We know from The Federalist Papers that the second amendment covered any weapons that the people as militia needed to counter a standing army.

If an army invading a state had it, the people were allowed to have it, too, because they were "necessary to the security of a free state."

“Democrat AGs Declare”
Well, there’s “your Democracy” at work. This is the democracy they always say they are fighting to save.
Just declare it, and it is so.

The same people who want to ban assault weapons are the same ones who define what is an assault weapon. But their security teams are heavily armed with those same weapons.

SCOTUS has appellate jurisdiction but not original jurisdiction in this matter

Art III, Section 2, paragraph 2:

“In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.”

The SCOTUS needs to declare that all gun laws are null and void. Also explain that any attempt at introducing a gun law is a violation of the constitution and is punishable with extreme severity.

The muzzle loading musket was the assault weapon of its day, and that was covered by the second. That foolish opinion has no standing.

and muzzle brakes were banned.
= = =

I thought it was ‘flash hiders’ that were banned.

And muzzle brakes were OK. And sometimes the only way to tell the difference was by military part description and part number.

the USAF green M-16 I carried had a selector switch for either ‘full auto’ or ‘single fire’. It was something, considerring the only rifle I shot before that was a Remington x40 single shot target rifle in.22 long rifle, as part of OtisAFB Junior NRA.

AR-15s are ONLY semi-automatic.Any designer of ‘assault weapons’ would be one huge grabassticlizardzit, were he to design single shot weapons only.

DemocRat AGs, every single one of them. It is no secret that Rats want to restrict your ability to mount an effective counter to those who would round up dissidents and send us to re-education camps.

NFA is unconstitutional on its face.


For those who don’t know, NFA was passed by Congress in 1934 after the attempted assassination of President-elect FDR and originally covered handguns as well as machine-guns, sawed-off shotguns etc. It didn’t actually ban these weapons but imposed a hefty tax ($200) to possess them.

The ban on sawed-off shotguns was taken to SCOTUS by a man who died before the case reached them. SCOTUS ruled that since sawed-off shotguns weren’t used by the military, they weren’t protected by the 2nd Amendment. Ironically exactly opposite to the argument now being offered to ban AR-15s.

2A is not about any specific weapon.
It encompasses all weapons and simply orders the government not to interfere with the citizens owning any of them.

thanx...i know...you're right...
There are 2 different decisions in 3 like cases.
Heller is already in the bag (course, heller, D.C. wasn't a state issue).
The other 2 (CA & IL) seem to be in conflict with heller.
Seems ripe for at least a writ of certiorari right now.

jack smith just did and it was fast track granted.
