        At no point in Heller, McDonald, or Caetano did the Supreme Court imply anything remotely akin to "bans on firearms with designs similar to military weapons are presumptively lawful." It DID state that weapons commonly used by law-abiding citizens for lawful reasons are protected

        Were muskets not weapons of war in 1789? Was the rifle not designed for war in the 19th century? Was the semi-automatic handgun not created as a military sidearm? This is an absurdly reasoned opinion that ignores history, case law, and the reality of which weapons are dangerous.

        Further, millions of law abiding citizens own semi-automatic rifles precisely because they are great for self-defense. They aren't particularly powerful, and they're easier than handguns to use effectively for smaller or less experienced individuals.

        Over 97% of firearm deaths are from handguns. It’s clear this will be overturned. “Military-style” is Orwellian doublespeak.

        “Military-style.” No military would be so irresponsible as to arm its soldiers with ARs.

        Another example of a so called judge legislating from the bench. Our Constitution says nothing about types of weapons. Unfortunately our forefathers could not predict the types that would develop. Hopefully Trump can fill our courts with constitutional judges!

        Which shows that repealing the Second Amendment is not necessary. All that is necessary are judges willing to ignore the Second Amendment.

        umm US Supreme Court in 2008, District of Columbia v. Heller, held that weapons “most useful in military service” fall outside the scope of the Second Amendment

        As a Vet, if you are anti gun you couldn’t pass weapons qual. AR-15’s are not military grade. No one in the military carries an AR-15, they carry M-4’s. Appearance can be deceiving. Most standard hunting rifles are the exact same as AR-15 except appearance.
