7th Circuit Rules AR-15s Are Not Protected by Second Amendment

On Friday, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit overturned an injunction against Illinois’ “assault weapons” ban in Barnett v. Raoul, with Judges Ronald Reagan appointee Frank Easterbook, Bill Clinton appointee Diane P. Wood, and Donald Trump...

Based on the flawless logic that it resembles (but does not function like) a gun the military uses. Time for this 'ruling' to be swatted down...sadly it'll take a few months and the left will rally around this bullshit.

"In their analysis, Easterbrook and Wood drew attention to the Supreme Court’s decision in Heller which established that machine guns are not protected by the Second Amendment due to their exclusive military use"

Wrong. Heller was not about machine guns and did not establish that.


"The similarity between the AR-15 and the M16 only increases when we take into account how easy it is to modify the AR-15 by adding a “bump stock” (as the shooter in the 2017 Las Vegas event had done) or auto-sear to it, thereby making it, in essence, a fully automatic weapon."

So because someone somewhere can make it effectively into a M16, it therefore must also be a machine gun even though 99.9994% of the AR-15s ever made have never had those parts installed illegally.

Hope none of those justices threw their back out with these contortions. And 2/3 were Republican appointed.


Since Bruen, 99% of appeals courts are ignoring its guidance. SCOTUS is going to have to step in.

The parts of the opinion I read were poorly reasoned and ignored major parts of Heller and Bruen. I expect that SCOTUS will overturn this decision.

Just more lawfare by the Leftists in Illinois.

It's a shame there's no penalty for the judges for distorting a SCOTUS ruling to that degree.

Do you expect the judges in question to understand the complexities of firearm law? After all, they ain't biologists!

they should understand the difference berween dicta and Case Law.

The foundation of this decision is so bad it is almost as if they did it on purpose to hand SCOTUS a softball to overturn.

No, I expect them to comprehend the text of a Supreme Court ruling and have the capacity for critical thinking while understanding that their ruling must conform to the SCOTUS ruling, not that they have some free hand to twist the SCOTUS ruling to fit their ideas.
