Justice Thomas: Of course, the AR-15 is legal under Second Amendment
Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas showed his hand on Tuesday on the issue of whether AR-15-style rifles are legal. His Second Amendment analysis: They are.In a brief dissent related to an Illinois ban on the “assault weapon,” Thomas said that the overwhelming popularity of the firearm, coupled with its non-military operation, makes it a clear fit under the Second Amendment.
His comments come as President Joe Biden is stepping up his assault on the popular “modern sporting rifle.” Biden was behind the 1994 ban and has been seeking to ban it since that law died in 2004.
The AR-15 has become the most popular rifle in America. The National Shooting Sports Foundation said that at 28.1 million, there are more AR-15-style firearms in circulation than Ford F-150s on the road.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the petitioners’ request for a preliminary injunction, saying the AR-15 is not protected by the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court justices have declined to get involved for now.
“We are obviously very disappointed for the millions of legal gun owners in Illinois by today’s decision not to grant emergency relief, but we’re not giving up. And today’s decision does not impact the merits of our case for our upcoming hearing on September 16h in the Southern District of Illinois,” ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson said.
“Our objective from the very beginning of the process that started the moment Gov. Pritzker signed the bill into law — was to take our case to the United States Supreme Court. And we followed through on that promise, and despite today’s decision — if given the chance, we’d do it all over again because it is the right thing to do,” Pearson said.
Thomas encouraged that plan. “If the Seventh Circuit ultimately allows Illinois to ban America’s most common civilian rifle, we can — and should — review that decision once the cases reach a final judgment. The Court must not permit ‘the Seventh Circuit [to] relegat[e] the Second Amendment to a second-class right,’” the Supreme Court justice wrote.
Give ‘em pure-T hell, Mr Justice Thomas, sir. Gee, wonder why the shitlibs hate the man with such bitter, wild-eyed ferocity. Puzzling, innit?
Lest we forget, “nice guy” and “good, good man” Pedaux Jaux Bribem was one of the main players behind the fabricated smear-job accusations hurled at Thomas during his SC confirmation hearings high-tech lynching, an abominable circus that put paid once and for all to the ludicrous mischaracterization of the US Senate as “the world’s greatest deliberative body.”
Oh, and about that “good, good man” nonsense.
The talking points must have gone out within minutes of the end of President Joe Biden’s lame debate performance. Among the first to tell us just how fine a man Biden was Barack Obama, who called his former vice president “someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life.” It is, of course, a lie. Biden is not a good man, and the idea he’s “fought for ordinary folks” for even a single day of his “public service” is risible.
Obama’s tweet also claimed that Biden is the candidate “who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight.” From there, the gaslighting grew exponentially worse.
At a July 2 fundraiser in Virginia, Democratic Rep. Don Beyer, whom Biden once called “Doug,” compared our disabled president to Jesus.
“He has been a good, good man. He’s resilient, optimistic, indefatigable, and above all courageous,” said Boyer.
On the day after the debate, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who admitted that watching the debate made him “weep,” assured us that Biden is “a good man and a good president.”
There was even a book published in 2020 that had the title “A Good & Decent Man: Joe Biden: Rescuing America.”
After wading hip deep through the malarkey, let’s look at the Biden record.
Read on for the ugly reality, which bears not even a passing resemblance to the above hagiographic, knob-polishing codswallop.
SCOTUS declined the case, but in doing so fired a cannon across the Seventh Circus Court’s bow, letting them know that if they don’t pull their collective heads out of a dark, smelly place, with a distinct PLOP!ing sound, SCOTUS will be happy to take up the inevitable appeal, take the Seventh Circus to the woodshed, and beat a tattoo onto their hindquarters long enough to leave marks, while setting national precedent.
This was Thomas and Alito eyeing that case, while putting on drool bibs.
Think a decision declaring not just AR-15s, but all magazines for same, and any similarly commonly-used weapon, and any future arm suitable for personal defense, and the ammo they use, all being declared right down the middle of the fairway as far as the 2A is concerned.
Which will create actual sh*t-fits in NYFS, Califrutopia, Massholia, and New Jersey in 0.2 seconds, as well as throwing Ill-A-Noise on its own arse.
The only thing missing from Thomas’ dissent was :”Do ya feel lucky, punks?“
