Liberal Courts Are Actively Dismantling the Second Amendment

[Mrs. Peel 7,157]

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.

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...

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.

this is common tactic of the left.....keep changing their catch phrases or the words they use.

Murphy is grinning ear to ear. Hopefully SCOTUS will hear the appeal.

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.

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”

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.

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

Weapons of war ... like muskets, right?

Waiting for DEA to raid Murphy's home to remove his and his son's drug stash....

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)"
