SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPONS AND HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES BANNED BY MARYLAND’S FIREARM SAFETY ACT, SEEMS DESTINED TO REACH THE SUPREME COURT http://crimeresearch.org/2016/02/4th-circuit-court-of-appeals-decision-strikes-down-semiautomatic-weapons-and-high-capacity-magazines-banned-by-marylands-firearm-safety-act-seems-destined-to-reach-the-supreme-court/ If the SCOTUS hears this case and finds the semi-auto ban unconstitutional based on "strict scrutiny" and "common use", the SAFE Act will be legally declared unconstitutional! It may take some time, most likely over a year, for the SCOTUS to hear the case though. Your vote in this next Presidential election may be the most important vote ever, regarding the 2nd Amendment. Why? Because the next POTUS may be able to appoint as many a 4 SCOTUS judges. Most pro 2nd Amendment decisions come down 5 to 4 now. Change out one pro 2nd A judge (two of which will be in their 80's) with another Sotomeyer or Ginsberg and the 2nd A will be repealed. If this "assault weapons" case goes to the court with the current SCOTUS judges, there is hope. If a pro 2nd A POTUS is elected in November, I'm sure none of the Leftist judges will retire and Ginsberg will do everything she possibly can to stay alive. But at least there will be hope for the right to bear arms in the future. There hasn't been as important an issue regarding "Guns and Rifles" in the history of this country. All firearm owners, that really believe they have a right to own firearms, best be concerned.

The SAFE ACT is completely lost within the state of NY. Besides the fact it's legislature is corrupt and it's courts are simply rubber stamps, the people in the state support it. The Supreme Court is the only avenue left for the repeal of the SAFE Act. Political? For those too blind to see it, ALL gun ownership has become political!

I read a news article today that stated Obama and many anti-gun politicians own stock in American Firearm Manufacturing companies. Surprised?

I know Jerkman. There are some people on here who have no ability to connect these things to NY or hunting. Their minds are too narrow to get a thin dime into.

This is the Guns & Rifles forum. This is about semi-auto rifle bans. This is about getting them to the SCOTUS. That covers the SAFE Act. Get it now?

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit has ruled that Americans have a “fundamental right” to so-called assault weapons, a major victory for gun rights. A three judge panel ruled that Maryland’s Firearm Safety Act of 2013, ban against what the court called “the vast majority of semi-automatic rifles commonly kept by several million American citizens”, is a blunt violation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution. “In our view, Maryland law implicates the core protection of the Second Amendment — the right of law-abiding responsible citizens to use arms in defense of hearth and home,” Chief Judge William Traxler wrote in the divided ruling. In his ruling, Judge Traxler sent the case back to the District Court for review, demanding they apply “strict scrutiny” – a stringent constitutional test that almost no gun control legislation can survive. “This case was a major victory for the NRA and gun rights advocates,” said Adam Winkler, a law professor at UCLA who specializes in Second Amendment law. “This opinion is an important one because it subjects important gun control laws to the most strict form of judicial scrutiny.” While the Supreme Court has not yet weighed in on these cases, Justice Clarence Thomas has complained that the Second Amendment was being relegated to “a second-class right.” “If a broad ban on firearms can be upheld based on conjecture that the public might feel safer (while being no safer at all), then the Second Amendment guarantees nothing,” he wrote, and added that those earlier decisions enshrining the right to gun ownership shouldn’t be expected to “clarify the entire field.” You can read the full ruling here (PDF link).

If you want the truth about Trump, forget the news media entirely and study the presidential run of Ross Perot, and how he put Bill Clinton in the White House.

No, it's the typical result of Leftist Progressive policies. You get exactly the opposite of what they say you'll get.

I believe that has already been done. Wait until they ban them country wide. The US will see that as a good idea to emulate, like they see Australian gun confiscation as a good thing.

Where in my post did you see any reference to race? Are you that narrow minded that anyone making a comment about riots is racist? I was pointing out the government's tendency to allow PRIVATE PROPERTY to be occupied, looted or destroyed, with impunity. There is a point being made about FEDERAL PROPERTY and the governments intolerance of being challenged. How the hell you see me pointing anything out about black people is a mystery to me. You really do suffer from a major "white guilt" complex.

Let the camel get it's nose in the tent, and you will soon have the camel in your bed.

Another good Hugh Glass article, with a drawing of his likeness http://www.nrafamily.org/articles/2016/1/19/hugh-glass-the-unbreakable-mountain-man/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=insider&utm_campaign=0216

Yeah, the government gets real upset when you challenge them. When your life or livelihood is threatened, not so much. They'll show up to draw the chalk outlines around the bodies.

Junkie, I assume you are agreeing with my post that the government will do nothing to protect private property and businesses from protesters, rioters and looters.

Coming to America soon. You can bet on it. https://www.oathkeepers.org/canadian-government-orders-residents-to-get-rid-of-wood-burning-stoves/

These two simply personify the goals and priorities of the entire Democrat Party. They are just egotistical enough to stand up and be lightening rods for their comrades.

Speaking for yourself with that post for sure. LOL!!

Maybe these guys should start looting Portland and burning it to the ground in response to the shooting. Perhaps the authorities would be told by the DOJ to stand down if they do.

Anyone notice how rioters and looters can destroy private property, or a business that took someone years of sacrifice to build, and not get shot, or even arrested, while some guys can occupy some piece of Federal property, without doing anything else, and get killed by federal agents? Does anyone else see the government attitude here? Do you believe the government is applying equal justice under the law? When did an offense committed against the government become more worthy of criminal consequences than crimes against citizens? Don't overlook the fact the government actually made excuses for the crimes against civilians, while viciously condemning the occupiers on "their" land. The moronic masses that aimlessly follow the government agenda don't have a clue what sheep they are.

Smells like 3rd grade now.

Found stuff about Johnson in NJ online, including the sign. http://www.johnlivereatingjohnston.com/ http://www.hiddennj.com/2011/11/hold-onions-story-of-liver-eating.html http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/33793 Found a photo in one of the stories too.

It's the smell I can't stand.

Horse manure from horse's asses.
