I can't think of any better time in history than now to form #militias.

...The #SecondAmendment was based partially on the right to keep and bear arms in English common law and was influenced by the English Bill of Rights 1689. Sir William Blackstone described this right as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense and resistance to #oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state...

We posted a video 4 hours ago from the courthouse. #ice pointed rifles at citizens in peaceful protest. We think too many liberal media personalities are clueless. They post memes and in denial, they ARE AFRAID TO FIGHT. #SecondAmendment time

More here Federal officers also "pointed their rifles, deployed pepper spray, and shoved people to the ground."

@Lana Notice that every accusation in this toot is a confession.

Hypocrisy is a feature and not a bug for these people.

They will be devious, hate-filled, silence critics, threaten consequences, deport, engage in treason, act out of fake concern, spit, put people on kill lists, incite violence, promote chaos, arrest, ban, and murder.

Unfortunately, I suspect the time for peaceful protest and an airing of grievances has passed. #SecondAmendment #Tyranny

What's the best #nonfiction #book about the racist true #history of the #SecondAmendment I should not-so subtly send to my dad?

More innocent victims of the second amendment, and this is as sickening as it is tragic. Meanwhile the rest of the world looks on in disbelief as America refuses to do anything to stop it…

#guns #SecondAmendment #SCOTUS #SupremeCourt

The study, published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics, examined the 13-year period after the June 2010 #SCOTUS ruling that the #SecondAmendment, which protects the right to bear arms, applies to state & local #GunControl laws. The decision effectively limited the ability of #state & #local #governments to regulate #firearms.

Something something 2A something 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 something

Maybe time to actually use it for its intended purpose? 🤔

I believe in reasonable regulation of the right to bear arms; but days like today make me glad we have a #SecondAmendment.

BREAKING: High Court Skips AR-15 Ban Constitutionality For Now
The #US #SupremeCourt announced Monday that it won't weigh in yet on the debate over whether #AR-15 s and other #semiautomatic #rifles are protected under the #SecondAmendment or potentially subject to state #bans due to their military-like capabilities.
#consider [via Law360]

“We decline to wield the #Constitution to declare that #military-style armaments, which have become primary instruments of #MassKilling & #terrorist attacks in the #UnitedStates, are beyond the reach of our nation’s democratic processes,” Judge Wilkinson added.

#law #SCOTUS #SecondAmendment #WMD #SemiautomaticRifles #AR15 #GunControl

The #law’s ban on what critics call #AssaultWeapons ban did not violate the #SecondAmendment because rapid-firing long guns “are #military-style weapons designed for sustained #combat operations that are ill-suited & disproportionate to the need for self-defense,” wrote Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan.

#SCOTUS #WMD #SemiautomaticRifles #AR15 #GunControl

Justice Brett M. #Kavanaugh, who could have supplied the fourth vote needed to add the case to the court’s docket, issued a statement saying the question was significant & could soon warrant review but that he hoped additional opinions from lower courts could assist the justices on the issue. He wrote that #SCOTUS “should & presumably will address the #AR15 issue soon, in the next term or two.”

#SecondAmendment #law #SemiautomaticRifles #WMD

“I doubt we would sit idly by if lower courts were to so subvert our precedents involving any other constitutional right,” [ummm what?] he wrote. “Until we are vigilant in enforcing it, the right to bear arms will remain ‘a second-class right.’” [#hypocrisy]

Justices #Alito & #Gorsuch said they too would have heard the case but did not provide reasons.

#SCOTUS #SecondAmendment #law #SemiautomaticRifles #AR15

“I would not wait to decide whether the government can ban the most popular rifle in America,” #ClarenceThomas wrote. “That question is of critical importance to tens of millions of law-abiding #AR15 owners throughout the country. We have avoided deciding it for a full decade.”

He added that the court’s commitment to the #SecondAmendment was inadequate.

The Maryland law was enacted in 2013 in response to the #MassShooting at #SandyHook Elementary School in Connecticut the previous year. It banned many semiautomatic rifles & imposed a 10-round limit on #GunMagazines.

In dissent, Justice #ClarenceThomas said the court should have considered the question, which the justices have repeatedly declined to resolve.
