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” .

The military uses shotguns. Like the ones hunters use and use to protect their homes.

The ruling is ridiculous and seems to me to be one that is really unenforceable because of the need to have some clear definition of what constitutes a “military looking.” To use this law otherwise delves into subjectivity rather than clear, objective standards.

I’ve posted this before, but look up the reasoning the Supreme Court came up with to make short barreled shotguns basically illegal.

Save for the bayonet, your deer gun looked no different than your military weapon. In the militia, it was likely the same gun.

Most if the Cannons used by the Patriots in the Revolutionary War were Privately owned.

Do you need a Background Check to own a Howitzer?

The 4th Circuit rules that Militias cannot use Military appearing weapons.

I guess this is okay because Obama decided that our armies cannot use military appearing soldiers anymore.

Liberals say that it is impossible for the Government to Deport 11 Million Illegal Invaders.

Those same Liberals think the Government should be able to Confiscate 300 Million Firearms from American Citizens.

Good afternoon.

“The point being that the ruling states that militias cannot have military grade weapons. “

The 4th circuit court can kiss my ass.

Try and get the U.S. Marshalls to enforce it.

This is insane. George Washington, who had a lot to do with our having a Constitutional Federation, today, openly advocated that we adopt the Swiss system, of having military grade weapons in every home, with the teen-aged boys trained in their use. Do these Judges really believe they have a better understanding of what the Second Amendment was intended to provide than the greatest American?
