This is a sick joke.
I wish it were, but I don't think so.
This is a sick joke.
We need a few more 2A votes over in in VA ... just saying.

This article made me vomit:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slat...mendment_doesn_t_protect_assault_weapons.html
I damn near drove my truck off the Bay Bridge when I heard that news idiot on WCBM say "weapons of war".
What do we do now?
We file for Cert with the Supreme Court. We've got a 90 day window, which can be extended by petition.
I'm not a lawyer but I have a feeling this statement means we need to take this further:
"We conclude — contrary to the now-vacated decision of our prior panel — that the banned assault weapons and large-capacity magazines are not protected by the Second Amendment. That is, we are convinced that the banned assault weapons and large-capacity magazines are among those arms that are “like” “M-16 rifles” — “weapons that are most useful in military service” — which the Heller Court singled out as being beyond the Second Amendment’s reach."
For those wondering that was found on page 9.
I still cant believe 9 judges signed of on the idea that semi auto rifles are not covered under the Second Amendment. nuts!
This a dare to the Supreme Court.
Not getting my hopes up though. Not why they would take this one over others, at this time.
Wow, that is about the most ignorant thing I've read on this forum and that says a lot. How do people that don't get paid, don't get reimbursed for expenses and volunteer hundreds of hours line their pockets? As far as I can tell the direction of the cashflow from the MSI board and officers is out of their pockets and into the org. Nobody has ever taken home a freaking penny. And the org spends everything on the lawsuits and outreach.
This.
And who would have thought that Heller would have come out of DC and Mcdonald out of Chicago? or that Chicago would have shall issue before us?
The courts are the only way to win this and win it we will.
Donate and prepare for the next level.
We knew it was going to be a long hard road ...
Is there anything a single individual like me can do to help the fight?

It comes from the first sentence in the following paragraph of Heller (554 US at 627). It is a conditional sentence, where the 4CA cite the condition as evidence. From the rest of the paragraph it appears that SCOTUS was trying to say more sophisticated weapons like tanks and bomber are not covered, but small arms that you keep in your house like rifles do have protection otherwise you detach the right from the prefatory clause.Wonder what the basis in Heller was to suggest that firearms adopted by the military were not available to use by civilians (even if some might have emerged from the civilian or law enforcement market). The Constitution seems to expressly state that civilians owned firearms include the types that would be potentially useful in a national or state defense context.
