Give a person a black robe, pretty soon they get "airs and such", think they can arbitrarily pull laws out of their ass with which to force the general populace into compliance.

Not going to happen.

Those who govern do so at the consent of the governed, revocable, any time.

Molon Labe!

Judges and Politicians welcome first.

At the time of the founding of this nation, cannons were owned by citizens.

They were also the LARGEST ARMS OF THEIR TIME.

Looks like a young patsy shroeder, D colo

...the court seriously doubts that the banned assault long guns are commonly possessed for lawful purposes, particularly self-defense in the home, which is at the core of the Second Amendment right...

All I needed to know was summed up just in that one bit of disingenuousness right there.

[Cboldt]

That language is lifted right of the Supreme Court's "Heller" decision (which I am no fan of, for several reasons).

We must also address the District's requirement (as applied to respondent's handgun) that firearms in the home be rendered and kept inoperable at all times. This makes it impossible for citizens to use them for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional.

Give up your weapons, surrender your freedom.

And NFA defines unusual in this context only because NFA virtually prohibited several categories, making them unusual.

Banning something not uncommon, then justifying the ban because it became rare, is disingenuous.

[ctdonath2]

A footnote in Heller noted that if M16s could be banned, then the 2nd A would be meaningless - ergo, any such ban is flatly unconstitutional.

Being a footnote it carries no legal weight, but does constitute a “don’t go there” warning.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Speaking as a LEO....I hate this ruling.....I love my personally owned AR

At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...

[DocJhn]

When will these be deemed illegal by some idiot judge?
Bridgeport Mill
Clausing-Colchester Lathe
Drill Presses
Lagun Lathe
Surface Grinder
Cylinder Grinder
Vertical Bandsaw
Horizontal Bandsaw
Steel and Plastic
End result =
AR-15

[Boomer One]

Bad ruling. There's a worldwide war on non-muslims and it's coming to America. We're going to need those ARs and anything else we can get our hands on.

[NorthMountain]

The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms shall not be infringed.

Says nothing about dangerous or unusual.

This judge has absolutely no authority; he has violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. He has made himself a domestic enemy.

[MaxMax]

Yea, screw the oath she took to uphold the Constitution which is Supreme law.
She should be disbarred for treason.

[Bidimus1]

I thing the legal term is Boot Strapping.

[FreedomPoster]

Sounds like tyranny to me.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I have three of those! HA!

[B4Ranch]

>>Who’s going to force the police depts to destroy all of their AR-15’s?<<

I hope they take real good care of them. After all they are our rifles.!

[zeugma]

Hey, Judge! You want to ban these firearms? Then YOU — personally — go out and confiscate them! Do not order some lower-tier government employee to do it. YOU do it!

Why should she? There are plenty of government thugs who would be happy to do it for her.

Sadly, you'll even find folks here who will spout "the law is the law" nonsense.

Anyone attempting to collect weapons of any kind from the public is a clear and present danger to the republic, and should die a quick death at the hands of the public at large.
