The ruling from the Richmond-based court goes further than other appellate courts that have reviewed similar laws in stating clearly that “assault weapons and large-capacity magazines are not protected by the Second Amendment.” The majority opinion, written by Judge Robert B. King, refers to the banned firearms as “weapons of war” that the court says are most useful in the military.

What the heck does he think the second amendment guarantees rights to? When the second amendment was written there were no "assault weapons" or "military-style" weapons. It was arms IE weapons IE guns. Why is it courts these days want to make a distinction when none was established when the rights were drafted? Just like the first amendment doesnt guarantee freedom of speech online but its protected just the same.

I just dont understand how they think man. I really can't. I mean like any normal person I dont want to see violence and school shootings, etc but banning "military weapons" styled or otherwise ain't going to stop it.

100% agree. I've tried so many times to understand their side, and I just can't. It's just blatant ignorance.

Makes it harder to round all of us up into FEMA Camps if we're armed as well as the people doing the rounding up.

I know what these people think. They want us disarmed.

Wanna take measures to decrease gun violence in places like schools? Give the faculty a right to carry, then people will think twice before shooting up a school and if they do go through with it at least there will be a defense.
