Massachusetts’ law prohibiting the possession and sale of some semiautomatic weapons commonly used in mass shootings is acceptable under a recent change to Second Amendment precedent from the US Supreme Court, a federal judge said Thursday.
Nah, this judge based the ruling on the principle that the banned weapons were unsuitable for self defense use. SCOTUS will just say that the 2nd Amendment says nothing about self-defense and that it clearly intended that every American should be entitled to own weapons of war so that they can be part of that well-regulated militia that they imagine exists. To celebrate, they will then overturn all laws banning the ownership of full machine guns, artillery, and missiles.
P.S. I’m really just being absurd here but I cannot honestly say I would be surprised if it turned out I was right.
