It should be a no-brainer, given that the Supreme Court already ruled that.
As Abel and Cain demonstrated, a rock can be assault weapon.
WTF is an assault weapon?
HuffPo urinalists and liberals everywhere can go and sob hysterically into their pillows.
Yes, I could have made a million with a selling booth set up outside their main office....selling CLEAN UNDERWEAR to the men and women workers. Lots of “soiled” pants and panties when they read this one!!!!!
HA!! Just love it.
But it is more than simply defending hearth and home.
It is defending the nation, or the populace.
The 2nd Amendment gives us the rights to any military weapons.
Yes, any.
If you can afford a stealth bomber, you gave the right to it.
Tank, nuke, machine guns, missiles.
It’s not about hunting or only protecting an individual domicile.
Honest people do, but should not regulate or ban firearms based on looks alone. Sadly many folks in the judiciary are no different.
The leftist anti-gunners want to ban hi-cap magazines and semi-auto firearms. This is just another incremental effort in that direction. Good for these judges.
I hate that idiotic term “assault weapon”, only hoplophobes use it.
Great news. Well needed.
Good!
On all accounts.
Assault Weapons
Wet water

Game Changer, coming up.
A court can recognize this fact. If it doesn’t, it is not a legitimate authority. Yay court for not being communistic.
Invalid arguments from politicians:
“those weapons don’t belong on the street”
“those are military weapons”

The Founding Fathers on the Second Amendment
“I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”
George Mason
Co-author of the Second Amendment
during Virginia’s Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788
“A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves …”
Richard Henry Lee
writing in Letters from the Federal Farmer to the Republic, Letter XVIII, May, 1788.
“The people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full posession of them.”
Zachariah Johnson
Elliot’s Debates, vol. 3 “The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution.”
“… the people are confirmed by the next article in their right to keep and bear their private arms”
Philadelphia Federal Gazette
June 18, 1789, Pg. 2, Col. 2
Article on the Bill of Rights
“And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the Press, or the rights of Conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; …”
Samuel Adams
quoted in the Philadelphia Independent Gazetteer, August 20, 1789, “Propositions submitted to the Convention of this State”
The Founding Fathers on Arms
“Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.”
George Washington
First President of the United States
“The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand arms, like laws, discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside … Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.”
Thomas Paine
“To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.”
Richard Henry Lee
American Statesman, 1788
“The great object is that every man be armed.” and “Everyone who is able may have a gun.”
Patrick Henry
American Patriot
“Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?”
Patrick Henry
American Patriot
“Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not.”
Thomas Jefferson
Third President of the United States
“The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that … it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; … “
Thomas Jefferson
letter to Justice John Cartwright, June 5, 1824. ME 16:45.
“The best we can help for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.”
Alexander Hamilton
The Federalist Papers at 184-8
Thanks for posting this. Fox is busy pushing establishment rino and anmnesty boy. First, you could tell when they totally ignored the bombshell Drudge Headline that Phyllis Shlafly thinks rubio is a liar and a deceiver and should never be president and then this huge gun decision. Where is FAUX??
Assault rifles are full auto. These are not assault rifles
What's interesting, though, is that those first four grafs you excerpted are flawless...something about performing an onerous task well in order to complete it as fast as possible (and so it doesn't come back to haunt)...but you're right about the hidden Schadenfreude.
Another court decision to be ignored until it is adjudicated again and again just like Chicago, then there will be new legislation and new challenges and meanwhile the people’s Constitutional rights will continue to be stomped on. The left never give up the right always does.
The right of self protection of yourself, your family and your property is God given.
