They know that’s not true.

[US_MilitaryRules]

When are they going to go after the news media for free speech? You know we get the information way to fast. It needs to be distributed be people on horses! Ban the internet! lol

[Dead Corpse]

They can “declare” whatever they want. They are wrong and in violation of our Constitutionally protected Rights under the 2nd, 10th, and 14th Amendments.

“Are AR-15s most useful in military service? Considering that no branch of the military equips service members with semi-automatic AR-15s, I’m gonna go out on a sturdy limb and say “no.” The semi-automatic rifles banned by California have great utility for hunting, self-protection, and sport, but they’re not the weapon of choice for our armed services.”

So by his argument M16s ARE protected by the 2nd Amendment.

[gundog]

It wasn’t until thirty years later that the federal government imposed a ban on the manufacture and sale of arms it considered “assault weapons,” and that prohibition expired in 2004.

Nothing in that ban addressed the semi-automatic capability of the weapons. Features such as bayonet lugs, pistol grips, and muzzle brakes were banned.

[MeganC]

Once upon a time the British banned assault weapons.

We shot them.

When the Bill of Rights was written, the Founders were perfectly fine with private ownership of cannon and Naval warships.

muskets were the standard field issue of the day... the equivalent of todays M4

are they ok with the average citizen owning an M4 ?

of course, it doesn’t matter whether or not they’re ok with it... as it’s not up to them how a person defends themselves against whatever threat they encounter.

[Tacrolimus1mg]

It’ll have to go to SCOTUS, at least in the case of IL. SCOIL already gave the green light to ban basically all semi-auto rifles, and any already owned by the public have to be registered with the state by January 1, 2024. I think the refusal rate will be rather high.

[Harpotoo]

I can assault you with a can of spam:-)

[rickomatic]

Just like leftists always do, they lie about the verbiage or change definitions to words they do t like. The Supreme Court decisions refer to weapons “in common use for all legal purposes” The lying left conveniently made up their own definition that appears nowhere in any Supreme Court ruling. If changes “in common use for all legal purposes” to “common use for self defense”.
Evil liars.

[butlerweave]

Soros controlled , bought and paid for Democrat AGs ?

[pierrem15]

They're deliberately twisting the "in common use" phrase from Heller to mean arms actually used in self-defense vs. merely possessed for self-defense.

It's a legal sophistry, but it's being used by them and some circuits (like the 7th in Chicago) to gut Heller and Bruen by creating a classification of "military arms" civilians are not allowed to have.

[sauropod]

In an amicus brief filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Miller v. Bonta, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell and the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, D.C., Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington contend that California’s ban doesn’t violate the Second Amendment because the arms that are prohibited aren’t protected by the Constitution in the first place.

Too cute by half.

[Political Junkie Too]

We know from The Federalist Papers that the second amendment covered any weapons that the people as militia needed to counter a standing army.

If an army invading a state had it, the people were allowed to have it, too, because they were "necessary to the security of a free state."

[Terry L Smith]

ok, drop all the sales of what might be assault weapons to all law enforcement in those states.

[stylin19a]

Wonder why SCOTUS now doesn’t have original jurisdiction ?

[M Kehoe]

Imho these people are not nucking futs, they’re dangerous and very evil.

“Democrat AGs Declare”
Well, there’s “your Democracy” at work. This is the democracy they always say they are fighting to save.
Just declare it, and it is so.
