The protests in Iran and China…would be different if the people had guns……

[Jaxson]

Nope.....not caring about that.....pointing out that the Chinese government couldn't use the same tactics they use now against their people, if the people in those crowds could shoot back. Dittos Iran.

Like those cowards on Jan. 6? Did they even use their guns, or were they just for show?

A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld California’s ban on gun magazines holding more than 10 bullets, reversing a San Diego judge’s previous ruling and clearing the way for decisions in other Second Amendment cases to move forward.

An en banc panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 7-4 that the ban on large-capacity magazines is “a reasonable fit for the government interest of reducing gun violence” and that it “only minimally interferes with the core right of self-defense.”

The lawsuit was filed in San Diego federal court, one of many recent gun rights cases first decided by Judge Roger Benitez

Hawaii gun advocates were dealt a blow Wednesday by a federal court ruling that upheld state laws regulating the open carry of firearms in public.

The decision stems from a 2012 case of a Big Island man who had been repeatedly denied an open carry permit. The majority of an 11-member panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled in favor of the state in the man’s latest legal challenge.

The opinion is a departure from other federal rulings that have generally upheld Second Amendment rights. Meanwhile, firearm permit applications rose 63% in 2020.

The en banc Fourth Circuit ruled in favor of Maryland’s ban on assault-style weapons, overturning a panel decision last year that said the ban placed a substantial burden on the right to bear arms.

The Supreme Court also vacated Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs v. Bruck, a 2020 decision in which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit upheld that state's ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. The three-judge panel deferred to another 3rd Circuit panel's conclusion that the law was constitutional.
------
Bianchi v. Frosh, the fourth decision that the Supreme Court vacated yesterday, upheld Maryland's ban on "assault weapons," defined to include specified models, "copies" of them, and any semiautomatic centerfire rifle that accepts detachable magazines and has two or more of three features: a folding stock, a grenade or flare launcher, or a flash suppressor. The same law includes a 10-round magazine limit.
---
In the 2017 case Kolbe v. Hogan, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled that "the banned assault weapons and large-capacity magazines are not protected by the Second Amendment." Four years later in Bianchi, a 4th Circuit panel rejected another challenge to the "assault weapon" ban, citing Kolbe, which reasoned that the guns covered by the law were similar to "weapons that are most useful in military service" and "thus outside the ambit of the Second Amendment." Even if that were not true, the majority said, Maryland's law would satisfy intermediate scrutiny.

There are apparently now armed separatists in Iran, fighting against the regime……the article is behind a paywall………and the protests in China? Would be completely different if the citizens had guns……,,

This is what anti-gun fanatics don’t understand……..armed citizens keep the government in check….

The democrat party blm/antics brown shirts stayed primarily in black neighborhoods in democrat party controlled cities to do their looting, burning and murder…..why?

Because democrat cities have the most extreme gun control targeted at law abiding citizens…..there was no one….except Kyle Rittenhouse….to shoot the blm/brown shirts …..except for some smart business owners who did use rifles to protect their own stores. The suburbs tend to have far higher gun ownership rates..
which means looters and killers can be shot.

Imagine how hard it would be for Iran and China to crack down on protestors if they had guns…….

The point of a heavily armed citizenry is to keep the government from ever trying overt suppression of the people………..

The Founders knew what they were doing.

You mean like on Jan. 6?

The only murder of a citizen by the government was of that unarmed woman who was shot in the neck. Is that what you were referring to?

You mentioned that if Chinese people had guns, the government couldn't push them around. Since that's never even happened here, that our governments backed down from something because of all the guns, why do think that that would work in China?

I'm referring to the lack of use of weapons by the Jan. 6 cowards. If they are such badasses, why didn't they all open fire? Afraid they were all going to get shot? Bunch pussies.

You seem to have bought into the silly insurrection™ slogan that the left uses.

There was never any insurrection™, no attempt or intention for any such nonsense as the left portrays it, thus no need for gunfire. Oddly, it was the government which opened fire. Maybe you want to redirect your melodramatic “pussies” comment where it belongs, you being such a badass keyboard hero and all.

So what were the people doing trying to break in and looking to hang Pence and others? Just having a tea party, and they were shot at? They must have simply forgot to bring their lunch baskets and parasols?

Was anyone charged with "attempted hanging"? Don't think so.

You are assuming most want change. If that was the case IMO there would have been change.

Iran just announced that they are dismantling the virtue and vice police so that's progress.. small progress.

Yeah.......don't believe it till it happens...

It’s disinformation that Islamic Republic of Iran has abolished it’s morality police. It’s a tactic to stop the uprising. Protesters are not facing guns and bullets to abolish morality police or forced hijab.They want to end Islamic regime.
