Default Halbrook via Volokh: Second Amendment Roundup

https://reason.com/volokh/2023/03/13...new-rifle-ban/

He begins
Quote:
The latest salvo in America's "assault-weapon" wars is the decision of February 17 by Judge Virginia Kendall of the Norther District of Illinois in Bevis v. City of Naperville finding that plaintiffs are not likely to prevail on their challenge to the bans under the city's ordinance or under Illinois' just-passed Protect Illinois Communities Act.

Just last year in New York State Rifle & Pistol ***'n v. Bruen, the Supreme Court said that "the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms," and that the term "arms" "covers modern instruments that facilitate armed self-defense" and "weapons that are unquestionably in common use today." None of those three phrases found its way into the district court's decision approving the prohibition of the AR-15, America's most popular rifle, and many other semiautomatics.

There?s been a couple of cases now where Judges claim to be adhering to Bruen, but are actually using the same dodges they used to evade Heller. Hopefully SCOTUS slaps them down.

Talk about willful ignorance...That "judge" Kendall has to know her ruling flies in the face of Supreme Court precedent.

I really think a significant percentage of judges hate guns so much that they will refuse to apply Bruen/Heller correctly. The Left’s bias against gun ownership is that strong. I wonder if SCOTUS has the fortitude to repeatedly slap down bad rulings?

I look at the Volokh Conspriracy on Reason every day - it is very much worth my time.
