Federal Judge Strikes Down ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban and Firearm Registration, Upholds Open Carry

by AWR HAWKINS5 Oct 2016

With one fell swoop federal judge Ramona Manglona, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, has struck down the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands’ (CNMI) ban on “assault weapons” and firearm registration requirements while upholding the constitutionality of openly carrying firearms.
The case in which Manglona issued her decision was brought by Paul Murphy, “a veteran who served honorably on active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan as a U.S. Army Ranger, [and who filed suit] to validate his constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.

Manglona ruled against CNMI SAFE gun laws that limit open carry, declaring that “the Second Amendment secures a right to bear arms for self-defense in public.” She observed that “because SAFE completely destroys that right, it is unconstitutional regardless of the level of scrutiny applied, and the Court must strike it down. She concurred with precedent that finds certain “limitations” on carry to be constitutional, but observed that being subject to limitations does not translate into being “subject to elimination.”

None unless you live in the Mariana Islands.
