**we have no power to extend Second Amendment protections to weapons of war**
What’s the part about the militia?
But when the 2nd Amendment was written the musket or Kentucky long rifle hanging over your fireplace was a high tech weapon of war for it’s time. Judges, truly the most tyrannical and liberty hating branch of the US government.
Ok, oh wise judge.
Now that you have defined these 45 types of weapons, AND 11 round magazines as ‘weapons of war’...
We should expect that law enforcement, to include all federal law enforcement and agencies, will NOT possess these weapons or 11 round magazines, right?
After all - they are ‘weapons of war’...why would our gubmint need them?
Or the arming of Privateer ships. Ownership of cannon, etc.
Gorsuch must be on SCOTUS before it hears this case.
Very good point - colonial muskets were quite literally yanked from the fireplace and placed into service as ‘weapons of war’.
Remember the first revolution started when the King came looking for our cannons not our muskets.
Ping
Is it actually possible to buy an “Assault Weapon”? A full-auto M-4, AK, etc? Really?
This judge needs to be removed from the bench immediately.
The Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights belongs to the American people not a bunch of GOVERNMENT judges. It’s up to us to tell the GOVERNMENT what these rights mean. It’s not up to the government to tell us. The Bill of Rights were written to protect the people from the GOVERNMENT.
My 1911, with a 7 round capacity is a "weapon of war" if one acknowledges that it was the official sidearm in its day - the "judge" is obviously a "Constitutional scholar" in the same vein that Obama is....I would wager that if his ruling stands, he will try to help expand it to any weapon ever used in war time....
I guess we all better turn in out muzzle loaded muskets and bayonets. “Brown Bessie” is the number one choice of gangbangers for their drive-bys
Yes,it’s possible-with a lot if effort.FBI background check,fingerprinting,and a sign off by the local sheriff.BATF takes about 6 months to approve the transfer,but yea it’s doeable.
Its precisely why its there.
This country would not exist if it were not for the founding fathers using private weapons of war to fight. Private cannons they personally owned to fire on the british. The guns our citizens owned and used were cutting edge technology at the same level of british army troops.
We have to get rid of these country destroying people infesting this nation at all levels.
MILLER: Here are the 81 specific gun models banned in Maryland

An “Assault Weapon” is any of those “scary looking black automatic machine gun rifles” that shoots bullets every time you pull the trigger...
Just ask the left...They’ll tell you...
Better yet, ask Gersh Kuntzman...
Well then — we have to ban:
The Art of War by Sun Tzu (and all it’s methods)
That’s a weapon of war.
Any Psyops(and electronic spying) and “sanctions (including boycotts)” and ... till we get to the MSM!
