officials are, as their job is to faithfully apply the Constitution as it is written.
In reality, however, these justices are still very much influenced by outside political forces, as they do not like being criticized by the media.
That’s why they have not been able to stop as many of Joe Biden’s liberal policies as one might expect, despite the immense power of the office that they hold.
To be sure, there are some justices on the Supreme Court who have the courage to stand up to Biden, and would relish the chance to do so.
But they sadly do not represent a majority, as there are other justices like John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh who prefer to just play it safe.
This reality has reared its head yet again as new leaked information shows the Court may allow Biden to crack down on so-called “ghost guns.”
According to the BBC, “The US Supreme Court signalled its willingness to uphold a major gun control policy implemented by the Biden administration that regulates so-called ‘ghost guns’ in the same way as other firearms.
“The rule being challenged requires that ghost guns – largely untraceable firearms that can be assembled at home using kits – are subject to the same regulations as commercially-made firearms.
“Under that rule, ghost gun manufacturers are required to include serial numbers on the kits and perform background checks on the purchasers.”
The only possible reason the Biden administration could be so concerned about these guns is that they want all guns to be trackable.
They don’t like the idea that some people might own guns that they do not know about.
The article continues, “On Tuesday, in the first case of its term, the US’s top court considered whether this rule had been applied fairly to ghost guns, in a challenge brought by gun rights groups.
“All three of the courts’ liberal justices, as well as several of the six-member conservative majority, sounded skeptical of the challenge.”
“Conservative Justice Samuel Alito pressed Ms. Prelogar on the interpretation that a parts kit can be readily converted into a weapon that is regulated as a firearm.”
“But Chief Justice John Roberts, a conservative, seemed unconvinced by Mr. Patterson’s primary claim.”
The fact that Roberts is the main obstacle to getting conservative rulings on important issues is nothing new.
Roberts has spent practically his entire tenure on the Supreme Court trying to appease the left, and he is apparently doing it yet again in this important Second Amendment case.
It’s unfortunate that he, and other justices, are not committed to protecting the Constitution in full, and it leaves the Constitution open to even more attacks from the Biden administration.
