US v Tamori Morgan (federal district court rules full auto weapons covered under 2nd Amendment Bruen decision)

USCourts.gov website ^ | Kansas District Court

[PapaBear3625]

Federal Court declares that full-auto weapons (in this case a Glock with a "switch" that allows full auto discharge) which are "bearable" (can be carried and used by a single individual) are covered under the Second Amendment in light of Heller and Bruen decisions

The meat of the decision:

Under the Second Amendment, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not
be infringed.” U.S. Const. amend. II. “[T]he Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all
instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the
founding.” D.C. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 582 (2008). To keep arms means, simply, to possess
arms. Id. at 583. If the plain text of the Second Amendment applies to a defendant’s conduct, the
government has the burden to show that the regulation is consistent with this nation’s historical
firearm regulation tradition. New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 17
(2022). This standard requires a “historical analogue” between the modern regulation and
historical regulations, not a “historical twin.” United States v. Rahimi, 144 S. Ct. 1889, 1902–03
(2024).

This was decided yesterday. It does not apply as precedent nationwide, but I can see it being appealed to the Supreme Court (Or maybe not — the feds may not want to risk it)

So full-auto is cool in Kansas now? I'm not a fan of full-auto handguns, but rifles are fun.

[No Whey Jose]

Can you bear it?

I could bear having a Thompson Sub gun.

[Billthedrill]

I need a machine gun. Gophers.

[reed13k]

I can’t wait to get a Thompson :)

I know they make a semi-auto version here:

Unfortunately they don’t take drums with this version...hopefully they’ll update it :)

Back when the NFA was passed in 1934, Congress knew that it didn’t have the power under the Constitution to ban anything. (What a quaint, old-fashioned idea!) So it used its power to tax.

Want a machine gun, short-barreled rifle or silencer? Fine! Just buy a $200 tax stamp from the IRS (that would be $4700 in today’s money). Oh, and we reserve the right to kill you for not paying the tax.

If SCOTUS were to rule that the NFA (and the Gun Control Act of 1968) is unconstitutional, the libs and the dems would go crazy.

I want select fire on at least one of my AR-15’s

[Billthedrill]

Yup. I’ll tell my friends I’m “pro-choice”. Semi or full?

What ever arms a US infantry soldier is issued is the same arms the unorganized should have The second amendment ain’t about deer hunting.
