National Mass: AR-15 and hi-cap mags not protected by the 2nd Amendment?

[OrdinaryJoe]

Looks like a Federal District judge in Massachusetts said that AR-15's and high capacity magazines are not protected by the 2nd Amendment. He quoted Scalia to support (or provide precedent?) to his decision.

Court rules Second Amendment doesn't protect AR-15, assault rifles and large capacity magazines

Judge: Assault weapons ban doesn't violate 2nd Amendment

In other words, an AR with a bolt would be banned. SICK.

Round limitation is incredibly subjective and arbitrary.

Ultimately the best argument is, if local law enforcement has it, so should we.

Wish the NRA or similar reps (with balls) would go over there and fight it.. seems more like everyone is sitting back and letting draconian states do whatever they want.

It seems that everybody has forgotten US v. Miller , "The Court cannot take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon." Seems to me that most suitable for military use would fall within relation to the efficiency of a militia.

Smith and Wesson has been building firearms in Massachusetts for a lot of years and many of the Guns they produce simply ain't legal there. Go figure???

But, S&W is still in business.

That's cause they sell to the rest of us, LEO and Military

Hard to believe the birth of this nation started in Massachusetts and seems like they want to be the state to initiate the death of said nation.

Well, I'll just leave this here. This court ruled that the second amendment does not cover High capacity magazines or "assault rifles," or so I read on the first amendment protected high speed broadband internet.

Hang on ladies and gentlemen this marks a sign of very turbulent times to come...

 

[Geardo]

This goes DIRECTLY against Miller. I hope the SC is forced to strike down this BS.

 

[maintainfreedom]

I'm gonna have to reread my Bill of Rights. I missed the clause in the 2A that said "except arms that 'resemble' military arms" part. Yep. It isn't there.

 

[Argonaut]

This is some idiot lower court judge. Means nothing.........the ruling will be slapped down if it survives long enough to get to the Supreme Court. You can judge shop to get any opinion you want.....doesn't prove or solve anything.

 

[DuneHopper]

Not that this is not important, but this has been said quite a few times by judges, it simply designed to get lefties riled up.
Lefties Recipe
Ingredients :

Add one shooting at a school
Mix with a mass shooting of three people at Youtube ( none died)
cook for 6 months until election time being sure
to add meaningless additives from Judges and counsel membes
and cook until there are only black pieces left in the cake.

 

[billdeserthills]

Election time is coming, I hope dems don't feel the need to be replaced like the last time they got behind serious gun banning

"Massachusetts District Court" All I need to know. MA has shown complete disregard for 2A rights, one of the most restrictive in the country. They're part of the 1st circuit which is made up of 4 liberal and 2 conservative judges - of course they'll uphold any challenge to the district court ruling. May have to go to SCOTUS.

They have been trying for years. Barrett .50 caliber rifles are built in CA but they're Not legal there. Again, go figure!

 

[nwslopoke]

On ballots they just list judges names. Is there a way to vet them or actually judge the judges? I know how plan to vote. I just don't want to accidentally support one of the loons.

I always say the Dems believe they have nothing to fear on the west coast. Keep calling, writing and blowing up social media. Right now they have no reason to stop.

Federal judges are appointed by the president and his staff usually with a congress persons recommendation . Trump has a bunch of them waiting for approval. It is one of the most important function of a president and we need to push our congressmen to get them approved. The Democrats have relied on dishonest revisionist judges since before WW2 to rule against the people when all else failed (look at prop 23 in California) and they are scared to death that 8 years of Trump appointments will doom there judicial control on the country.

I thought Ronnie Barrett moved shop to Tennessee?

Law abiding today, criminal tomorrow. Nothing more than the early phase of another final solution.

He may have. I just know that he refused to perform service work on the guns belonging to the State of CA after they said he could Not sell his product there. I hope he still refuses!
