Insane decision.
Residue of the Obamanation.
A Demoncrap appointed by Slick Willie in 1998.
Militias are civilian military units. I.e. they fight wars. The Constitution guarantees that militias are allowed to be armed with weapons designed for war.
The 2A uses the militia as the justification for the right of the people to be armed. The right is given to the people, not the militia.
Militias are people. If civilians cannot have weapons then militias are unconstitutionally disarmed.
US appeals court is not protected under the constitution.
Wacking wacky judges is actually free speech
Remember where the case originated:
Maryland Deputy Attorney General, Thiruvendran Vignarajah: we should ban guns altogether, period
Pound sand. Governor Abbot has already told them it will not happen in Texas. And they can come and take it. (if they are stupid enough to try.)
Exactly.
Impeach for incompetence, rinse, repeat...
Didn't some politician once ask a question something like "Why would anyone need more than 10 bullets?"
The decision misreads the Miller case, which, if construed in the narrowest possible way, said that *only* military weapons are protected by the Second Amendment.
The second amendment was written explicitly to protect the right of citizens to own weapons of war.
That’s what the “Well regulated militia” phrase means, where “regulated” means “trained”.

MILLER: Here are the 81 specific gun models banned in Maryland
By Emily Miller - The Washington Times - Friday, May 17, 2013
Gov. OMalley Signs Assault Weapon and Handgun Ban
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Gov. Martin OMalley gleefully signed into law Thursday a foolish gun-control measure that arbitrarily bans certain make and model firearms. There seems no rhyme or reason to the list, other than he picked guns that either sound or look scary.
Broadly, any rifle that has two of three characteristics - folding stock, grenade launcher or flash suppressor is considered an assault weapon and now illegal in Maryland. The statute also makes specific pistols, rifles and, shotguns or a copy regardless of the producer or manufacturer banned in the Free State. They are as follows:
Manufacturers A: AA Arms AP9 semiautomatic pistol;American Arms Spectre da Semiautomatic carbine; AK47 in all forms; Algimec AGM1 type semiauto; AR 100 type semiauto; AR 180 type semiauto; Argentine L.S.R. semiauto; Australian Automatic Arms SAR type semiauto; AutoOrdnance Thompson M1 and 1927 semiautomatics;
Manufacturers B-C: Barrett light .50 cal. semiauto; Beretta AR70 type semiauto; Bushmaster semiautomatic pistol; Bushmaster semiauto rifle; Calico models M100 and M900; CIS SR 88 type semiauto;Claridge HI TEC C9 carbines; Claridge HITEC semiautomatic pistol; Colt AR15, CAR15, and all imitations except Colt AR15 Sporter HBAR rifle;

Wasn’t there a ruling once that said shotguns were not used in wars, so they weren’t protected?
A decenting view...
Yes. It is pure BS.
Funny how judges who are sworn to uphold the law feel they should be able to ignore the basic law of the land. (the Constitution)
Judges such as that are clearly the domestic enemies I once swore an oath to defend the country against.
Yep, Idiots.
US v Miller 1939 supremes court decision says ONLY military style weapons are protected under second amendment.
While I disagree on this, as any good weapon can be used to defend oneself, family and nation. It goes against this latest travesty by the liberal court.
Amen worth repeating
