It seems too nebulous and overly broad to qualify as a legal definition.

In case you were not aware of it, the 4th circuit court ruled that the 2nd amendment does not apply to military appearing weapons. Now, this is a curious ruling in that [1] it applies constitutional standards that are not present (the appearance of a firearm), [2] a ruling of 10-4 in favor of this (heavily stacked by liberal progressive -socialists), [3] affects the 2nd amendment, [4] which the liberals say does not apply to individuals but to militias.
What is not reported in the media (aside from just about everything regarding this) is that the 2nd amendment applies to both individuals and state militias. The point being that the ruling states that militias cannot have military grade weapons. Yet militias are para-military organizations.
WTF?
I see the USA as going through a transformation process.
Not only that the old political parties are being eviscerated and changed, but that the entire system needs to be overhauled and changed. Look, you have the 4th circuit court (staffed by Clinton and Obama appointees) ruling that state militias can’t use military style weapons. You have the 9th circuit court ruling that the President has no authority given to him by Congress unless non-Americans approve of his actions, and you have a bloated bureaucracy that controls everything in the lives of Americans, and they are unelected, and cannot be fired. WTF?
Things are changing, and it will get worse before it gets better.

Until Trump fills the 100 vacant judges positions around the country, we will continue seeing this. I know he has a ton to do but this would have been done already had I been President. (LOL).
This doesn’t mean that those awesome guns will be banned in every state over which the 4th circuit has jurisdiction, does it?
But other government gun-grabers have argued that the militia referred to, and protected, in the 2nd amendment are actually the individual state National Guard units.
So now the 4th circuit court bars the militia (National Guard?) from having scary military looking weapons but does not bar the individual citizen from owning them.
Yet it i s the individual citizen that comprises the militia.
Has any liberal ever thought through to what the final and true effect of their actions really are?
I doubt it.
.
That is not what the court said at all.
This is complete click-bait BS
Worse than that. I take fallen branches, strip the bark, sand and varnish and make them into quarter staffs, bows, etc. All of them could be considered “weapons of war”, according to the dumb nuts in black robes.
F them.
Someone better versed in the legalities may have a better take, but I believe that it is only Maryland - http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/02/26/4th-circuit-assult-weapons-look-like-military-weapons/
Does this mean my wife can have a pink full auto weapon??
There’s a nice AR SBR on the Youtube that is painted like legos ...
They completely misread a small part of the Heller decision that says some weapons designed for the military aren’t covered, by which they were referring to things like artillery and crew fired machine guns. They extended that to mean anything that looks like the army could use it, completely turning the meaning of the 2A and Heller on it’s head.
Your blog ain’t news
These pedophiles, lesbians and fags on the Fourth Circus have got to go. Americans need to stand up and teach the bastards who the Bill of Rights belong to. It isn’t the sexual deviants in the U.S. Government.
I thought the message to be very powerful. So I wanted to find where this sign is / was located.
All I found was:
In 1917, at 49, {William Tyler} Page wrote the "American's Creed," as a submission to a nationwide patriotic contest suggested by Henry Sterling Chapin, of New York, which was inspired by a fervor at the beginning of the American entry into the First World War.

by William Tyler Page
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
–Written 1917, accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918
Did any of the weapons used by Washington’s men resemble the weapons used by a military ? That should be the nexus in deciding what weapons can be allowed a “militia” .
Is that what the “new Army” issues today? /s
The first battle (Lexington/Concord) began when the British tried to seize the colonists’ weapons (including cannons) they’d stored there.
