Government Lawyer GASLIGHTS Judge About Bruen!
Hannah Hill, Executive Director for the National Foundation for Gun Rights, gives a breakdown of the ridiculously uneducated arguments made by the State of Massachusetts in our Lawsuit against "Assault Weapons" Ban
Help our Fight HERE: nagr.link/5on
Made up of more than 4.5 million grassroots activists, the National Association for Gun Rights leads the charge to halt the radical gun-grabbing agenda running rampant across the nation. Accepting NO COMPROMISE on the issue of gun control, NAGR works tirelessly to hold politicians accountable for their anti-gun views and has made great strides in protecting and preserving the Second Amendment. But our effectiveness in the battle against these attacks on your liberties depend entirely on the support from pro-gun patriots like you.

@@Magikarp-4ever SCROTUS does not care about the 2A or the rest of the Constitution. Heller upheld infringements and in Bruen, SCROTUS reaffirmed Heller and referred to Heller more frequently than they did the actual 2A (mentioning Heller 167 times vs the 2A 149 times). Page 21 of the Bruen opinion proves all the 2A channels and supposedly pro2A organizations wrong when they say Bruen is a door to abolishing all gun laws. It's the exact opposite of that; it's a roadmap for gun grabbers on how to satisfy SCROTUS with infringements. This is basically what SCROTUS really said in Bruen: "Although we can find no historical record of gun control laws saying XYZ, we are also unable to find any record of court challenges to those laws (that we couldn't find), so we therefore find them constitutionally permissible." It's right there on page 21. And even still, the whole "text, history, tradition" thing is nonsense, because that's SCROTUS saying, "If government violated the Constitution a long time ago, then they can keep doing it."

It is despicable that courts let lawyers relegate the Second Amendement to "self defense." That alone is why we are consistently kept from possessing arms that are the most useful for defense against tyranny, foreign and domestic.

IMHO, the repeated insistance of using "self defense" as the linch pin and sole perspective to argue for arms controls, is distorting arguments the the 2nd Amendment. The aspect of defending the nation against tyranny, either foreign or domestic, is being ignored and the importance of which is being minimized. Re types of arms needed for self defense against common criminals versus arms best suited to defend the nation against tyranny, the later is significantly more important. Arms capabilities in total must be sufficient to defend the nation against tyranny with secondary uses of criminal self defense. The argument of how these bans and proposed restrictions substantially undermine citizen's ability to defend the nation must be brought into the legal discussion sooner rather than later.

Agreed! AR and AK platform rifles meet every single criteria SCOTUS has for 2A protections. Handguns fail. Handguns also aren’t the most effective means for self defense. More 2A advocates need to be pushing for cultural changes such as requiring public schools give firearm safety and defense training. Public schools and civic organizations also need to sponsor youth marksmanship and ownership.

To threaten imprisonment for debating and passing a law would run afoul to the guarantee of a republican form of government outlined by the constitution in that a member would not truly be able to represent their respective constituents out of fear of criminal penalty. While lawmakers can be advised to the potential constitutional invalidity of a law, they have the sole prerogative, and therfore qualified immunity, in its creation and passing through the regulatory process of debate and voting. It then can go upon a myriad avenues to reach judicial review for which a law can be challenged on its constitutional legitimacy.

Sigh. Assault Rifle has a fixed technical definition. Assault Weapon is a nebulous term thought up by gun banners which varies from state to state, sometimes even including SA handguns and sometimes not. It generally refers to SA rifles capable of accepting a detachable magazine plus one or more design features from a list, generally consisting of a pistol grip, barrel shroud, fore grip, flash hider, bayonet lug, and several more possiblities. Ofcourse the term is meant to conflate the full auto capable Assault Rifle with a normal SA weapon.

Definition of an arm-anything that can be used either offensively or defensively. Anything
The ultimate argument for having a firearm for self defense, is the very reason that the Second Amendment was added to the Constitution - - that is, for the Citizen's defense against a government that has, or even potentially will eliminate our constitutional rights and become an oppressor. I believe that this is recognized amongst the majority of gun owners, but it is rarely stated with the fear of being made to sound like a revolutionary proclamation.
