Second Amendment - Ammo Ban II

Gun Rights in America

from The Blaze

In a case that could have national implications, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to announce this week whether it will take on a challenge to a Chicago-area law banning semi-automatic rifles.

California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Washington, D.C., also currently ban so-called “assault weapons.”

More from NBC News:

"Gun rights advocates are challenging a 2013 law passed in Highland Park, Illinois, that bans the sale, purchase, or possession of semi-automatic weapons that can hold more than 10 rounds in a single ammunition clip or magazine. In passing the law, city officials cited the 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.

The ban also lists certain specific rifles, including those resembling the AR-15 and AK-47 assault-style firearms."

The Illinois State Rifle Association is challenging the law as the group believes it to be unconstitutional.

A federal district judge and a federal appeals court panel upheld the law.

Judge Frank Easterbrook wrote in his decision that “a ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines might not prevent shootings in Highland Park (where they are already rare), but it may reduce the carnage if a mass shooting occurs.”

Editors Note:

I just have ONE question for these radicals who wish to restrict law abiding people, because of law breakers. 

"What do think would have happened at Sandy Hook or any other mass shooting scene, if EVERY law abiding human in the room would have been REQUIRED to be armed with at least one loaded weapon each?"

(with as many rounds as they wanted)

  • from what im learning Sandy hook was a staged event.

  • FACT: Gun Deaths are DOWN. Way Down, Actually…

    http://www.blacklistednews.com/FACT%3A_Gun_Deaths_are_DOWN._Way_Dow...

    Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

    Looking back 50 years, the U.S. gun homicide rate began rising in the 1960s, surged in the 1970s, and hit peaks in 1980 and the early 1990s. (The number of homicides peaked in the early 1990s.) The plunge in homicides after that meant that firearm homicide rates in the late 2000s were equal to those not seen since the early 1960s.1 The sharp decline in the U.S. gun homicide rate, combined with a slower decrease in the gun suicide rate, means that gun suicides now account for six-in-ten firearms deaths, the highest share since at least 1981.

    The more gun laws restricting guns the high the gun violence

    I wonder if you took out the police shootings of citizens how these figures would actually look.

    Sandy Hook was staged, Obama said it was an exercise, and te facts are pretty well exposes the crime of government.

  • School had been closed do to asbestos problem. It was another "false flag". One of 'fathers' was laughing joking etc just prior to his appearance on TV interview. Can you say 'actors'???
    • I heard this are there any links to it?  mr Donahue?

  • before Hitler was able to massacre all them jews, he had to first find a way to take away their guns; so he had his people in the 'government' stage false flags to set up the next phase; after that, he banned ALL guns; took away all their guns, then shortly after started rounding up all the jews, stuck them in concentration camps and massacred them all.

    what's been happening here today, is taken right out of Hitler's playbook: in small, increments

  • I have said it over and over start challenging their Oath of Office when it comes to infringing on any of the Bill of Rights. This is a sample letter I will write on the 2nd Amendment:

    I hope that you will OPPOSE all gun control. Do not vote for one word of gun control.

    I hope you will not commit a GROSS VIOLATION on your Oath of Office by supporting more 2nd Amendment INFRINGEMENT violations. It is beyond me that a unconstitutional law was passed and signed in law during Clinton in 1996, called GUN BAN FOR INDIVIDUALS CONVICTED OF A MISDEMEANOR CRIME OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE that passed, violating Constitution restriction: The Constitution prohibits both the federal government (Article I, Section 9, Clause 3) and the states (in Article I, Section 10, Clause 1) from passing either bills of attainder or ex post facto laws. The Framers considered freedom from bills of attainder and ex post facto laws so important that these are the only two individual liberties that the original Constitution protects from both federal and state intrusion. As James Madison said in The Federalist No. 44, "Bills of attainder, ex post facto laws, and laws impairing the obligation of contracts, are contrary to the first principles of the social compact, and to every principle of sound legislation."

    Any government official that takes the required Oath under Article 6, Clause 3 of the Constitution and Title 5 US CODE 3331 and infringes on the Bill of Rights should be charged under E.O. 10450, then removed from office and never be able to hold any government position in the United States of America.
