Judge blocks Illinois ban on assault weapons

That’s really interesting. I thought he was a fairly adamant “2nd means all the guns” person.

I really don’t understand why people are so very against registration and training. I mean, I think it’s completely reasonable to have at least as much training as you get to operate the cash machine and fry station at McDonalds before you get a tool that can instantly kill someone at a distance.

He was adamant that the 2A meant all guns that existed at the time the 2A was written. That’s part of his near religious devotion to “originalism”. Now…where he might have waffled is in the definition of “assault rifle”. He would probably would have wanted a pretty narrow, tight definition of it in any law banning them.

i mean, if the only gun control law we could get was: yes, you can have a firearm so long as its one where you have to pack the ball and powder, and rifle the barrel by hand – i could get behind that.
