What the fuck is wrong with these people?










FUCK.







Discuss.




" (source: CT Mirror and Fox Ct affiliate)  Legislatures in response to the mass murders of 26 children and staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.





A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit unanimously rejected gun owners’ claims of a Second Amendment right to own large-capacity magazines and military-style weapons such as the AR-15, the popular semi-automatic rifle used in the massacre.




"We hold that the core provisions of the New York and Connecticut laws prohibiting possession of semiautomatic assault weapons and large-capacity magazines do not violate the Second Amendment, and that the challenged individual provisions are not void for vagueness,” the court concluded in a 57-page decision by Judge Jose Cabranes."




FUCK YOU Jose Cabranes.

The real question is "Doesn't this contradict what they said specifically in Heller?"
 












Decision

The Supreme Court held:




(1) The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Pp. 2–53.




(f) None of the Court’s precedents forecloses the Court’s interpretation. Neither United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542 , nor Presser v. Illinois, 116 U. S. 252 , refutes the individual-rights interpretation. United States v. Miller, 307 U. S. 174 , does not limit the right to keep and bear arms to militia purposes, but rather limits the type of weapon to which the right applies to those used by the militia, i.e., those in common use for lawful purposes.

Local politics are the most corrupt politics.  The federal circuits are only 1 step from the SCOTUS, but they're still regional, and they consistently make bad rulings based on political agendas.

Since Heller self-defense is the  "...central component ..." of the right secured by the Second Amendment.
The lesser gods of the Federal judiciary have ruled that, so long as government allows people to own handguns (the most popular choice for self-defense), it may prohibit possession of "assault weapons".

In summary no one needs a semiautomatic rifle to shoot a burglar so there is no right to possess one.

It does.

And that's what you get when you have a judiciary that is concerned with driving policy and not ensuring that our laws are permissible under the framework outlined in the constitution.

All we needed was a couple more years with Scalia on the bench.   Now we stand to lose it all for generations to come.

It's in direct conflict with the Second Amendment and Heller, but they've used the "unsually dangerous" clause to restrict them. And they will continue to use that clause to restrict almost everything in the future.

The 2A isn't a states rights issue, and I don't understand why some retards can't fathom that.  

The 2A reserves the right to be armed to the PEOPLE.   This is not the domain of states rights, anymore than it is appropriate for some states to deprive minorities or women the right to vote.

This is correct, which results in leaving the lower court ruling in place.

That is also what would happen if they actually heard the case and ended up in the typical 4/4 tie.

All things "conservative leaning" will result in 4/4 ties until Scalia's seat is resolved one way or the other.

The current make-up of the SC is leading to ties on a lot of politically divisive issues. Ties leave the lower court ruling in place unless/until they're heard at a later date by a full court and an actual decision comes down. No precedent is set because no decision is made.

First, the OP derped by claiming; "BREAKING: SCOTU'S upholds CT and NY weapons bans."

SCOTUS didn't uphold anything they simply refused to hear the challenge. So OP should really change the title to reflect what the court actually did.

Second, at best if the court did take up the case was to issue a split 4-4 opinion which (from what I understand) would have left the CT law in place, while at the same time lending an air of Constitutionality to it. At WORST would have been if Roberts or any of the four flipped to side with the progressives on the court. Such a flip would have enshrined CT's AWB into Constitutional law.

By not taking up the case it actually was a good thing, especially in the wake of the Orlando murder/terrorist attack that would have bound to color one or more of the Justices emotions. Currently nothing has changed. Bad for CT of course but good that a AWB wasn't ruled Constitutional by SCOTUS.

When states signed on to become part of the union, the ceded certain powers, numerated in the constitution. The Bill of Rights covers all citizens of the nation, and the states are not supposed to have power to limit the rights enumerated in them. The states don't have the power to limit your speech, and it doesn't have the right to limit the 2nd. The federal government is supposed to protect the citizens from infringement of those rights. If the states were supposed to have the power to limit those enumerated rights, they would also have the rights to keep women or blacks from voting etc.
