On March 4, it was revealed that the NBA had launched an investigation into an Instagram Live video of Morant displaying a gun at a Colorado nightclub earlier that morning, just hours after a loss to the top-seeded Denver Nuggets.[93][94] Later that day, the Grizzlies announced that Morant would be away from the team for at least two games.[95]
On March 15, Morant met with NBA commissioner Adam Silver in New York after exiting from his counseling program. Multiple other top NBA executives also attended the meeting.[99] The same day, the NBA announced that they had suspended Morant for eight games without pay for the nightclub incident. The suspension covered the six games that Morant had already missed as a result of his leave of absence from the Grizzlies, meaning he would be eligible to return to playing as soon as March 20.[102]
On May 14, two months after the first suspension, he was suspended from all team activities by the Grizzlies for flashing a gun during an Instagram Live session on his friend Davonte Pack's account.[103][104] Following the incident, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he was "shocked" and that the league and the team would assess the extent of further disciplinary actions.[103]
WHATS REALLY WRONG? BLACK PEOPLE CAN’T HAVE GUNS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES? There are no allegations that Morant bought his firearm unlawfully or that he committed any crimes with it. All indications are that he is a rich, law abiding resident of Memphis, TN. It is also not clear how the NBA could prove the guns in the videos were actually real firearms. At any rate, the auto-coon NBA negroes and other showcase Blacks parroting Massa’s dogma about gun control to Shadowbox Ja seem to be ‘bignorant’ of the following: Black people also have the right to bear and carry firearms on their person in public to defend themselves in case of public confrontation. A 2022 Supreme Court ruling made it plain; the 2nd Amendment protects an individual’s right to keep and bear arms for self-defense in public. The Supreme Court clearly stated;
Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear arms. As we explained in Heller, the “textual elements” of the Second Amendment’s operative clause— “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be in- fringed”—“guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation. Heller further confirmed that the right to “bear arms” refers to the right to “wear, bear, or carry . . . upon the person or in the clothing or in a pocket, for the purpose . . . of being armed and ready for offensive or defensive action in a case of conflict with another person.”
This definition of “bear” naturally encompasses public carry. Most gun owners do not wear a holstered pistol at their hip in their bedroom or while sitting at the dinner table. Although individuals often “keep” firearms in their home, at the ready for self-defense, most do not “bear” (i.e., carry) them in the home beyond moments of actual confrontation. To confine the right to “bear” arms to the home would nullify half of the Second Amendment’s operative protections.
Moreover, confining the right to “bear” arms to the home would make little sense given that self-defense is “the central component of the [Second Amendment] right itself.” Heller, 554 U. S., at 599; see also McDonald, 561 U. S., at 767. After all, the Second Amendment guarantees an “individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation,” Heller, 554 U. S., at 592, and confrontation can surely take place outside the home.
Although we remarked in Heller that the need for armed self-defense is perhaps “most acute” in the home, id., at 628, we did not suggest that the need was insignificant else- where. Many Americans hazard greater danger outside the home than in it. See Moore v. Madigan, 702 F. 3d 933, 937 (CA7 2012) (“[A] Chicagoan is a good deal more likely to be attacked on a sidewalk in a rough neighborhood than in his apartment on the 35th floor of the Park Tower”). The text of the Second Amendment reflects that reality.
The Second Amendment’s plain text thus presumptively guarantees [individuals] a right to “bear” arms in public for self-defense.
Additionally, Tennessee became a permitless carry state in 2021, allowing for open and concealed carrying of handguns without a permit.
Nevertheless liberal puppeticians and freedumb loving PropaGandhi work tirelessly to destroy said inalienable right.
Possessing a gun or defending yourself is not evil. So-called “gun rights” are especially important in a violent, racist society in which police routinely fail to protect Black people from criminals and have no legal obligation to do so anyway. [MORE]
When racist liberal authorities use Gun control measures that prevent Black or poor people from defending themselves in crime ridden areas they necessarily becomes accomplices to crime. Law abiding people comply with gun laws but criminals, who use guns to murder, assault, rob, deal drugs and rob and steal, don’t obey laws. As explained by Michael Huemer, “when the state deprives individuals of weapons, it can predict that some individuals will suffer murder, rape, or other serious crimes that would have been prevented if the victims had the means to defend themselves.” He further states, ‘the failure of police to protect people is one thing; actively intervening to stop them from protecting themselves is much worse. [MORE]
Only a NGHR would believe police primarily exist to protect and serve them. In fact, Black people are 3 times more likely than whites to be murdered by cops. Said factors exist in a legal context in which law enforcement is uncontrollable by citizens, generally unaccountable to them, can’t be hired or fired by citizens and has irresponsible, limitless power over people to take life on the street as they see fit while providing a compulsory “service” that citizens have no “right” to decline.
The inalienable or pre-existing right to bear and carry arms protects against the loss of all other freedoms. It may difficult for sleeping toms clinging to their cherished white liberal dogma to understand but the “2nd Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed—where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.” [MORE] The 2nd Amendment protects against overreaching government. Is that so hard to conceive when police murder Black men with impunity on a regular basis? As explained by Judge Alex Kozinski, “Disarmament was the tool of choice for subjugating both slaves and free blacks in the South.”
Without the right to carry arms for self defense and defense against government tyranny all your other so-called “rights” can be turned on and off like a light by authorities. As explained by legal scholar Skylar Petit,
“All too many of the other great tragedies of history—Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few—were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. If a few hundred Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful of weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.” [MORE]
Indeed, Historical Analysis Shows Disarmed Formerly Free People Have No Defense Against Slavery or Govt Violence.
All of the ten major tyrannical regimes of the twentieth century and beyond confiscated the weapons of the populations they planned to murder or terrorize en masse. How could governments kill or enslave so many people? The governments had all the power - and the people - the victims - were unable to resist. The victims were unarmed.
Naomi Wolf recently observed that in formerly free countries, such as Australia, citizens were routinely arrested for leaving their homes during COVID quarantines during a so-called “emergency” deemed as such by a unilateral authority without public input or vote. Wolf stated, ‘You can hate guns. But it is becoming obvious even to us pacifists, vegans, and tree huggers, that formerly free people who are unarmed are defenseless against the criminal tyrannies exerting massive violence and control upon them.‘ [MORE]
