Justice Clarence Thomas\u2019s majority opinion threw out the lower courts\u2019 use of interest-balancing tests, which were unconstitutional from inception. No other right was subjected to multiple steps to determine if that right belongs to individuals and not to the government to treat as a privilege that can be doled out according to the whims of bureaucrats,&#8221; he said via email.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oliva thinks all the worrying over when rights kick in and which ones count is just a bunch of hot air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The navel-gazing by legal scholars and authorities seems more to be over the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court struck down their unconstitutional tests. The handwringing of when rights begin and which rights apply is nonsense,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The Constitution is clear. Our rights are endowed by our Creator, not conferred by governments. The Founders were clear that Second Amendment rights belonging to the people didn\u2019t apply to flintlock muskets but arms.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oliva points out that we all understand that the First Amendment&#8217;s got our backs in the Internet age, even though the Founders never saw that coming. So, why wouldn&#8217;t the Second Amendment cover new tech too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Debates to minimalize&nbsp;<em>Bruen<\/em>&nbsp;and nothing short of attempts claw away rights that belong to citizens,&#8221; Oliva concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-your-thoughts\">What are your thoughts?  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve heard from the judges, legal scholars, and the NSSF. Now, we want to hear from you.
