Judge Says Second Amendment Doesn't Protect AR-15s
Investor's Business Daily ^ | August 14, 2014 | IBD EDITORIALS

Posted on 08/14/2014 6:31:45 PM PDT by raptor22

Gun Control: A federal judge rules that the AR-15 and similar weapons commonly used in self-defense "fall outside Second Amendment protection as dangerous and unusual arms," and we have no right to keep or bear them.

Nobody looted the gun shop and tattoo parlor that share a storefront in a strip mall less than 10 minutes from Ferguson, Mo., where riots followed the police shooting of Michael Brown.

According to the local Riverfront Times, the owners of County Guns and Tattoo Studio arrived with friends to protect their businesses. One owner carried a rifle and pistol and wore a vest, while the other had his own rifle.

Their defensive use of firearms as rioters burned and looted other stores in the strip mall couldn't have occurred in Maryland. There, AR-15-style weapons are banned, more because of the rifles' "scary" appearance than their lethality. Maryland's Firearm Safety Act of 2013 makes their possession and open carry illegal.

Federal clown-judge Cathy Blake doesn’t seem to understand that the only reason she can shoot her ignorant, biased Lefty mouth off about “dangerous guns” like AR-15s is because she’s guarded by men with “dangerous” AR-15s...

Also, what use is a firearm that isn’t dangerous?

So...guns have to “non-dangerous”???

Yeah, "judge" Cathy Blake has ALL her decisions enforced by men with "non-dangerous" guns.

Someone ought to slap her ignorant face till her false teeth rattle...

The "judge" is a hypocrite.

Funny..... I don’t see the words “Dangerous” or “Unusual” anywhere in the Second Amendment.

Hey Judge, try taking them away and you’ll find out how strong the 2nd amendment really is in the minds of the Free citizens of the U.S.A.

The very last sentence...

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has been pushing a bill to reintroduce the ineffective assault weapons 1994 ban that expired in 2004 with no impact on the crime rate.

No impact.

Just like all the other trendy but worthless anti-Second Amendment "laws" that the progressive/liberal wanna-be communists quiver and drool over.

No impact.

Pretty much sums up most of their lives as well.

No impact...
