I have ANOTHER exciting release that I hope a number of states start to follow Hawaii's example. For too long the Supreme Court has overlooked the phrase "A well regulated Militia."
Finally an entity of the court (the Hawaii State Supreme Court) has delivered a biting criticism. The state’s supreme court sharply declared, “There is no state constitutional right to carry a firearm in public.”
They further express, "Justices Scalia and Thomas navigated around complex terms like “well-regulated militia,” significantly altering the government’s role in ensuring public safety."
Read this gripping report. Finally, a court that is taking the Supreme Court's lack of securing Justice, insuring domestic Tranquility, providing for the common defense, and most importantly, promoting the general Welfare. Hawaii's court has put peoples' safety above the conservative court's interpretation that ANY regulation of guns infringes on the "right to carry a gun" even if that gun is 50 times more powerful and 50 times more automatic than the Brown Bess Bayonet, Charleville Musket, Ferguson Rifle, American Long Rifle, or the Pattern 1776 Infantry Rifle.
The standard magazine capacity for most AR-15 rifles is 30 rounds. The calculation that a .223 round fired from an AR-15 can reach speeds of up to six football fields in a second was made using a 55 grain .223 Remington full metal case round fired at a horizontal trajectory. The muzzle velocity of this round is 3,240 feet per second.
Tell me why a man or woman, not in the military, has a need of such a rifle. They were made to do nothing but kill at a tremendous rate. That's why all the mass killers use them. It's their gun of choice. Maybe it's time to take that choice away.
Another solution could be to have ANYONE who buys any such high capacity gun or rifle immediately signed into the military service in which he/she would like to serve. They would have to attend basic training and be available (as the reserves are) for weekend service and continuous training until they decide to sell the rifle or gun. This would only apply to a high capacity firearms.
What do you think?
