Op-Ed: States have a history of restricting guns in public. The Supreme Court should keep it that way (via latimesopinion)
also show that the presence of guns can escalate arguments into incidents of intimidation and violence and that more guns in a community make people feel less safe.An acquittal wouldn’t just set Rittenhouse free, it would set a legal precedent for other citizens to grab a gun and take the law into their own hands.
That’s one reason why authorities have long restricted the public carrying of guns; indeed, the practice dates back centuries under English law. Such laws were commonplace in this country at the time of the 2nd Amendment’s adoption, and there’s no evidence that those who wrote and ratified the 2nd Amendment meant to upend the practice.
Laws like New York’s have been adopted at various times in states as diverse as California, Wisconsin, Maine, Michigan, Virginia, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, Arizona and Idaho. Even in the days of the Wild West, Dodge City, Kan., and Tombstone, Ariz., imposed strict prohibitions on the carrying of weapons in town.
Texas’ history is emblematic. In the aftermath of the Civil War, gun violence, often directed against Black people and Republicans, prompted the state Legislature in 1871 to impose a total ban on concealed carry and to permit open carry of pistols only by those with “reasonable grounds” for fearing an “immediate and pressing” attack on their person. The ban remained in place for more than a century. Texas courts repeatedly upheld its constitutionality.
