NYC Man Convicted Over Gunsmithing Hobby After Judge Says 2nd Amendment 'Doesn't Exist in This Courtroom'

Red State ^ | 4/22/24 | Jeff Charles

A Brooklyn man has been convicted of 13 weapons charges after having been arrested and charged in 2022 for building his own firearms. Dexter Taylor’s ordeal could become a landmark Second Amendment case in light of the Bruen ruling handed down in the same year.

The jury found Taylor guilty of second-degree criminal possession of a loaded weapon, four counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, five counts of criminal possession of a firearm, second-degree criminal possession of five or more firearms, unlawful possession of pistol ammunition, violation of certificate of registration, prohibition on unfinished frames or receivers. Two lesser charges, including third-degree criminal possession of three or more firearms and third-degree possession of a weapon, were not voted on.

The judge disrupted Varghese’s opening statement multiple times as he tried to set the stage for Taylor’s defense. Even further, she admonished the defense to refrain from mentioning the Second Amendment during the trial. Varghese told RedState:

She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.'

Seems the leftist judges are making the laws are they want instead of what the laws are....in many court rooms.....horrible

Lokk her up who she is, no furthere exolanation needed.

This is how our Nazi country does things now.

[Bonemaker]

Poor bastard, he made the mistake of being in New York.

Wow

[Lazamataz]

There is a reason I fled NYS over 23 years ago.

“” Even further, she admonished the defense to refrain from mentioning the Second Amendment during the trial.””

So, it is now part of the official record, right?

Sue the commie until she cries on camera.

Then file and have criminal charges brought.

When she gets out in a decade or so she can panhandle on a street corner.

Tyrants like her are why there IS a 2nd Amendment.

[griffin]

A judge who does not recognize law.

Yep. Par for the course. Remember.

[ealgeone]

She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.'

So we get to pick and choose which amendments we do or don't like.....good to know.

[griffin]

If this judge does not recognize basic human rights, such as SPECIFICALLY enumerated and protected by the 2nd and 1st amendements, why even have trials? Just throw EVERYONE into the dungeon. This piece of trash judge is a tyrant by definition.

Fraud Vitiates Everything

When someone advertises one thing but sells something entirely different, it is called fraud.

AMERICA: Sold Not as Advertised

All judges and law officers swear an oath to the Constitution. If they enforce laws that infringe our guaranteed rights, they are violating the Constitution and their oaths.

I just want the America I was sold: Constitutional Law - the Bill of Rights, not some complicated, undisclosed, admiralty, commercial, statutory law.

I’m through asking politicians to make good on our national promise. This is why I’ve become a State National. See tagline.

“What a power trip. She needs to be unseated but fast.”

You are correct, but she will never be unseated. However, her words and her prohibition of a legitimate 2A defense in her courtroom will be the basis for a hasty overturning of the conviction.

Viva Frei did an interview with this guy. The guy never took the guns out of his home. He just like the challenge of building them. One could argue if his is guilty or not. But one cannot argue that he got a fair trial if the judge said that. In fact the judge should be removed from the bench.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

[reg45]

Since the judge has decided that the Second Amendment no longer applies in New York, then New York is no longer a part of the United States and it’s votes can no longer be counted in the next election.

[LegendHasIt]

EXCELLENT!

[AbolishCSEU]

What do you call a failed attorney?

Your honor.

Her dirty little court room is a higher authority than America’s Founders and the Constitution of the United States.
