Second Ammendment Good news development!

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.

[Lurkinanloomin]

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.

[RC one]

These kind of laws are exactly what Democrats means when they talk about “reasonable restrictions”.

[Sasparilla]

...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?

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

Like in California?

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.

a judge who takes their oath of office seriously

[frog in a pot]

…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. (2ndA)
…there is no constitutional right to carry a concealed weapon in public.” (9th Circuit)

Those two statements are clearly inconsistent.

Although the open carrying of guns may clash with contemporary sensibilities, it is the mode of publicly bearing arms that is most clearly protected by the Second Amendment. (this decision.)

Concealed carry by definition would clash with even fewer sensibilities and under this reasoning ought to raise even less of an issue and fully satisfy the 2ndA.

Thank you for the post, 09. The decision will no doubt rattle gun-grabbers.

[Talisker]

As the Supreme Court noted in Heller, "the majority of the 19th-century courts to consider the question held that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment or state analogues."

"State analogues."

Dear God, it's right there in plain sight.

[fwdude]

“...shall not be infringed” actually means something.

[Flag_This]

"Manglona notes the perseverance of the plaintiff in this case, a former U.S. Army Ranger named Paul Murphy who represented himself through years of litigation."

"Rangers Lead the Way!

[sergeantdave]

“If these restrictions has been allowed to stand, it may have served to undermine future 2A rights on mainland USA.”

That’s nice that this judge “allowed” us to exercise our natural law, God-given rights to bear arms. However, another judge could goosestep along and take away our rights to bear arms.

It’s way past time to tell judges, legislators and bureaucrats that we will exercise and USE the 2nd amendment as we see fit, and God help you if you get in the way.

[arrogantsob]

Won’t this be appealed to the whole Ninth Circuit? And be overturned.

[zerosix]

YEAH! I completely missed that one!

Thanks for posting. My good 2nd A. friend failed to aprise me of this newest ruling.

Moving toward closer to a free and just society!

This news comes at just the right time, lest we wind up "electing" the first of many dictators on our road to the dust bin of history.
