"In the ruling, the court said the language in the county's ordinance was meant to promote public health and safety rather than to restrict the right to bear arms."
The court lied.
It's atrocious that the false claim of promoting public health and safety can be used as an excuse to trump the right to arms.
Ask the hundreds and hundreds of members of the public who line up outside to attend gun shows if they believe that the show threatens their health and safety. They will laugh at such nonsense.
As 99% of the gun owners in this country know, gun restrictions restrict the right to keep and bear arms. Any benefit to public health and safety that results, if there is any at all, is purely coincidental and greatly offset by the damage done to our lives and our freedom.
If the false claim of "promoting public health and safety" can be used as an excuse to ignore the Second Amendment, then there is no Second Amendment.
