Lying by Omission at Gateway Pundit

Bad enough that we have to put up with the continuous and egregious lying from the "press."

Now Gateway Pundit joins the lying-by-omission brigade, too.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, appointed by Barack Obama, ruled that an illegal immigrant has the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution....

Yes.  There's a reason for that:

...He and his lawyers have fought the charge, arguing that the gun was for self-defense and citing a Supreme Court ruling on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, that New York’s law was unconstitutional and that the ability to carry a pistol in public was a constitutional right....

But here's the language which really counts:

 ...this Court finds that, as applied to Carbajal-Flores, Section 922(g)(5) is unconstitutional,” Coleman added....

"As applied" means in this specific case.  There were, and will be, OTHER specific cases in which the statute may apply, but not in this one.

After SCOTUS' Bruen ruling, Carbajal-Flores is allowed to possess.  Read the post linked here; Carbajal-Flores had the weapon for self-defense, had zero previous interaction with the police, there were riots going on at the time...........you get the picture.  

Gateway should have presented a wholly-honest headline.  They didn't.
