4th Circuit Court of Appeals rules "Assault Weapons" not covered by 2A
Mali:
The wonderful world of our liberal 4th Circuit Court of Appeals just proved that they really have NO idea about firearms as what they termed "Assault Weapons" are not covered by the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. Unfortunately, this is the term they are using for anything not a bolt action, single shot rifle.

The Huff Post took a totally different approach to the ruling:

They are just comical.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I thought assault weapons were already banned cause they're machine guns?

There is no outright ban on machine guns.....
The registry was closed in 1986, so no NEW machine guns have entered the commerce stream, but there are still thousands of transferables....
