SCOTUS Is About To Make Huge Judgement Some Claim ‘Could Lead To 2nd Civil War’

(Before It's News)

The court is contemplating whether to hear an appeal from Highland Park pediatrician Arie S. Friedman, who says that…

The Second Amendment to the Constitution has long been one of the most valued amendments of the Bill of Rights.

The amendment reads: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

Countless liberals, though, inquired whether individual citizens possessing firearms amounted to a “well regulated militia.”

The question was put to rest by the Supreme Court in the 2008 determination District of Columbia v. Heller. The court, in an viewpoint authored by Justice Antonin Scalia, ruled that there was actually a personal right to gun ownership for “traditionally lawful purposes” such as self-defense in the residence.

Currently, there is yet another important case addressing gun rights which the Supreme Court is contemplating taking up.

The case concerns a semiautomatic gun restriction in a Chicago suburb.

The court is contemplating whether to hear an appeal from Highland Park pediatrician Arie S. Friedman, who says that the gun restriction forbids him the capacity to utilize semiautomatic weapons to protect his family and home, which Friedman states is a right protected by the Second Amendment.

Friedman has presently lost his case in two courts, a US District Court and then 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

The National Rifle Association has submitted a brief with the Supreme Court in support of the court taking up Friedman’s case.

The court’s determination on whether they hear the case or not could come as early as today.

Semiautomatic weapons are recognized from automatic weapons in that semiautomatic weapons need the user to press the trigger each time one fires instead of automatic weapons which enable the user to fire many rounds while merely holding down the trigger.

The NRA claims that semiautomatics now count for about 50 % of all new firearms purchased annually.

What do you think of the semiautomatic gun restriction? Does it infringe the Second Amendment or not?

    Within the context of modern society, what we are talking about is the regulation of law abiding citizens. Shooting people is not like in the movies where you fire one shot and they hit the ground. If the person is armed they can and will fire back- and if they have an illegal fully automatic weapon, you don’t want to be packing your musket.

    An armed society is a polite society.

  • There are no gun restrictions in the United States Of America Constitution.

    There are no background checks for permission to own a gun listed either.

    Can you imagine telling Jessie James he wasn’t allowed to own a gun?

    He would have fell off his horse laughing.

      “Can you imagine telling Jessie James he wasn’t allowed to own a gun?”

      “He would have fell off his horse laughing”…..and shot whoever was telling him he couldn’t have a gun!! :lol:

  • Man

    restriction is not a ban… the 2nd amendment never stated specifically any kind of arms… so as long as you can still being your halberd, pistol or anti tank bazooka… who cares

    • A restriction may not be a ban, but all restrictions are, by definition, infringements, and therefore unconstitutional.

    • What part of “Shall not be infringed upon” are you struggling with? A restriction is a infringement.
      Look it up.

  • Read the laws concerning “Firearms” and the definitions of them. Reasonable people will notice something amazing.

    USC Title 18, 26, 27.

  • Revisionist history: “Regulated” as used in the Second Amendment has NOTHING to with passing laws or governmental oversight of Americans’ right to bear arms.

    This is something that the Marxists, Zionists, liberals, globalists and all the assorted gun grabbing fascists who want to take away your ability to defend yourself against an out of control government DO NOT want you to know.

    “Regulated,” as used in 1776, meant that a shooter had carefully calibrated the many parts in the action of his flintlock rifle or musket so that it would shoot correctly.

    The rifles and smooth bore muskets used in the American Revolution were not easily made accurate — most of the most widely used types had an effective range of only 150-175 FEET under good conditions.

    The process of “regulation” as it applied to flintlock rifles and muskets described all the many calibrations that you had to constantly perform on these persnickety weapons regarding the flint, firing pan, charge and packing to even hit targets within 50 yards.

    “Regulation” has NOTHING to do with laws as it is used in the Second Amendment! This cannot be emphasized strongly enough.

    Here is a link to a page that shows just how complicated it is to make a flintlock shoot relatively accurately:

    http://blog.davide-pedersoli.com/making-your-flintlock-ignition-faster-in-15-easy-steps/

    Keep in mind that the above page describes modern flintlocks produced with modern gunsmithing – the originals were even harder to regulate.

    When the fascists try to make the argument about “regulations” (as in unconstitutional laws to take away your rights) THIS is the ammunition you can use against them.

    Pass this knowledge around and DO NOT let the fascists use the revisionist “regulation” argument to take away your right to bear arms and defend yourself against a government out of control – the intent behind the Second Amendment.

  • Bearing arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED UPON. What is there understand? Any laws prohibiting you from bearing ANY type of weapon, is illegal to the constitution. It was a known fact at the time that there is no skirting around it, mess with any ones ability to own a weapon, and thus defend themselves, and you should be on the other end of it. I say any more attempts at infringing on these rights should make the ones bringing it up legally shoot-able targets.

  • With 88.8 guns per 100 people, ‘The powers that aren’t’ better reconsider their proposal for their demise.
    If we don’t protect our rights now, we will be powerless to do so in the future. God Bless America!
    The SCOTUS has already betrayed America too many times with our current dictator in charge.
    They need to shape up and do the right thing.

    • I believe the American people would turn on the Supreme Court of the United Sates and get rid of

      them before the American people would turn in to government or otherwise get rid of their personal

      guns.

  • The First Ten Amendments to the United States Constitution, otherwise known as The Bill of Rights, were formulated to Limit the Power of the Central, or Federal, Government and to Protect the Rights of the Citizens of the Free States. This Truth must be understood in order to fully comprehend and appreciate these Amendments. The POTUS, COTUS and SCOTUS would be Abusing their Constitutional Authority and Usurping the Rights of all Citizens if they Alter the Freedoms granted by the Constitution. It would then be the ‘Right’ and ‘Duty’ of the Citizens to remove their Fellow Citizens serving in the aforementioned Governmental Positions and Institutions, and to Replace them with other Citizens who will Protect the Freedoms Guaranteed by our ForeFathers in the Founding Documents of our Nation. This is the Primary Reason for the 2nd Amendment, and because it is, this Amendment, above all the others, ‘SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED’!

    INFRINGE = To “actively break the terms of” or to “act so as to limit or undermine”

  • The SCOTUS is bought off or threatened-remember Justice Roberts bought off in the Obamacare decision? The elite are sooooo powerful. Guns will go.

  • If you are ever asked if you are a citizen of the US NEVER consent by answering ‘yes’. Always tell officials you are one of ‘the people’.
    The people own the government and have all rights under the constitution whereas citizens are owned by the state and have no rights except those granted by the whim of the state.
    Citizens can legally have their guns taken away by the state, the people can never have their guns taken away except through criminality.
    NEVER recognise or consent to any court proceedings that treats you merely as a citizen. Always file a countermotion to any civil suit and file it in a court of record which proceeds at the common law where you are one of the people and thus the sovereign.
    It’s so simple but so few k now about it,
    See Bill Thornton’s instructional videos on you tube and learn how to defend yourselves against an out of control state.
    Peace and light

  • Stand Your Ground Against the Tyranny ! “DICK ACT of 1902 – CAN’T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN) – Protection Against Tyrannical Government This criminal Cabal is counting on the fact that the American Citizens don’t know this, their rights and the constitution. Don’t prove them right. http://armsandthelaw.com/archives/2013/01/dick_act_mythma.php
