"The Second Amendment guarantee of the right to bear arms does not apply to override state firearms bans, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit declared Jan. 28. Under the incorporation doctrine, only certain provisions of the Bill of Rights apply to the states, and the Second Amendment is one of those that does not, the Second Circuit held. ..."
"Read it all [links to articles and case at original post; click on title above]."
"Remember that the Second Circuit, which covers New York, Vermont, and Connecticut, is a highly-influential Federal bench. Accordingly, its decision in Maloney will be persuasive and will be cited by other District and Circuit Courts in ruling against the Second Amendment."

This one is aimed at restricting guns, forcing people to get a mandatory gun license that requires licensees that move to register a current address within a prescribed period of time or face a penalty, creates a tracking database for licensees, makes it a crime to allow someone under 18 years of age to have access to your firearm, and on and on ..."

Murder, rape, mayhem are already illegal, and they prevent nothing. ... anti-gun programs merely wind up criminalizing more and more reasonable conduct which never contributed to crime and probably never will ..." ... |
