There kind of is a constitutional right to concealed carry already whether the left wants to recognize it or not because they don't like guns.

Overturning Roe is an extremely bad idea, on the converse.

A few alternate scenarios to all the doom and gloom here.

I've said before Gorsuch has a pretty "squishy" record on abortion and Roberts is just chicken and never wants to be the decisive vote to bring about change. So I could see a path to it being upheld 5-4. There also could be compromise where Mississippi's ban stays in place but Roe is not overturned altogether. Which would be non-optimal but still better than a bunch of states being able to full on ban all abortion.

Also I'm a bit dubious as to the "waiting for the midterms" argument. If it actually generates enough outrage to ruin them in the midterms then they'll still get nuked in the 2024 midterms and lose the presidential elections if they wait. If they're gonna do it they might as well do it now, rip the bandaid off and take the L in 2022, and then hope things have cooled down enough for them to beat Biden or whoever in 2024. The point being, this makes me doubt the votes are actually there.

I'm honestly increasingly beginning to believe this is a good thing. It would drive D turnout up and R turnout down for the midterms.

What is the point of winning elections if you lose on the actual issues? This is the apex of the "politics as a spectator sport" mindset.
