Washington State Democrats Seek Bans on Semiautomatic Rifles, Pistols
Yet another lie from Breitbart, one of the more disreputable fake news outlets, devoid of credibility and merit.
Semiautomatic rifles and pistols will still be available to state residents.
Indeed, the measure is no different than other similar state measures which have been upheld by the courts as Constitutional.
They seem to be hell bent on the total destruction of their party. Not a clue as to just how many people cherish their second amendment rights
Wrong.
The proposed measure is perfectly Constitutional; it in no way ‘violates’ the Second Amendment, as the Supreme Court has never ruled on the Constitutionality measures which seek to regulate ‘assault’ weapons and high capacity magazines.
Last February the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit invalidated Maryland’s Firearm Safety Act, returning the case to the District Court for further review, subject to strict scrutiny.
Should this case make it to the Supreme Court, and should the Hight Court rule that the Maryland law violates the Second Amendment, then and only then will similar measures be rendered un-Constitutional.
The true threat to the rights enshrined in the Second Amendment comes not from those who seek to regulate firearms, but from Second Amendment ‘advocates’ who are ignorant of – or have contempt for – the rule of law.
