Liberal Courts Are Actively Dismantling the Second Amendment
Posted at 10:00 am on March 4, 2018
Democrats for decades have pursued gun control as an article of political faith, though there is no evidence that their proposals would curb gun violence. Increasingly, Americans are rejecting their arguments in spite of their opportunistic emotional appeals in the aftermath of tragedies like in Parkland, Florida. The reason is that, in an age when mass shootings are becoming all-too-commonplace, it is not lost on the American people that these horrific mass murders always happen in “gun free zones.” The logical result is that gun control measures that further restrict lawful gun ownership are not met with approval.
In light of their legislative failures on gun control, the Left is falling-back to its true stronghold: the federal judiciary. In spite of President Trump’s conservative court appointments, the majority of the justices on the federal bench remain democratic appointees. This is certainly the case with regard to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals based in Richmond, Virginia. This week, in a 10-4 ruling, the Court ruled that a Maryland law banning 45 types of firearms and limiting magazines to 10 rounds be upheld. Writing for the majority, Judge Robert King wrote “Put simply, we have no power to extend Second Amendment protections to weapons of war.”
Maryland’s law did not ban “weapons of war,” it banned some of the most popularly purchased and owned private firearms in America. Maryland put a tremendous burden on law abiding citizens with this law, and shaped a balance of power in favor of those who will commit heinous acts of violence regardless of gun laws placed on the books. By banning widely used firearms from use by law abiding Marylanders, Maryland has imposed one of the most oppressive anti-gun bills in modern memory.
