No, it’s not. Just because some @zzhole judge says it is don’t make it so. That pesky Constitution lives yet.
Things will be dicey in the People’s Republic of Maryland, got it. They stop cars and yank people out of them while searching for guns. Especially out of state drivers.
But look at CT, NY, & MA. They have yet to send out the flying monkeys to seize ex post facto `illegal’ firearms. And Governor Moonbeam in CA is staring at insurrection if he does.
Oooh! Detachable magazine! Evil! /s
There’s a reason a certain author ;-) depicted _scopes_ as the definitive “evil feature” to ban. One round fired from an antique single-shot rifle *with quality optics* is the weapon most to be politically feared.
Rumors of the Constitution’s death are premature.
“look at CT, NY, & MA. They have yet to send out the flying monkeys to seize ex post facto `illegal’ firearms.”
NY has made it a felony to do other than register or turn in “assault weapons”; no transfers of any kind allowed.
Immediately before the ban, there were about a half-million owners of such weapons - a group noted for being extremely law-abiding (as far as categories of residents go).
96% of owners have decided to be felons rather than comply.
And police have made it generally clear they do not intend to enforce the ban, for obvious reasons.
Oh, but listen to the weak sisters:
“They’ll just freeze your bank accounts!”
“They’ll seize your children!”
“They’ll stop you for a burned out taillight!”
“They’ll pressure your boss to fire you!”
But...wait just a second - Obama’s not in office anymore. Andrew Cuomo & Jerry Brown are on their own.

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE
Once we get nine SCOTUS’s this sh!t will disappear!!
It should be illegal for printers to print out more than 3 sheets of newsprint a minute. Internet activity has sparked global warming and electricity useage must drop, and paper useage has killed our old growth forests.
In response to this, newspaper printing and internet dispersion of anyones opinion on anything will be made punishable as a justified court should so deem.
This will not hamper anyone’s 1st amendment rights as they can still speak their mind whenever it does’t interfere with anyone elses rights to not hear their crap.
Completely ignored U.S. v. Miller as well.
Here we go again.
Legislation liars from the socialist liberal agenda bench ..... nothing new, will happen time and time again. We have to teach our children as they will have to pick up the fight when we’re gone..... vote with your dollars and try and starve the beast .
On a related note, ...
Not very long ago, it struck me that the Second Amendment might be interpreted to say, “Given that the government will have a great army, the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms (in order to guard against government tyranny) shall not be infringed.”
It would be nice if it was phrased like that if that was the intent.
Sounds like the 4th Circuit needs a visit from the second amendment.
A few of us have concluded that. My variant (commandeering a common argument to reach the same Molon Labe end):
“A standing army being a necessary evil to ensure the security of a free country, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall nonetheless not be infringed.”
Point being that the Founding Fathers deeply disliked “standing armies”, but grudgingly recognized it would be necessary because a militia of the people (however well equipped & trained) would, while preferable, realistically be insufficiently reliable. This destroys the common notion “we have a military, so it makes sense to disarm the people.”
Actually, it makes perfect sense phrased as it is.
And I'd be willing to bet the intended meaning would have been crystal clear to anyone with a fifth-grade education in 1789.
It's only later that the tyrants and their sheeple allowed it to go fuzzy.
As Trump would say, “Wrong.”
This is going to SCOTUS. But not before Gorsuch is confirmed.
