That’s not up to the government to decide. The Bill of Rights belong to the American people. We’re supposed to determine what is and what is not a Second Amendment right. Not a bunch of pedophiles in black burkas.

The 2nd Amendment was specifically aimed at permitting The Average Joe the ZACT same weapons as the average member of regulary Gummint infantry.

What part of 2nd Amendment "The right of the people to keep and bear arms Shall not be infrindged" does this court fail to understand? Time to break and replace this Appeals Court.

“The majority concludes that the semiautomatic rifles banned by Maryland law are most useful in military service, even though they are not in regular use by any military force, including the United States Army,” Sometimes absurdity speaks for itself.

Weapons of war are exactly what are protected by the Second Amendment.

To: alancarp
Ridiculous. The whole point of having the arms
was so that the government could rely on the armed
populace (militia) for defense, and not upon a regular
standing army (which could be used to oppress the people, as the King had oppressed England).
To: SandRat
I believer an assault weapon HAS to have some setting that permits full-auto fire, however briefly.

‘Assault’ is a negative and biased term (verb/adverb) denoting an ACTION! How do guns assault people?
To: Enlightened1
Most Useful in MILITARY...
BUT NOT USED BY MILITARY !
I see a problem with LOGIC.

As opposed to an assault rock or pointy stick?

Moreover, any rights we do not have, the feds do not have too.
We the People delegate our authority and rights to them.
Therefore, if we do not have a right, then the Feds can’t have any assault rifles.
To: SandRat
There is no such thing as an assault rifle the libs and media think anything that’s black and has a trigger is an assault rifle.
