Law was passed following Highland Park shooting in 2022, and has been challenged by gun shops and gun rights groups
The US supreme court has refused to overturn an Illinois ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, which was passed following the deadly mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, in 2022.
The court rejected the request, made by a gun shop and a national gun rights group in an appeal of a lower court’s decision not to allow a preliminary injunction to block the law.
The second amendment tells us its purpose expressly and it’s not to protect the citizens, it’s to protect the state. You have it backwards. Read it again.
“Security of a free state” is the but you are referring to I assume. To secure the free state you must simply remove the tyrannical and authoritarian. The second amendment tells the citizens they are the last line of defence to protect the government against itself. An armed populace is a free populace, and that armed populace shall not be infringed upon.
An armed to the teeth populace at large doesn’t protect anyone’s freedom though, as we now see.
The armed to the teeth populace has protected my freedoms quite well. It’s always is the people, or children, who should have never had weapons for one reason or another that have poisoned the idea in your mind, and in all of those cases a more armed populace is a more safe populace, as those kinds of people choose schools, grocery stores, etc. where people dont usually carry.
You’re guns haven’t protected shit for you. It’s liberal lawyers form the big cities that secured your rights for you at the Supreme Court.
“Liberal” lawyers that have the ability and freedoms we all share because our populace is armed.
You’re in fantasy land. Crack some history books.
I do, go back to story books, they’re on your reading level.
