Every good law-abiding (real law) should own one. Wish I did.

Upon review of all the parties’ evidence, 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,

He has already gotten it wrong with the first sentence. The 2A states in the beginning its purpose, "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.". And who is the Militia? By FEDERAL LAW, it is comprised of all able bodied citizens.

Bzzzz! Wrong answer. Very few of the total in circulation show up at crime scenes.

particularly self-defense in the home, which is at the core of the Second Amendment right,

Bzzzz! Wrong answer. Defense against tyranny, such as Judge Blake, is at the core of the Second Amendment.

and is inclined to find the weapons fall outside Second Amendment protection as dangerous and unusual.

They certainly can be dangerous, especially to tyrants. They are only unusual in places where they are restricted.

Oh, and they are not "assault weapons" and Blake should be removed for using political rhetoric to support her pre-determined conclusion.

Wrong ditz. The core is to protect us from idiots like you.

[GeronL]

Some muskets were rather large and crew-served too

[Lurker]

I don’t give a rats ass what some black robed tyrant says.

Period.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Too many dang idiots on the bench.

[lowbridge]

Appointed by clinton, but from wiki: “She was confirmed by the United States Senate on August 11, 1995”

Everybody, repeat after me: “thank you, Bob Dole”

[Bidimus1]

Appeal fodder.

They are not NFA which defines unusual under the law as it now stands.

That's funny, I thought the 2nd amendment was all about fighting against tyranny??? (And it seems like the AR and AK long guns would be really handy for that purpose.)

Come to think of it, the recent goings-on in St. Louis are a good example of where those guns might come in handy as well.

*rounds*

[mosaicwolf]

OK Judge. That’s your opinion. How do you propose to enforce it?

[The Toll]

She is afraid.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Gun laws don’t apply to the JBTs. Left wing judges like this believe that the government should have an absolute monopoly on power.

[Lurking Libertarian]

This ruling has already been struck down by the SCOTUS. This judge is delusional.

The Supreme Court's ruling in Heller, which first recognized an individual right to own guns, said that the Second Amendment didn't apply to "dangerous and unusual" weapons, but didn't clarify what they meant by that. Most lower courts since Heller have said the exception applies to fully-automatic weapons, but SCOTUS has yet to revisit the issue.

[stephenjohnbanker]

The judge is a leftist with a tiny brain. How some pass the bar exam is the great question.

[JimRed]

Radcliffe, Harvard Law, Clinton appointee. Figures!

[Lumper20]

Obama’s DHS is loaded with assualt weapons.
