As a result of the Supreme Court’s decision, those 14 states which forbid gay marriage must now allow it. I support this, since I want no government to hold the power to tell me or any other citizen who we may or may not marry.
All well and good. But another 14 states (listed below) refuse to recognize my right, emphasized by a license issued by the state of Texas, to carry a handgun. The Constitution neither names nor addresses marriage; the right to marry had to be gleaned by the court by intent. The right to bear arms, however, could not be more explicitly recognized by the Constitution: the second amendment added to it declares that right in the clearest of terms.
From those who supported the court’s decision on gay marriage, I look forward to equally energetic support for the riddance of those laws which deny the right granted to me and all citizens by the Second Amendment. Unfortunately, the 14 states are largely governed by the left, and I have no faith that those on the left will honor or even recognize such fairness.
In the meantime, I will not comply with the laws of these states, city and territory which deny this right:
California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Washington, District of Columbia.
