Federal judge rules Illinois assault weapons ban...https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/illinois-assault-weapons-ban-ruled-unconstitutional/
Give it 6 months before someone is arguing before the Supreme Court that “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” is an absolute statement and any gun control legislation is unconstitutional.
And the Supreme Court will buy it.
jordanlundThey’ve already ruled on that… repeatedly… but of course precedent means fuck all to this court anymore…
D.C. Vs. Heller - 2008

“Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms”
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008)
District of Columbia v. Heller: Private citizens have the right under the Second Amendment to possess an ordinary type of weapon and use it for lawful, historically established situations such as self-defense in a home, even when there is no relationship to a local militia.
