Gun-Rights Activists Look to Supreme Court to Take Up AR-15 Bans, Confiscation Bills

[Madmallard]

Second Amendment advocates are pursuing multiple lawsuits against gun-control measures in an effort to trigger a Supreme Court challenge that could upend decades of legislation.

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed multiple gun-rights challenges in federal courts across the country. Founder Alan Gottlieb said the muddled nature of state laws, on issues ranging from open carry to the possession of certain weapons, calls out for judicial review from the nation's highest court.

"Politicians making claims that the Second Amendment doesn't apply to so-called assault weapons is exactly why the Supreme Court needs to take all of these cases and put this issue to rest," Gottlieb told the Washington Free Beacon.

It’s already a done deal against us that was established by the Supreme Court in Miller and Heller. Justice Scalia who everyone seems to champion as a fighter for the 2nd Amendment inserted a Trojan Horse into his ruling that allows the banning of the AR15. He said that like all rights the 2nd is not unlimited which is BS. Then he goes on to say that common arms cannot be infringed upon. Well guess what? That can be interpreted any way. AR15’s or AR10s or FN Scars are not common arms. They are owned by many but not most. The vast majority of people don’t even own them. They mostly own pistols.

See how that can be used against us? Sure one can say that the AR15 is the most common rifle. But yet someone else can say that in NY the AR15 as designed is not a common rifle.

I feel Alan Gottlieb is wrong, there is no way the SC will side with the 2nd. Especially after over 100 years of gun control precedent. Look no farther than the 1911 NY Sullivan Act....109 years and it sill hasn't made it to the court.
You can "hide your head in the sand", and pray the Politicians-In-Robes will save the day, ain't gonna happen, this has been going on LONG before any of us were born.
I would highly recommend selling any really valuable firearms before the market tanks on the gun industry.....
