In summary, another communist person in a black robe just made something up and infringed on the 2nd amendment
The should get squished on appeal.
Another moron that should be removed from her perch.
She skipped over the “shall not be infringed” part of the 2A.
Her reasoning is incoherent. Hope the case is appealed.
Judge Janet Bond Arterton
Don’t worry. This will get reversed in 50 years if the country still exists at that time.
Heller stated that any weapon in common use, and both semiautomatic weapons and so-called LCMs are in common use, are protected under the Second Amendment, and Bruen was very clear in stating that any Second Amendment behavior is presumptively protected unless history and tradition shows otherwise.
There are a few noble exceptions, but as a rule, there's your problem.
There are lotsa crazy-ass judges who care nothing for the law and everything for their own little opinion--but statistically, a disproportionate number aren't male.
Her “logic” is idiotic. It won’t stand.
This judge thinks we’re all stupid.
Inasmuch as the purpose of the 2A is legitimate self-defense by the citizens, the fact that criminals (which can include government entities seeking to deprive Americans of their lawful liberties) habitually use a weapon against the people is the main justification for the people having ready recourse to it.

[[, “assault weapons” and magazines over ten rounds are not arms protected by the Second Amendment]]
Very true! It’s right there in black and white in the second amendment......................../s!
Janet Bond Arterton is just old and tired.
My opinion is that any Judge who has an opinion overturned on appeal on Constitutional grounds, not merely procedural, should immediately be tossed off the bench and stripped of any license to practice law.

The bitch is going to retire October 15th. I guess she wanted one last shot at the Bill of Rights and America’s Freedom. Old hag.
“But, but — your honor! My AR-7 is only half as offensive as an AR-15!”
The judge is utterly incompetent. The Second Amendment isn’t about self-defense, it’s supposed to protect the right of the people to effectively form militia. “Military-styled” arms are EXACTLY what is protected, and there is no deference between a military arm and a self-defense arm, anyway. The weapons ARE in common use, the magazines are STANDARD in their capacity, and both are RARELY used in crime. Everything in her ruling is stupid and false.
“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a FREE STATE, the rights of the people to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS shall not be infringe
Thank God the framers of the Constitution had the divinely inspired intelligence to use the word ARMS instead of muskets which was the weapon of choice when it was written. Otherwise the second amendment would have become obsolete the minute the musket became obsolete.
An emergency hearing by SCOTUS would put an end to this real quick.
