In 2016 SCOTUS handed down a unanimous decision in a case called "Caetano v Massachusetts". In that case the Massachusetts state Supreme Court upheld a criminal conviction of Caetano for possessing an illegal "stun gun". The court ruled that stun guns weren't protected under the 2nd Amendment because they didn't exist when the Amendment was adopted *and* because they're not used by the military.

The SCOTUS ruling stated,clear as day,that weapons that aren't used by the military and those that didn't exist in the late 1700s are *absolutely* protected. At one point in the decision the judges referred to the Massachusetts court's logic in upholding the conviction as "frivolous".

Seems to me that that decision can be used to strike down laws prohibiting certain weapons,certain magazines,etc.

WOW! We actually won something here in Colorado?
Would this also nullify the statewide magazine restrictions and other crap laws they passed between 2013 and now?

“If guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns”. And who are the worst of the outlaws today? Radical activist democrats and their complicit rino accomplices. Make no mistake, once you are disarmed you will be executed socially, financially and possibly physically. Remember, the wokefolk don’t take prisoners. Even when it’s one of their own.

This is freakin awesome. I credit you to a small degree, because you write about and motivate us to be activists.

subsequently, the TRO was extended to multiple additional jurisdictions that are trying to institute unconstitutional anti-gun laws ...

https://www.timescall.com/2022/08/30/judge-grants-temporary-restraining-order-preventing-boulder-county-from-enforcing-gun-control-measures

A temporary restraining order issued by a U.S. district court judge on Tuesday prevents Boulder County from enforcing most of its newly instituted gun control measures.

According to the ruling, Boulder County can no longer enforce its ordinances banning assault weapons and large-capacity magazines. However, Judge Charlotte Sweeney said the temporary restraining order did not apply to the county’s rapid fire trigger ordinance.

Loveland-based Rocky Mountain Gun Owners filed similar suits against Louisville, Boulder and Boulder County earlier this month.

The original lawsuits all cite a recent ruling in the group’s case against Superior, which was filed in July. The judge in that case granted the group a temporary restraining order prohibiting Superior from enforcing the new gun laws.

The laws need to change so that politicians who violate inalienable rights are personally charged for the legal fees of both the defendants and the plaintiffs, not the taxpayers.

These politicians are stealing from the taxpayers and need to reimburse them for every penny.

Court ruled killing babies is OK.
We had to live with that for 50 years.

Court rules 2nd Amndt protects a G-d given right.
The Left simply disregards it.

Gotta hand it to ‘em.
They just don’t give a schiite about any rule/law they don’t want.

The irony is that the Demoncrats removed the state restrictions on local gun control to let a thousand bans bloom, but it looks like that is allowing the courts to move in and apply Bruen to quash the restrictions more quickly than they otherwise would have been able.
