Supreme Court Declines To Hear Challenge [CONNECTICUT’S BAN ON POPULAR SEMI-AUTOMATIC FIREARMS]
DailySignal ^ | June 20, 2016 | Connecticut Citizens Defense League, Inc. Blog

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA – The United States Supreme Court declined on Monday to review a lower court’s ruling refusing to strike down on Second Amendment grounds Connecticut’s ban on certain semi-automatic firearms including the most popular rifles in the Nation. The Connecticut Citizens’ Defense League (CCDL) and other plaintiffs challenged Connecticut’s ban in 2013, arguing that the ban openly flouts the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, which held that law-abiding citizens have an individual right to keep commonly owned firearms in their homes for self-defense.

1. court not doing its job, needs to be replaced ASAP
2. by not doing its job, court is ‘denying’ American citizens their constitutionally-recognized liberties...and enabling the growing (Islamo-)fascist dictatorship in USA...

prepare to defend your friends, family, and self
street to street
house to house
its coming.... Obama’s brought in another million +/- Islamonazi terrrorists ....many of whom appear to be spending their days-on-welfare at the rifle range.......
and these states are trying to disarm you....

Fred LeBrun: U.S. Supreme Court to decide SAFE Act

FRED LEBRUN | October 24, 2015

EXCERPT:

It seems gun control is a never ending source of debate, conjecture and opinion, from all directions. A lot of fire, little light.

On the legal front, last week the second circuit federal appeals court delivered its long anticipated decision largely affirming the constitutionality of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s SAFE Act, but preserved the exception carved out by the lower court judge in Buffalo pertaining to the number of rounds allowed in a handgun magazine.

The overall decision was consistent with previous second circuit decisions on New York’s gun laws. An appellate court tossed activist Bob Schulz’s state constitution challenge to the SAFE Act, also predictably.

Now the challenge to the SAFE Act will move forward to the long-awaited last stop, the U.S. Supreme Court, because a number of federal circuit courts across the country have given contradictory rulings on similar material.

The next big pronouncement on interpreting the Second Amendment by the high court is on the horizon.

Who knows where that will lead, from very little change to monumental upheaval. If the latter occurs, the next wave of state law changes will be a tidal wave, with state court challenges and rulings to follow.

They don’t reveal how they select cases however, they rarely take on two cases of similar, general, subject matter within a few years of each other.

It is a highly educated surmise. It did not get the votes for a hearing which means the American judges abstained for a reason. It can come back after January. You will see a lot of this.

To get a decent USSC Justice we need to elect Donald Trump and not “stand on principle”

What Principal would that be that? Jihad?

yes indeed, nobody we know with firearms will ever let the govt confiscate them..... as they say, Obama/Hilary are not King George! (much closer to Hitler and Stalin, and history teaches what happened to people when they let Hitler take their defenses away from them)

I realize junior high school is out for the summer; your attempt to highjack the thread w/ stupid, is not appreciated, especially when there are serious events taking place now.

It’s going to take a lot of $$$, and a lot of patience
