U.S. District Court judge Overturns several firearms restrictions affecting the Northern Mariana Island US Territory.
If these restrictions has been allowed to stand, it may have served to undermine future 2A rights on mainland USA.
Well there’s at least one judge that can read.
Ping !

I know that sounds silly, but we haven’t been winning much of anything during the last eight years. Now we’re starting to seem some small victories.
Excellent.
These kind of laws are exactly what Democrats means when they talk about “reasonable restrictions”.
...If these restrictions has been allowed to stand, it may have served to undermine future 2A rights on mainland USA...
This was a lone Federal Judge. This undoubtedly will be expedited to the 9th Circuit Appeals Court where it will most likely decide that Constitutional “Intermediate” scrutiny was incorrectly applied, and find a “Rational Basis,” whatever bizarre one they come up with, should be applied and uphold the harsh laws. After all, it’s the 9th Circuit.
We have something called the Mariana island?
How are they relate to the US?
"Shall not be infringed" is finally having its day in a still uncorrupted court.
What exactly is a commonwealth? what rights do they have?
some cheery news today :)
Move her to the top of the Supreme Court list for President Trump !
The Supreme Court will take care of this “travesty” when Hillary makes her first appointment
The people are US Citizens. The commonwealth has no representation in Congress. Beyond that ... the articles at Wiki are pretty good. Have a look at them.

Yup, Obola and the left were using hoping that these US territory 2A restrictrictions would serve as president for a future attack on US mainland 2A rights.
RE: “These kind of laws are exactly what Democrats means when they talk about “reasonable restrictions”.”
Like in California?
We have two territories in this island chain
Guam since 1898 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guam
and the Northern Marianas Islands (the subject of the article) since 1978 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Mariana_Islands
The islands are home to roughly 200,000 American citizens, an important airfield, and a very useful Navy base. They also play host to over a million tourists from Australia and the Far East each year.
But in the sparsely populated Marianas it will be much simpler to use the second amendment solution to remove the oppressors who would violate it. Here on the mainland you can imagine how many RAT politicians, appointees and bureaucrat functionaries would have to be removed before they could flee into hiding.
It depends
