Gun Owners Plead with SCOTUS to Spank 7th Circuit AW Ban!
In 2023, the year after the seminal Supreme Court’s Second Amendment decision of Bruen, the state of Illinois chose rebellion and passed into law the most severe gun control law in its 200 year history, effectively banning both “assault weapons” and many other commonly owned firearms.
An suit by gun owners brought by gun owners against the new law failed in Federal trial court, and appeal of that decision to the Federal 7th Circuit also failed.
Last December the US Supreme Court refused to stay that law pending its becoming effective, in a decision that earned a scathing dissent from Justice Clarence Thomas, the primary author of Bruen.
Now that the law has taken effect Illinois gun owners are again petitioning the US Supreme Court to invalidate this Illinois gun law on its merits, as violative of the Second Amendment.
In today’s show we read through this request to the Supreme Court, formally known as a petition for writ for certiorari, filed just last week. This petition shows in clear and direct language how severely the Illinois state government and the 7th Circuit has rebelled against the clear demands of Bruen.

I really hate that propagandists have convinced idiots that a 10 round rifle magazine is somehow "standard" for "the AR platform" and 30 is somehow "high capacity".
Use of firearms by police are for defensive use only. If these firearms are for assault weapons, why are the Police, allowed to have them if they're to only use their weapons for defensive use?
I’m hoping that and as a matter of fact I’m praying that SCOTUS grants certiorari to one of these cases in the fourth and seventh district challenging the so called “assault rifle, magazine capacity ban and unlawful draconian registration of our lawfully purchased firearms because since 2008 the rogue activists inferior circus 🤡 court of appeals have been thumbing their noses at the Heller McDonald, and now the Bruen decisions. It’s time for SCOTUS to put up or shut up for it’s been waaaaaay long for justice for We The People!!! It’s time that these courts be brought into compliance with the Heller decision!!! It’s time for We The People to stop suffering under the cruel and unjust unconstitutional gun control laws!!! It’s time to stop this constant encroachment on our God given Constitutional rights. It’s time to stop the emboldened efforts of gun control mafia spreading their anti gun philosophies throughout this great land we call the United States of America!!! If this rapidly spreading cancer of gun hating judges and legislators is continued to be allowed to have their way in this nation this country will sink to the pits of disarray!!! May God bless America and what’s left of our Second Amendment rights!!!
I'm beginning to think that a majority of SCOTUS justices do think of the 2A as a second class right and will most likely do nothing. They feel they are the only way to hold 2A down since they may never have the popular vote to amend or repeal the 2A.
I've never been fond of the common use test in determining the constitutionality of an arm. An arm needs to be defined by its use, not by how many are in circulation. A unique arm of one shouldn't be subject to restriction because your neighbor doesn't own one, too.
The historical tradition of citizens owning arms is that the military did NOT possess the most advanced arms at the time of the revolutionary war. It was in fact the CITIZENS with Kentucky RIFLES that owned the most advanced arms! The Kentucky rifle had an accurate range of at least 3 times greater than the musket!!! The musket was only used by the military regulars because it could be reloaded faster than the rifle. The rifle was most often the choice of snipers. It has been claimed that the Kentucky rifle helped turn the tide of the revolutionary war in our favor.
Andrew, the threshold question as to whether an 'arm;' is covered by the Second Amendment is NOT whether is is commonly owned for lawful purposes. (22:40 in your video) That's the second part of the inquiry, assuming it is a covered arm – touches fingers with the 2nd Amendment.
The gun control lobby needs to put in place an "ANTI-ASSAULT-WEAPONS-SLAPP-STYLE-LAW" right now or this will keep repeating itself over and over again.
22:43 "an arm covered by the Second Amendment meaning commonly owned rifles and pistols" NO! not at the "plain text" stage. at the "plain text" stage, "an arm" means anything that can be used to defend or “[w]eapons of offence” that may be “use[d] in wrath to cast at or strike another.” NOT talking about commonly owned anything at "plain text" step.
OK, I'm a little confused. Why are we looking at a decision for writ of certiorari that was made in December of 2015? I thought this happened December 2023?

Andrew, it is pronounced Chuck "Ma-Shell"
A machine gun is not an ‘Arm’ eh ? Yea ok…sure.
Last dec? Freedman v Highland was a few years ago

Your applause sound effect isn't playing correctly for the last few weeks.
Um Scalia has been dead since 2016 so how did he write a dissent with Thomas? 🤔

23:05 alternatively at time of 13 14 15 amendmewnts after civil war
No, that time period can on CONFIRM, not serve as BASIS for the regulation.

Wouldn't Illinois' action also be a willful violation of Article I, Section 9's prohibition on passing and emanating an "ex post facto Law"?
