Unless and until our worthless, gutless supreme court finally steps in and puts an end to this nonsense, states will continue to infringe on the 2nd.
It doesn't matter what is done--states and local governments will continue to try to gut the 2A. It is our job to prevent them from succeeding.

Actually, the fact that LEOs aren't restricted should be the basis for overturning both the magazine restrictions and handgun registry in CA.

Well, I'll get flamed for saying this, but all LEO's in CA should abide by the same restrictions as the rest of us, and that includes the damn roster.

Part of the opinion:

“The statute outlaws no weapon, but only limits the size of the magazine that may be used with firearms,” the judges ruled in the 7-4 decision.

The majority reasoned that “the record demonstrates that the limitation interferes only minimally with the core right of self-defense, as there is no evidence that anyone ever has been unable to defend his or her home and family due to the lack of a large-capacity magazine; and ... that the limitation saves lives.”

What a way around deciding on merits.


Yeah, because they're all dead...

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

What other circuit has ruled on this question?

The problem with the analysis is that only states that are more generally anti-gun will have such a statute and their circuits may also be likely to uphold. so there won't be circuits that strike down these bans. In other words, it isn't so much that there isn't a split, but that circuits that would go the other way won't get a case.

And that the circuits are divided isn't the only reason the Supremes can take a case. It is a good one, but not the only reason.

I have said this before, we need to have some group that represents the handicap fight this. By having everyone limited to lower capacity magazines can and will be deadly to people that are handicapped with only 1 limb to use the firearm as they will be even more at a disadvantage in trying to defend themselves and when trying to change out a magazine. God Bless Smile


This makes sense!!. The other side uses every tactic they can think of, this is an angle that may have merit.

Not many of us will flame you for saying that. In fact I’d bet your opinion is shared by the majority on this forum including most LE.


I think next time that pResident Potato runs off at the mouth about evil assault weapons, Someone should ask if he’ll lead the fight by executive fiat to order his USSS detail to get rid of all their LCM, assault weapons and the rest of the weapons of war that have no place on the streets of America.
