Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Cites ‘Black Codes’ as Precedent Justifying Hawaii Gun Control

“…During Supreme Court oral arguments in Wolford v. Lopez Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson contended that “Black Codes” may offer precedent necessary to justify Hawaiian gun controls.

At question are Hawaii gun restrictions barring even licensed concealed carriers from carrying on private property that is open to the public unless said carriers first get permission from the land owner.

The restriction is being weighed in light of Bruen (2022), which requires gun controls to be tested on the basis of historicity and tradition.

Justice Jackson contended regarding the “Black Codes,” which were popular throughout the Democrat south, “I thought the Black Codes were being offered here under the Bruen test to determine the constitutionality of this regulation. And it’s because we have a test that asks us to look at the history and tradition…”

Wow.

Wow is all I’ve got.

Democrats.

You can’t make it up.
