"The Second Amendment does not protect assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. It's certainly not what the framers of the Constitution intended when they drafted the Second Amendment."
That is precisely incorrect; in fact, it is the inverse of what the USSC ruled in U.S. v. Miller, which held that arms that are not in common use that "are [not] any part of the ordinary military equipment" are those not within the ambit of 2A protection.
Meaning that arms that meet those criteria ARE, de facto, WITHIN the ambit of 2a protection.
The lower and appellate courts must be shamed into rejecting the Red Queen declarations of anti-gun statists. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
