Is anyone surprised? Unless SCOTUS rears up an specifically directs the circuit courts to use strict scrutiny, we will get no help from them.

How is it that someone as intellegent as you'd think a judge would be, could think the AR15 (a civilian rifle) is a military weapon? Can we get a military person in court to verify that the military doesn't use the AR15? Can we get a manufacturer to testify to that end? Can we get a lawyer to explain that to a judge please??? What the fuck is happening?

I wouldn't say this is spreading. It is Massachusetts so they already have a ban. This just upholds it.

Banning the AR-15 does not violate the Second Amendment, only activist judges violate the Second Amendment.
When the Courts are allowed to use Mother Jones as an "expert" on guns, you know you're fucked.
Yet another judge who doesn't know anything about anything, and probably not using strict scrutiny.
A gun ban is, by definition, an infringement (ie: violation) of our Second Amendment Rights. There is NO justification to punish Law-abiding citizens for the actions of the few lunatics.
These judges need to be removed. They obviously do not understand how to do their jobs.
It's time gun owners push back against this oppression.

Just pray Ginsburg dies in the week and all will be OK.
Just another Politically motivated bench ruling inconsistent with SCOTUS previous guidance! Not a biggie, but is already fueling frothing mouths of the progressive affliction! Amazing how quiet and dismissive they all are of the SCOTUS rulings supporting the 2nd and contradicting rulings like this...

I hope this "judge" (communist/activist in black robe) dies a slow/painful death. First of all to call them military weapons is false and we all know that. Secondly even if they were, military weapons are supposed to be protected under the Second Amendment. Just read The Federalist Papers articles 29 and 46 and it clearly explains that.
Judge/lawyer means “ I’m smarter then you. You know nothing compared to me”
I just spent 3 days trying to explain to my ex’s lawyer that by signing the “release of liability” my ex will be removed from all financial liability connected with our mortgage. I was told that I was arguing from a disadvantage and my only option was to refinance or sell. Bank lawyer, and 2 bank reps told her she was wrong but she wanted written proof. Even after notarized letters were sent she still argued that in her experience this wouldn’t work. Meanwhile I was quoting sections of the divorce agreement she wrote and she wassaying i was miss quoting her.
They lie and twist words with such arrogance and disdain it can be infuriating

Assault weapons are considered to be military firearms, U.S. District Judge William Young said in his ruling, therefore disqualifying them from being included in a citizen’s right to “bear arms.”
Policy makers, rather than the courts, were better suited to decide on the regulation for the weapons, he said.
"Other states are equally free to leave them unregulated and available to their law-abiding citizens," Young said in his ruling. "These policy matters are simply not of constitutional moment. Americans are not afraid of bumptious, raucous and robust debate about these matters. We call it democracy."
WHERE DOES TRUMP STAND ON GUN CONTROL? A LOOK AT THE PRESIDENT’S VIEWS
The lawsuit was filed against state Attorney General Maura Healey last year by the Gun Owners’ Action League of Massachusetts, among other parties, who claimed that AR-15s couldn’t be considered a “military weapon” because of their inability to shoot in fully automatic mode. They also claimed the ban infringed on Second Amendment rights.
That notion was ruled out, however, as the judge pointed out that the design of semi-automatic AR-15's is based on guns "that were first manufactured for military purposes" and that the AR-15 is "common and well-known in the military."
"The AR-15 and its analogs, along with large capacity magazines, are simply not weapons within the original meaning of the individual constitutional right to 'bear arms,'" Young said.
Young also upheld Healey's 2016 enforcement notice to gun sellers and manufacturers clarifying what constitutes a "copy" or "duplicate" weapon under the 1998 assault weapon ban, including copies of the Colt AR-15 and the Kalashnikov AK-47.
The Massachusetts assault weapons ban mirrors the federal ban that expired in 2004. It bans the sale of specific and name-brand weapons and explicitly bans copies or duplicates of those weapons.

Except justice Thomas and possibly Gorsuch, the pretend "Conservatives" on the Supreme Court only are obsessed with so-called "social conservative" or religous-right issues; unless abortion or homosexuality is involved they do not seem to care.

She would need to take Alito, Roberts, Kennedy, and the other liberals with her to change the Court to be pro-Bill of Rights.

damn good thing you guys own an Armalite Rifle and not an assault rifle. those Assault Rifles seem to be dangerous. An Armalite Rifle is just a commonly used rifle.
My point is, everyone should just start using Armalite and not Assault ..... just making a suggestion

I seriously wish that people like this would become victims of a home invasion.
Even if no serious harm came to them just a situation to put the fear of God in them so that they understand how important the Second Amendment is.

A cherry-picked Liberal Judge ruled in favor of a Totalitarian AG.
Screw fighting this in the Courts.
Fight it in the Voting Booths.

These liberal activist judges need to declare what would violate the Second Amendment and define what an infringement might actually be. They define what won't but what will?
Put the other foot right up their asses.

Now thats the correct response to my snowflakey post.
Corrupt, unconstitutional laws are not laws at all.
We need to let these assholes know we will not comply.

I swear. These cocksuckers make me soooooo freaking angry. In their twisted brains, they can ban everything, as long as they leave us with the ability to have 1 black powder gun per household, with 10 lead shot only. Then they can say "we are not infringing because we still allow you to own a gun".
Our only hope is having the liberal avtivist on the scrotum die, quickly, so we can get more like scalia. Then they MUST take up cases to protect the 2a.
