Mrs. Peel 7,148 Posted March 5, 2018 Well, this court decision that just happened regarding a law in MD is alarming... lots of firearms banned along with a 10-round limit added. I'm concerned results like this will only embolden the Governor and his minions here in Joisey. https://www.redstate.com/joshkimbrell/2018/03/04/liberal-courts-actively-dismantling-second-amendment/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,417 Posted March 5, 2018 Writing for the majority, Judge Robert King wrote “Put simply, we have no power to extend Second Amendment protections to weapons of war.” and As NRA Spokeswoman Jennifer Baker wrote in response to the ruling, “It is absurd to hold that the most popular rifle in America is not a protected ‘arm’ under the Second Amendment…[the ruling] clearly ignores the Supreme Court’s guidance from District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects arms that are ‘in common use at the time for lawful purposes like self-defense.'” The majority position actively conflicts with Heller... this has to go to SCOTUS... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio64 5,120 Posted March 5, 2018 Quote Writing for the majority, Judge Robert King wrote “Put simply, we have no power to extend Second Amendment protections to weapons of war.” AR15 is not getting the political attention anymore, so now the new key phrase is weapon of war. That is the narrative we have to fight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

capt14k 2,051 Posted March 5, 2018 Btw, wasn’t this case decided last year?Yes. It is old news. The Appeals Court is just reaffirming it's decision after SCOTUS denied Cert. Nothing new here.Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimB1 554 Posted March 5, 2018 You know, except for the fact that the 2A was put in place so citizens could have weapons of war to aid and/or stop the US army in the event of war/Federal Tyranny then yes there is no way to reconcile 2A with citizen ownership of “weapons of war” Federalist 29 Federalist 46 written by the people who wrote the Constitution explaining 2A.It’s not overly complicated reading but apparently reading comprehension is not a prerequisite for being a judge. -Jim 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mossburger 406 Posted March 5, 2018 But the liberals are so dumb!!! Don't worry guys, Murphy and the dum dum Dems are gonna go TOO FAR! And the courts are gonna shut them down! We will win 4D chess in the legal battle! The above post was sarcasm, referencing what many members here often say in the legal threads 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Glock guy 1,125 Posted March 5, 2018 It's like the two sides are always talking past each other. They insist on calling semiautomatic rifles with features that give them a military-like appearance "weapons of war (that don't belong on our streets)" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
