NY Post ^

Posted on 08/05/2019 4:37:52 AM PDT by FR33DOM4ME

The Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment protects the right to own “guns in common use.” That doesn’t cover the semiautomatic weapons regularly used only in mass shootings.

The AK-47 is the most commonly used firearm in the world. This is how you know the NY Post editorial board is filled with women and effeminate men who think New Jersey is a frontier state.

Wouldn't "weapons regularly used" be the same as "guns in common use"?

Seems some Elites are too stupid to know when to quit oppressing as well.

Isn’t the AR15 one of the most common guns owned in America?

“In common use”...by whom?? Guess my copy of the Constitution was printed prior to this new text being voted on.

Does not the military COMMONLY utilize automatics??

If a Right isn’t unlimited (as Scalia once wrote), how is it still an inalienable Right (NOTE: He wasn’t discussing Rights(s) of one infringing upon another’s Right(s)). Some ‘great’, legal (C) mind *SMH*.

Lastly, of note, nobody EVER jives their ‘logic’ w/ the last 4 words of the 2nd: ....shall NOT be infringed.

Guess one needs an ‘elite/higher education’ to discern the TRUE meaning of the *plain* English written

Is the Post willing to trade their 1st Amendment for my 2nd?

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Where does this “in common use” Come from?

I’m all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.

The Dems, in their zeal for banning ‘assault weapons’, probably see this as a two-fer. If they are ultimately successful in some damaging anti-gun legislation, that’s a huge win.

If they twist President Trump enough so that he goes along with it, they will have finally found the Rosetta Stone, and it will be the end of his presidency, if not immediately, in 2020 for sure.

I was not aware that semi automatic weapons were "used only in mass shootings."

Kemalism has also sometimes been called “Socialism peculiar to Turkey” or “Turkish socialism”.
