The thing that gets me is the trumpchumps think that anybody who's anti-Trump is a liberal. It gives them comfort to believe that, for some strange reason.
But, I know many conservatives who are anti-Trump and I'm sure there are a lot out there (including myself).
Most conservatives are smart enough to recognize a charlatan and a phony when they see one. Unfortunately, BigDog, CFM, TDK and others on this forum aren't that smart.
I bet used car salesmen love it when they walk into their showroom.
Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”
Nobody is obsessed. This is a big story that shows what kind of person trump is and what extremes he will go to to keep it from his followers. No need. His voters are not budging. They do not care what he does.. He could fuck a hooker on 5th avenue and not lose his base.
District of Columbia v. Heller
2. Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56.
3. The handgun ban and the trigger-lock requirement (as applied to self-defense) violate the Second Amendment . The District’s total ban on handgun possession in the home amounts to a prohibition on an entire class of “arms” that Americans overwhelmingly choose for the lawful purpose of self-defense. Under any of the standards of scrutiny the Court has applied to enumerated constitutional rights, this prohibition—in the place where the importance of the lawful defense of self, family, and property is most acute—would fail constitutional muster. Similarly, the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional. Because Heller conceded at oral argument that the D. C. licensing law is permissible if it is not enforced arbitrarily and capriciously, the Court assumes that a license will satisfy his prayer for relief and does not address the licensing requirement. Assuming he is not disqualified from exercising Second Amendment rights, the District must permit Heller to register his handgun and must issue him a license to carry it in the home. Pp. 56–64.
McDonald v. Chicago
Justice Alito, joined by The Chief Justice, Justice Scalia, and Justice Kennedy, concluded, in Parts II–C, IV, and V, that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause incorporates the Second Amendment right recognized in Heller. Pp. 10–11, 33–44.
U.S. v. Miller
Most if not all of the States have adopted provisions touching the right to keep and bear arms. Differences in the language employed in these have naturally led to somewhat variant conclusions concerning the scope of the right guaranteed. But none of them seems to afford any material support for the challenged ruling of the court below.
In the margin, some of the more important opinions and comments by writers are cited. [n3]
We are unable to accept the conclusion of the court below, and the challenged judgment must be reversed. The cause will be remanded for further proceedings.
MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS took no part in the consideration or decision of this cause.
As you can see the rulings are clear. Your 2A right gives you the right to have a handgun in your home for personal defense. All other firearms are open to regulations by the states and/or municipalities. Like I said you 2A right to an AR15 or any other weapon other than a handgun in the home for personal defense can be regulated by the state.
