She pointed to the Supreme Court’s Bruen (2022) decision and said, “When you look at the historical analysis — and Justice Thomas lays this out very clearly — it is clear that semiautomatic rifles of the nature of the AR-15 are protected by the Constitution and the Second Amendment.”
Dhillon noted that she sent a letter to Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) warning the DOJ would file a lawsuit if the governor signed the “assault weapons” ban legislation which was passed by the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature. Dhillon noted that instead of signing the bill by the April 13 deadline, Spanberger “sent it back to the legislature with some minor, technical edits that don’t cure the problems identified in my letter.”
Dhillon went on to note that Spanberger did sign other gun controls, including a “ghost gun” ban, and indicated that law is “going to be analyzed under ATF regulations.”
She said that another bill signed into law by Spanberger “effectively removes immunity from gun manufacturers.” Dhillon described the law as “very concerning” and noted that “it is really designed to put gun manufacturing out of business in our country, and I think it’s inconsistent with federal law because… the right to carry, the right to bear arms, the right to have them in your home and enjoy them for lawful purposes is meaningless if you’re not able to acquire those firearms.”

Automatic rifles like the ORIGINAL AR-15 are protected by the Constitution.
Then introduce legislation to end the NFA of 1934, the GCA of 1968, shutter the ATF. Introduce legislation to get rid of the NICS system because it became apparent that it’s an abysmal failure every time someone goes on a mass shooting and the best the FBI can do is bleat “The shooter was on our radar”. Talk is cheap.
“effectively removes immunity from gun manufacturers.”
Then they need to pass the same for fork/spoon manufactures, soda pop, energy drinks, candy makers, fast food restaurants, highway and road contractors, knives, screw drivers, pillows and pillowcases, hammers: basically anything that can be related to a death. See how that goes over...
exactly
it is the right to bear arms, not the right to bear muskets. And would also include swords in my opinion
She specifically said "semi-automatic", and the NFA does address fully automatic so you would need to keep that part of it.
Of course they are! 🙄
Bruen says in common use. Not ‘in common use as currently used by the United States military’ which would both knock out AR-15, M-16, and be an ever-shifting landscape of things mostly inaccessible to citizens.
All this VA (and other communist-run state) stuff is trying to get some case law that limits the ‘textual’ and ‘historical’ step in Bruen to somehow mean the opposite of what 2A means and what the Supreme Court wrote. Or make us go broke chasing them around in courts.
One does not understand how it is that Harmeet Dhillon is not yet Attorney General of the United States.
What makes it complicated?
We're not getting Kavanaugh's "percolation" of cases reversed and remanded by Bruen, we're getting more turds floating to the top of the leftist appellate court cesspools.
2A says “arms”. 2A says “shall not be infringed”.
Bruen was a cowardly attempt to dodge the truth.
it is encouraging that the federal administration is actively seeking to protect American citizens from “gun control” bullsheit at the state level
we need to get states out of this sort of dangerous, pernicious (and blatantly anti-American) interference with our republic’s Constitutionally-recognized individual liberties.
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
- Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
“To disarm the people...[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them.”
- George Mason, referencing advice given to the British Parliament by Pennsylvania governor Sir William Keith, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, June 14, 1788
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.”
- Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.”
- Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1778
Can’t get her through confirmation.
I was going to write that, but you got it out, first.
Yea, that’s nice. MEANWHILE hundreds of thousands of gun owners are being denied their constitutional rights to purchase and keep these guns by demorat traitors in demorat run States.
the SC NEEDS TO FING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
She should be our next AG.
Thank you MS Dhillon. Right again!
