"merely on the basis that they “may increase the public’s sense of safety.”

If that is truely a compelling state interest it can used to justify any encrochment on any of our constitutional rights. Including the freedom of speech vis a vis "provocative" speech.

OK, what if possessing an AR and full capacity magazines doesn't make me safer, but it makes me feel safer? Why are some feelings given more weight than my feelings?

We are either going to have freedom, or we are going to have federal judges, but we are not going to have both.

To liberals, feelings and not hurting feelings is all that matters. Who needs a brain?

merely on the basis that they “may increase the public’s sense of safety.”

In spite of the fact that weapons in the hands of the citizenry provides safety.

The world is full of stupid people.

And sadly, many of them are judges.

I’m emotioally upset at this decision, I find myself in the position of no longer being able to absorb or comprehend the propaganda that “smart” people among us are trying to force feed us on a daily basis!

makes the public feel safer as a result, that’s a substantial benefit,

A government ruled by whim is a government of non objective laws.Non objective law contradicts and defies the whole reason man needs government, which is to preserve and protect natural rights of individuals, and settle disputes.

Judge Manion's dissent looks water-proof to me, whereas Chief Judge Easterbrook's majority opinion seems as squishy as a wet sponge that has soaked up every bit of speculation the Brady Bunch et al. could supply.

Therefore, I'm guessing the odds favor a reversal of Easterbrook's opinion either by an en banc decision of the full 7th Circuit or by the SCOTUS.

Strange, isn't it, how federal court judges can just overrule state legislatures, voters and the Bill of Rights by saying that whatever it is they are overruling hurts their feelings?

Well I know I FEEL safer when

- gays and pedofiles are not allowed to live in my neighborhood.
- unions are not allowed to organize
- Muslims are not allowed to build a mosque
- ....

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

I am beginning to think that maybe we should just change the national anthem from Star-Spangled Banner to “Feelings”! That is how ridiculous this country has become courtesy of Libtards.

I would feel safer if liberals never again spoke in public. Does that mean we can legally infringe on the free speech rights of America’s enemies? By this judge’s logic, the First Amendment rights of democrats are at risk.
