DOJ Tells Court NJ’s AR-15 and Magazine Bans Violates Second Amendment [More]
As much as I point out administration failings, and I do because we have to know how to steer them to do better, I also have to applaud when they do good, and acknowledge no other president and DOJ in my lifetime have even come close to defending 2A like this.
That said, I fear “common use” can turn into a trap so I’m glad to see they also didn’t ignore the Militia aspect in their brief.

Mark W. Smith says they’re “GREAT 2A ARGUMENTS.”
I’d feel better if they cited the word “militia” more than once, and that just to quote the amendment.

US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has decided to hear en banc the Bianchi v. Brown MD “assault weapon” ban case and, thus, prevent a likely favor 2A ruling from being issued by the three-judge panel of that court. [Watch]

Nor will changing out the barrels avoid redesignation as banned “assault weapons” under Connecticut law. [More]
Damned if they did, damned if they didn’t.
“…Our work continues to limit the number of bullets that can be in a cartridge… ” [More]
And don’t forget the shoulder thing that goes up!
Who better to ban things than dolts who don’t know what they’re talking about? And it’s not like those applauding him have a clue.

Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D. tells me “With Biden trying to pass the ‘assault weapons’ [ban] during the lame duck Congress, I reposted this.”
Large-capacity magazines are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment because they are not essential to the use of firearms… Additionally, large-capacity magazines are not protected “arms” because they are not commonly used for self-defense. [More]
Since that directly follows an “Overview of Bruen’s text-and-history standard for analyzing Second Amendment claims,” I wonder what Tench would say to that…?
Legal weasel Rob Bonta proves the point that if you limit arguments to “self-defense” and ignore core purpose, you’re not using every means at your disposal.
