A real head scratcher...Judge says Americans have no right to acquire a gun...

[TheOriginalMexicanBob]

A Carter appointed judge states that while we have a Constitutional right to keep and bear arms...we have no right to acquire a gun. The judge is 86 years old...maybe it's time to put him in a home as that makes absolutely no sense...legally, Constitutionally, or in any way.

I think they throw as much crap in the gears as possible, knowing full well the extended time it'll take to clear the works and clean up the mess.

The Supreme Court should issue a national blanket statement banning all laws pertaining to firearms considering the blatant illegal actions from congress and state legislatures.

 

[mpollan1]

Was his statement written by Harris or Jean-Pierre?

 

[N3uka]

Was he mumbling "Get off my lawn you young whippersnappers!"?

 

[Occam]

Did this judge REALLY say that a waiting period is reasonable in the context of when the 2A was written because back then you might have to wait months for a musket shipment?

This crap always pisses me off, but this one might just redeem itself on humor value alone.

The text in the article was not a quote of the judge saying we have ‘no’ right to acquire. Is there a quote somewhere else?

His moronic point (which he can't truly believe, this is just more post-Bruen tantrum nonsense intended to make litigation painful and expensive for the plaintiffs) is that the 2A doesn't explicitly protect the acquisition of firearms, which leaves lawmakers and judges all the room in the world to infringe on that process. So he can give lip service to keeping and bearing, but feels no need protect the acquiring part from anything that anti-liberty legislatures want to pull out of thing air.

California and Maryland will quickly join the party with arguments that the 2A doesn't explicitly protect manufacturing, shipping, or even gunsmithing of firearms, so all of those things can be regulated into the misery zone so that nobody can afford the time or money to do any of it. Sort of like the arguments in CA about how the founders didn't mention ammunition in the 2A, so all bets are off on that, too.

Keep the works all gummed up long enough for a Democrat President and Senate to install a majority Leftist SCOTUS. They're playing the long game.

This video covers the humor pretty well, warning your head may hurt trying to follow the Judges mental gymnastics:

so he’s saying M4’s should be issued by the government?

 

[willtill]

Sort of an analogy. The chicken before the egg?

 

[BigMac]

I recently read an article from some nut running for some position in NY IIRC; he said if he gets elected he's gonna solve the world's problems by banning sales of firearms, using this same logic. At the time I disregarded him as a lone nutcase, now it's frightening to see a judge use this same logic to restrict gun rights IRL.

You know, the militia thing that we are all part of.

He’s not smart enough to recognize that it’s officials like him who make the Second Amendment necessary. Or maybe he is and is trying to undermine it.

 

[Bob A]

Judge is Present-Day Presidential material.

Someone should encourage him to run.

 

[gamer_jim]

So we can manufacture our own guns without any government intervention?

So we can manufacture our own guns without any government intervention?

Up until all of the "ghost gun" crap the answer was always yes. Now the waters are muddied in certain areas.

He’s smart enough to know he’s an elite and therefore above us peasants
