Roberts “Heller Decision” hailed as victory by NRA, demonstrates the true reality of that group.
Roberts included a new definition of “Arms”, see definitions in the pdf, relevant section begins” then, as now” and has no basis in history or fact, BUT, mirrors the language in the UN Treaty,”convention on light weapons”, within the catch-all OBAMA “Global poverty bill”, co-sponsored by Snowe.
Is it relevant to note young Obama mentored by gay pedophile, Snowe long time lesbian, and Roberts has rumors, as well as a moment of excitement (sexual?) when he flubbed the oath? Perverts have proclivity for perfidy.
NRA, GOA, JPOF all are ignoring this oncoming disarming.
@ pg 53? of PDF, new definition begins: “then, as now..”
and removes any firearm of any age manufactured for, copies of, or designs derived from any military weapon.
Kiss the pre-1898 antiques good by, and note all bolt action are design derived from military designs.
From Heller:
"The term [ARMS] was applied, then as now, to weapons that were not specifically designed for military use and were not employed in a military capacity.
I think you are very much misunderstanding the decision. There is no implication that "Arms" as used in the Second Amendment consists ONLY of weapons that were not specifically designed for military use.
The Heller decision broadened the understanding of which "Arms" are protected and for which purposes such arms might be kept. There was no attempt to completely define the term. It was only necessary to establish that Heller's handgun was protected. It was thus necessary to show that "Arms" could include a handgun intended for self-defense.
