However, they would not protect other rights and have refused to hear arguments over the right to carry weapons in public and purchasing rapid-fire weapons.

Dave wonders what gives the court the right to draw the line at handguns. Plenty of people agree someone shouldnt own a rocket launched, but a rifle isnt just for mass murder, he pointed out. They are used for target practice and hunting as well as home protection.

What is it about these assault rifles that would make the Supreme Court reject this appeal? Dave asked.

These gun grabbers are spreading disinformation aimed at the gun illiterate among us. Since these firearms are the least likely to be used in a gun crime, if they can ban them they can move on to pump action, handguns, sniper rifles, and lever action. In addition they are gun-racists because these guns are black.

Article I, Section 24 of the Washington State Constitution states: [t]he right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men.

It is very simple, Government keep your hands off citizens weapons.
