Chris “Badger” Thomas RIGHT WING TRIBUNE–

The United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts dismissed a complaint against the state’s “assault weapons” ban on Friday and expressly described similar bans as constitutional, Breitbart reports.

“The AR-15 and its analogs, along with large capacity magazines, are simply not weapons within the original meaning of the individual constitutional right to ‘bear arms.’”

U.S. District Judge William Young said assault weapons are military firearms and aren’t protected by the constitutional right to “bear arms.” Regulation of the weapons is a matter of policy, not for the courts, he said.

Young also upheld Healey’s 2016 enforcement notice to gun sellers and manufacturers clarifying what constitutes a “copy” or “duplicate” weapon under the 1998 assault weapon ban, including copies of the Colt AR-15 and the Kalashnikov AK-47. Local 10TV

Jim Wallace, executive director of the Massachusetts gun owners group, said Young’s upholding of Healey’s crackdown on copycat assault weapons gives the attorney general “unbridled authority” to interpret laws as she pleases.

“Everyone in the state should be really concerned about that,” Wallace said. “What if the next attorney general isn’t a friend on one of your issues?”

Because a ban on the AR-15 and “large capacity magazines” is, in its opinion, constitutional, the court ruled that the question of whether a ban exists is one to be decided by legislatures, not judges.

The court added:

In the absence of federal legislation, Massachusetts is free to ban these weapons and large capacity magazines. Other states are equally free to leave unregulated and available to their law-abiding citizens. Their policy matters are simply not of constitutional moment. Americans are not afraid of bumptious, raucous, and robust debate about these matters. We call it democracy.

The ordinance warns that stock “assault weapons” are “customizable to become even more dangerous weapons of mass casualties and destruction.”

Blunt Truth for the ignorant fools who believe the propaganda and are going after firearms:

There is no such thing as an, “Assault Weapon” and these ignorant fools who keep spouting the propaganda to scare the sheep into submission, need to be fought on every level.

The weapon is the TOOL that is picked for use by the criminal (whether the tool be a gun, car, screwdriver, knife, etc.). The ASSAULT is the act of the criminal doing the damage with chosen tool.

The Chicago suburb of Deerfield, Illinois, is giving residents 60 days to get rid of their “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines and empowering the police chief to confiscate them from those who refuse to give them up, Breitbart reports.

Section 15-91 of the ordinance states, “The Chief of Police or his or her designee shall have the power to confiscate any assault weapon of any person charged with a violation under this article. The Chief of Police shall cause to be destroyed each Assault Weapon or Large Capacity Magazine surrendered or confiscated pursuant to this Article.” RWT NEWS

The Democrats and cowardly sheep argue that the AR platform is an “assault weapon” (though we have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, that no such thing exists) and they claim they are customizable which makes them even “deadlier” and “mass casualty weapons that kill entire nations!”.

Time for Blunt Truth and education:

A folding or telescoping stock (a prominent feature of the Army’s current M4 rifle) has no bearing on the firearms lethality.
Pistol grips has no bearing on the lethality of a the firearm.
Flash Suppressors A flash suppressor, also known as a flash guard, flash eliminator, flash hider, or flash cone, is a device attached to the muzzle of a rifle that reduces its visible signature while firing by cooling or dispersing the burning gases that exit the muzzle, a phenomenon typical of carbine-length firearms.
MAGAZINE simply holds rounds in it, AR’s equal 1 trigger squeeze = 1 round down range. No such thing as an assault magazine or machine gun magazine!

States and private companies are bypassing congress, because they see our President is PRO 2nd Amendment, so they found a loophole to still achieve their endgame.

We must take the fight to them, we cannot allow them to tread on us and our freedoms, unity and a collective voice is where we start!

TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
