"[F]urther percolation is of little value when lower courts in the jurisdictions that ban AR-15s appear bent on distorting this court's Second Amendment precedents," he wrote. "I doubt we would sit idly by if lower courts were to so subvert our precedents involving any other constitutional right. Until we are vigilant in enforcing it, the right to bear arms will remain 'a second-class right.'"

A SECOND CLASS RIGHT?????!!!!!!!????

DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER!

After applying that new framework to Maryland's ban, the 4th Circuit concluded last year that the assault weapons ban is constitutional. Focusing on the AR-15 in particular, the appeals court found that it is most useful in military service and can be banned consistent with the Second Amendment.

 It also rejected the challengers' contention that because the guns covered by Maryland's ban are commonly used, they are protected by the Constitution. Instead, the 4th Circuit said adopting this argument would mean that any dangerous weapon "could gain constitutional protection merely because it becomes popular before the government can sufficiently regulate it."

And if you don't think it can get any uglier for the Sporting Rifle crowd....

Here ya go Cubicle ******.  This should really scare you:



Introducing the MCX-SPEAR, the civilian version of the U.S. Army’s new XM7 rifle. The MCX-SPEAR is available in 7.62x51 and coming soon in 277 SIG Fury. The next generation has arrived. The MCX-SPEAR by SIG SAUER.

The reason the Army is going back to a larger, more powerful cartridge is 5.56 is not really all that effective contrary to to talking points you use.  It has a longer effective range, increased penetration, and more energy.

Oh, and this was released first and was designed specifically for the civilian market.
