(The Center Square) – The list of where possessing a firearm is illegal, even with a concealed pistol license, could soon expand as lawmakers considered a bill Tuesday to ban
It’s a pretty short series of hops from Heller v. D.C. to McDonald v. Chicago to Bruen v. NYSPRA to this. If you’re banning carrying at almost every place, public and private, then it’s a de facto ban.
I think that yes, banning firearms in certain privately owned spaces should be forbidden by law. We shouldn’t be, IMO, be broadly outsourcing permissions to exercise rights to corporations, and allowing private companies to determine whether or not we have rights. We’ve already ceded too much power to corporations and private interests, and it’s time to take it back.
SCOTUS would need to create new precedent, this isn’t a carry ban it’s a location ban.
Its true scotus doesn’t want guns in their presence.

If you want to argue it’s a de facto ban then go right ahead. But the reality is most of the places we go are privately owned these days.

What about their rights?
But current SCOTUS will gladly use this as an excuse to establish that precedent.
