Chickenshits.
Usual sh*t reporting from Reuters... Expanding? Restoring.
There are Circuits in contention right now on AR’s and magazines. They bloody well should have taken this up.
Robert’s Court doing Democrat things again...
The Garand 30-06, on the other hand...😎
Now, if we only get our hands on the hundreds of thousands that lie mouldering in government and foreign hands...
It’s Rooters.
... shall not ...
Seems quite evident that ANY law restricting gun ownership is unconstitutional and need not be obeyed no matter what any court at any level says.
Maybe they are just waiting for the recent Colorado ban on all semi-autos, both pistols and rifles. I hope that is the case. Maybe even Barret will find that a step too far.
It’s not. But the idiots give the lawsuit to the Supreme Court on June 2nd which is 28 days til the end of the session. If they were serious, they’d ensure they had it at Christmas at least. Lesson learned I hope.
The Overlords told the SCOTUS to drop the appeals via the Blackmail Bank of America.
But.....it’s black and scary looking! /s
In the past, this news would have bothered me.
Lost my guns and mags in a boating accident, deep water....never recovered them.
It may not be the most “powerful” weapon but it is quite accurate with the right sites and very deadly, making it an excellent home defense weapon.
They (meaning Kavanaugh and ACB) are waiting for a Circuit split. I disagree with waiting - would they wait on a free speech or due process case that’s as egregious of a Constitutional violation as a semi-auto or magazine ban is? - I think not. But nonetheless, here we are. This should occur soon, meaning the next year or 2, and we’ll have our desired ruling then. But justice delayed is justice denied. K and ACB (and the Traitor Roberts) are utter cowards
“…and if they worked continuously without eating or sleeping they still would not be able to hear all the cases that filter up to them.”

As it is, they only grant Cert. in about 1% of cases appealed to them. We are a very litigious society, and most of our Circuit Courts are staffed by Leftist Constitution-haters. If people (and governments) the ridiculous positions were regularly slapped down hard by the Circuits, the Supremes would have less of the obvious cases to work on and would ear more tough ones. These cases are not tough…but having 3 Leftist blissninnies and 3 squishes makes for tough sledding ahead.
The Turd Circus is what may well give us the Circuit split that’s probably needed for the USSC to finally take a semi-auto rifle ban case.
The most common .223 Remington cartridge used in this rifle contains a projectile that weighs 0.127 of an ounce and makes a hole just .22 inches in diameter. It is not a good example of a “powerful” rifle.
The projectile in the 30-06 Springfield cartridge used in the WWII Garand rifle weighs nearly 3 times as much and uses about 2 times as much propellant. It is also a semiautomatic rifle, but it doesn't look as scary to genius politicians because it doesn't have a magazine hanging from the receiver. It takes about 10 seconds for someone proficient with the Garand to pop in a clip with 8 more cartridges.
The following chart shows why the .223 has size envy when compared to the .30-06...
You just knew Amy Mommy Barrett was going to take the wrong side on these issues
They patently fail at the very definition of their job: review and decide constitutional law and constitutionality of laws.
