"we have no power to extend Second Amendment protections to weapons of war.” Judge Robert B. King wrote that weapons of war are most useful in the military and the previous Supreme Court ruling on District of Columbia vs. Heller excluded these kinds of weapons from being protected by the Second Amendment.

sooooo......what does that have to do with this case?

 

[BerettaGuy]

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, who concurred with King, focused on the state’s responsibility to protect their citizens, writing, “it is their community, not ours. It is their safety not ours. It is their lives, not ours.”

So if the community wants to pass laws about who sits where on a bus or who can sit in a diner and who can't, the community rules and the Constitution doesn't matter and anti discrimination laws don't matter. Brilliant!

What is next? The community decides that you are only allowed one sugary drink a month?
The Community decides that you have to take homeless people into your home?
Community the root word of communism.

Point is the Second Amendment fight is not about guns, on either side.

We need to start firing some Judges.

I dare anyone to take a "modern sporting rifle" and hand to anyone in the military and see what happens. My bet is they will hand it back to you and tell you to shove it. it won't work on the battlefield.

I heard they still get to to have and buy CMP approved AR-15s. They probably have to be registered but they allowed for continued high power competition. What we get?

No consideration in UN-SAFE at all.

So no new shooters with AR-15A2s in NY? Not possible?

I'll be laughing my ass off if they are out there doing featureless or locked in mags?

Cooks from the 51st Mess Kit Repair BN may not see the difference and I"m thinking the stuff on the internet of the AR-15 building expertise we see across America, we got them beat and keeping up and surpassing. Semi-auto still rules and the A4s overheats in battle when the situation becomes "difficult"

I'm not sure of when the ACOG was developed, but I seen it in gun mags in the 1970s or 1980s and wondered why we do not have it in the Army? Now all have an optical sight. Progress so freaking slow. After growing up with rifles and iron sights. I said, what's these stupid sights on the M16A1? Made no aiming sense to me as no hunting gun had similar.

When soldiers of today, see the Garand and shoot it, they think its the coolest thing they ever seen. For me, Fort Lewis 1993, range day with all the legacy and foreign weapons, the Garand we are fighting over.

Most civilian AR's are actually better. They have free-float handguards, 2 stage triggers, better stocks, ect. The only thing missing is 3 round burst or full auto which is rarely used by a rifleman.
