Assault Weapons Ban

[C_Clayton_Jones]

I think that in order to get a law degree and ever serve as a judge or Justice then you must demonstrate an understanding of the Bill of Rights. Like knowing what the phrase "shall not be infringed" means.

Unfortunate too many judges don't understand the Bill of Rights.

This is as ridiculous as it is ignorant and wrong.

In order to serve as a judge or justice one must understand Constitutional case law and respect that precedent – including understanding the fact that laws and measures enacted consistent with Constitutional case law in no manner ‘infringe’ on citizens’ rights.

Clearly conservatives don’t understand the Bill of Rights – or the rest of the Constitution, for that matter.

Liberals are not trying to get rid of handguns, nobody is.

Correct.

In fact, liberals aren’t trying to ‘get rid’ of any type of firearm.

no legislation to say he can't act on ammunition

Biden can’t ‘act’ on anything – only Congress has the authority to enact Federal firearm legislation.

And the courts have held that ammunition is within the scope of Second Amendment protections – for example, government cannot ‘ban’ 5.56 NATO as a ‘backdoor’ ban of AR 15s and other semi-auto carbines and rifles that chamber the round.

Perhaps you can quote the passage of the law that mentions the ammunition.

I think it is certain that the Democrats will pass an Assault Weapons Ban and a Magazine Ban.

The only thing certain is that this is as idiotic now as it was last January, and completely wrong – yet another rightwing lie.

There will be no ‘new’ AWB – there’s no will for such a ‘ban’ in Washington and most Democrats oppose a ‘new’ AWB.

The dishonest right will of course continue to propagate the lie that Democrats want a ‘new’ AWB for come perceived partisan benefit.

How can it be idiotic to predict that when the Democrat assholes ran on a platform to do away with the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and Joe Dufus said he wanted an assault weapon and magazine ban?

The shitheads in the filthy ass Democrat Party would pass it quickly if they thought they could get it pass the Republican filibuster in the Senate.

Wrong.
The problem is the Founder had built in violations of rights, like slavery, so then could not put into the Constitution what they knew it should have.
So the Constitution only limited the federal government, and did not try to do anything else.
For example, there were state religions back then, like Penn's Sylvania and the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock.
That is the only reason why we have wishy washy case law and precedent, as the SCOTUS slowly incorporated the Bill of Rights against all levels of government.

On gun issues, those in favor of gun control are clearly totally wrong.
Since the source of all legal authority in a democratic republic can only come from individual rights, then you can not have police or military have weapons inaccessible to ordinary people
You could have restrictions like registration, limited use, etc., but the idea of gun control in general is just totally and completely wrong, illegal, and can only lead to a police state dictatorship.

Yes they are.
Constantly assault rifle bans have not only been proposed, but passed.
And that is not only illegal, but really really stupid.

Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein Introduces Bill to Ban Assault Weapons, High-Capacity Magazines Hours After House Dems Pass Gun Control Bill

From the article:

"87-year-old Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA) and Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI) on Thursday introduced a bill to ban “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines just hours after the Democrat-controlled House passed a gun control bill.

The Democrats introduced the Assault Weapons Ban, an updated bill to ban the sale, transfer, manufacture and importation of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, like were used in the massacre in Dayton, Ohio where the shooter had a hundred-round magazine attached to an assault rifle. – Feinstein said in her announcement on Thursday.

“It’s been 17 years since the original Assault Weapons Ban expired, and the plague of gun violence continues to grow in this country,” said Senator Feinstein. “To be clear, this bill saves lives. When it was in place from 1994-2004, gun massacres declined by 37 percent compared with the decade before. After the ban expired, the number of massacres rose by 183 percent. We’re now seeing a rise in domestic terrorism, and military-style assault weapons are increasingly becoming the guns of choice for these dangerous groups. I’m hopeful that with the new administration and Democratic control of the Senate, we can finally pass commonsense gun reforms to remove these deadly weapons from our communities.”"

The gun lobby is trying to make it sound and have a lot of people believing that they want to ban pistols, hunting rifles etc.
