During the AR-15 Ban hearing, or as they like to deceitfully mislabel it, the “Assault Weapons ban” hearing, the Democrat politicians in the House made it clear they wanted to defy the United States Supreme Court.
In an exchange between (R)Dan Bishop and Chairman of the Judiciary Committee (D)Jerry Nadler, they confirmed just that: (R)Dan Bishop: Is there anyone on the other side that would dispute that this bill would ban weapons that are in common use in the United States Today?
(D)Jerry Nadler: Yea, That’s the point of the bill (R)Dan Bishop: To clarify Mr. Chairman, you’re saying it is the point of the bill to ban weapons that are in common use in the United States Today?
(D)Jerry Nadler: Yes, The problem is they are in common use.
The supreme court made vital rulings on the second amendment in the Miller and Heller cases.
These cases, as a precedent, established explicitly that you have an individual right to keep and bear arms and determined that what the second amendment covers are weapons in common use.
Anytime the supreme court says anything about the constitutionality of a firearm, what they’re going to try to do is find a way to create a law to get around it.
This is ironic because these are the same people who like to talk about so-called loopholes in the gun laws while trying to find loopholes in supreme court decisions to pass gun control laws.
But he did expose how their overall goal is to ban firearms. AR-15s are in common use.
There are over 20 million of them. They don’t care about the supreme court decision even though they are in politics creating laws that are supposed to be based on the constitution.
This begs the question, does it make the anti-gun politicians the real criminals? Don’t ever forget…. Yes, AR-15s are protected by the second amendment: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
It didn’t say only handguns it said arms!
