After all, if the 2A only protected the collective right of government-sanctioned militias to have guns, it wouldn't be reasonable to deny "military style" guns to the military.<br /><br />Instead, they move to deny an individual the right to own a "military style" weapon. Seems to me that this actually validates the individual right assertion found in Heller. I guess now they're going to have to deal with that pesky "in common use" clause...Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781711504345298784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-52711170271444670932017-02-22T15:13:42.805-05:002017-02-22T15:13:42.805-05:00Even before Scalia died, it was clear that there w...Even before Scalia died, it was clear that there were not 5 votes to slap down the circuit courts for defying the Supremes. Someone, probably Roberts, has defected from the Heller 5. So even if Gorsuch is another Scalia, it will not fix the problem. It will take another or perhaps two appointments. Unless there is a re-defection.

So the "military like firearms" doctrine bans rifles the military doesn't use but allows rifles the military actually used.

That’s one reason why it is a bad idea for us to challenge laws within these circuits because of the potential for seriously bad rulings we’ll be stuck with for generations.
