Currently, Chief Justice Roberts is the Justice in charge of the 4th circuit.

They can have my military 7MM Remington Rolling Block when they pry it from my cold dead hands!

A bad call by the appeals court. Basically going with the theme that black semi-auto and able to make loud bangy noises is scary and should be banned.

Given the squirrelly makeup of the SCOTUS at the moment, this ruling has half a chance. Adding Gorsuch is the do-or-die.

Scalia is gone, how sure are we that Gorsuch will enforce Heller?

...If you really have to kill the enemy a good 30:06 will get the job done...

Goodbye to Grandpa’s M1 and M1 Carbine. !

The Court said the 2nd amendment doesn’t protect weapons of war. The idiots don’t care that when the Amendment was raitifed, all the colonists firearms were generally weapons of war that freed us from George III.

Off topic, but relating to the headline...I can’t stand how so many people these days (mostly millennials) start off their sentences with “So...”

To paraphrase President Trump: “The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes the Second Amendment away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!”

This is also 180 degrees around from the Miller decision in the 1930’s that upheld the NFA because the short-barreled shotgun was found to NOT be a military weapon.

Um, no. A lower court does not “gut” a higher court’s decision. It merely contradicts it until it gets slapped down by the higher court.

Could you imagine if we had a Majority of A Actual Americans running CONgress? They would have passed Legislation Over Riding this Inferior Court they “Ordained and Established” and then immediately Impeach and Remove all 10 Recalcitrant Tyrants in Black Robes.

Unfortunately having Americans in Congress doesn’t seem likely anytime soon. Just the Quisling Bastards

No they didn’t gut Heller. Heller is a SCOTUS decision. They FLOUTED and IGNORED Heller.

They will be overturned. Bigly.

Lower courts overturn SCOTUS often - usually there is no more money by this time to take the case back to SCOTUS, so the overturning/gutting stands.

“Judicial Tyranny Sanctuary Areas”

With the recent anti-Constitutional rulings by federal black robed tyrants (judges?) on Trump’s executive order as well as the 4th Circuit’s braindead anti-2nd Amendment “assault weapons” ruling, maybe we who revere the Constitution should declare (as suggested by radio host Mark Levin) our homes and cities “Judicial Tyranny Sanctuary Areas” where these authoritarian anti-Constitutional rulings and laws are IGNORED and RESISTED. Either there IS “rule of law” or there’s NOT. For this we can thank our (misnamed) “Progressives/Liberal” friends for the inspiration that any law or court ruling we don’t like can be summarily disobeyed and dismissed! #RustyIrony

"Maybe they should try and come get them (our guns)."
