I love this.
A judge who understands how to take down a pistol, has ported blasters with red-dot sights, and loves the Constitution???
Judge Lawrence VanDyke uploaded this dissent to YouTube (full video here) on a gun case in California called Duncan v. Bonta that is challenging the state's unconstitutional ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
(You'll often see liberals in the media refer to them as "high-capacity" in an effort to make uneducated people think they are scary.)
The liberal judges say that the parts of a gun, like a removable magazine, are not actually weapons in and of themselves, and are therefore not protected under the Second Amendment. This would be like saying that the wheels of your car are not actually a car in and of themselves and are therefore not protected by your insurance policy.
Judge VanDyke, who knows the Founders meant everything from pen knives to frigates when they wrote "shall not be infringed"...
...pointed out that you could classify every individual part of the whole as "not a weapon."
Are grips, sights, triggers, and other elements not protected under the 2A?
After all, 600 years ago, a gun was simply a barrel on a stick that you pointed in the general direction of the enemy!
Unfortunately, the liberal judges are either as dumb as rocks or maliciously intent on overturning the Constitution (or both?)
Judge Graber, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, actually wrote this in defense of the ruling:
A large-capacity magazine has little function in armed self-defense, but its use by mass shooters has exacerbated the harm of those horrific events.
WRONG.
Bad guys don't follow gun laws. When they can carry unlimited bullets and the good guys are limited to 10 (do you know how fast bullets are fired in a gunfight?), the good guys die.
And let's be clear, we need the good guys:
After VanDyke recorded his dissent, the liberal majority was not happy.
Judge Marsha Berzon called VanDyke's simple video illustrating basic knowledge about guns as "wildly improper" and "egregious."
Unfortunately for California, the Supreme Court is standing up for the Second Amendment at the moment.
And so is Trump's new Department of Justice, which is set to review its similar policy that suppressors are not weapons (you currently have to get fingerprinted, fill out paperwork, and pay a $200 tax per suppressor). 👇
A big part in this shift is due to gun guys who have raised the general public's knowledge of blasters through YouTube.
Hang in there, Californians: By this time next year, you might be able to run a 50-round drum mag on a suppressed rifle chambered in .50 BMG!
