[1965hawks]

 Thanks for bringing this up-=-==!

Now you understand WHY it was so Important for TRUMP to win ,  You see this is going to go to the Supreme Court !  That same  court that Trump is going to appoint Justices that Understand the U.S. Constitution !!



       Guns Win Big on Election Day               Most anti-gun candidate in modern history loses, NRA spending pays off..


The 2016 election delivered a number of wins for gun rights activists across the country.
Though Donald Trump's presidential victory represents the greatest opportunity for policy changes that have widespread impact, there were many unexpected wins at the state and local levels. The National Rifle Association won in nearly every race where it invested money.
The NRA spent more than $30.3 million in the presidential race, up from just over $12 million in 2012. $19.7 million of that went to opposing Hillary Clinton and $10.6 million went to supporting Donald Trump, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission documents by the Center for Responsive Politics. The group invested another $20 million in six Senate races and won five of them.
Hillary Clinton's defeat comes after she staked out the most aggressive gun control positions for a major party candidate in modern memory.


Now you see why we got out and VOTED !

"The state [Maryland]recognized that the Supreme Court’s decision in D.C. v. Heller protects citizens’ right to keep handguns in the home. But it argued that the firearms it had proscribed constituted “dangerous and unusual weapons,” which the Heller court said could be outlawed. Indeed, Maryland pointed out, the Heller court explicitly declares that especially dangerous weapons 'that are most useful in military service—M-16 rifles and the like—may be banned.' "

US Appeals Court: Assault Weapons Not Protected by Second Amendment

They're wrong.

[1965hawks]

They're wrong but you can't explain why they're wrong. Right, anchoragedan?

[D2D]

Again 1965hawks confuses an appeals court with the US Supreme Court!

He seems to have forgotten who has the final say!

What part of the US Constitution allows the 4th Circuit Court to overrule the Supreme Court?

[dont-blameme]

Is shehawks also saying we can buy a military M-16 over the counter now?

" a law made in response to the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012."

By definition, that is a reactionary law, and reactionary law is bad law.

Also, military weapons is the whole point of the 2nd. It is not there to hunt, it is there for protection and that includes protection against the government. It even makes that point quite clear, the militia refers to we the people, not the army. It is important that we be armed well enough to fight the government if ever need that, that is the whole point of the 2nd. Rebellion is not pretty but sometimes it is necessary, and even the threat of rebellion can make the government think twice about its actions. Take away that threat and it has nothing to fear from the people.
