US judge tosses machine gun possession case, calls ban unconstitutional By Curt_Anderson August 23, 2024 1:54 pm Category: Law (0.0 from 0 votes) Rules of the Post Write A New Article How To Post Here

What could go wrong?

(Reuters) - A federal judge has dismissed charges against a Kansas man for possessing a machine gun, saying prosecutors failed to establish that a federal ban on owning such weapons is constitutional.

The decision by U.S. District Judge John Broomes in Wichita on Wednesday appeared to mark the first time a court has held that banning machine guns is unconstitutional after the conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court in 2022 issued a landmark ruling that expanded gun rights.

by Indy! on August 23, 2024 2:05 pm Remember the SNL skit where some small town passed a law that everyone had to carry a nuclear weapon? by Indy! on August 23, 2024 2:06 pm Hey that's weird - Benedict Donald showed up with no effort on my part. by oldedude on August 23, 2024 2:38 pm I'm really not secure I am with the ruling. That's been around for quite some time...... We'll have to see where this goes. I'm sure it'll go way up the line. by Curt_Anderson on August 23, 2024 2:48 pm I don’t recall that skit. I haven’t seen it in images, but it will autocomplete headlines after a single letter. by Indy! on August 23, 2024 3:11 pm The SNL thing was after some town passed a law that everyone had to own a gun. So the gag was the town passed a law everyone had to carry a nuke. So everyone has a nuke under their arm and they're trying not to get into arguments so nobody drops their bomb. by Ponderer on August 24, 2024 6:45 am EXCELLENT! I've had my eyes on one of these puppies for some time now. The guy wants seventeen thousand bucks for it though. I think he might take fifteen. Says he got it through a misdirected arms shipment. I just hope I can raise that kind of money before some deranged lunatic with deep pockets beats me to it. by oldedude on August 24, 2024 9:12 am I guess if you actually knew how to use it, it might be different. by Ponderer on August 24, 2024 9:19 am Oh the seller was quite keen to show me how it works. I said I didn't need any lessons yet though until we closed the deal. by oldedude on August 24, 2024 9:29 am What this guy had in his possession was a Glock "pistol" with an attachment to it that doesn't allow the sear to engage the trigger. Although this is a "fully automatic gun, my guess is that it's between a 9mm and a .45 cal. Yes, they are legal. Their firepower isn't like a rifle. It's a pistol that's really hard to handle even at "short-range" (within 50 meters). Myself? I think they're a waste of money. If I have a fully auto weapon and needed to get out to 700 meters, I'd much prefer an M60 with .308 rounds, or my AK/M4 without the full auto feature. Much better to handle. The M60 BTW is 27 lbs alone then there's ammo which is heavier than most hand carried guns. I'm pretty apathetic about this. At 50 meters, you might be able to stay on a barn side, but no guarantees. As far as point and shoot? after the first round, you're really off target. Maybe if you're in a room and want to waste ammo. I guess... by meagain on August 24, 2024 12:27 pm I guess that is a problem with elected judges. They may not understand law. Prosecutors do not have to show that anything is Constitutional. They prosecute according to the law and it would be for the defence to argue that the law is not Constitutional. That would then likely be referred to a Court where a judge who did know law would preside. by Indy! on August 24, 2024 12:35 pm That would then likely be referred to a Court where a judge who did know law would preside. IOW, a judge Trump was paid to select while president. by oldedude on August 24, 2024 2:16 pm Prosecutors do not have to show that anything is Constitutional. They prosecute according to the law and it would be for the defence to argue that the law is not Constitutional. If found guilty, the defense would start the appellate process. The rest of what you said is perfectly true. I Agree with you and support you, IF there is a constitutional issue, then it goes up the chain of courts who argue the law is constitutional or not. This is a "newer" law and I'm not sure if it's made it to the appellate courts yet. Again, I'm not impressed with the equipment to care too much about it. po- you still need a classIII firearms license. by Indy! on August 25, 2024 11:01 am So OD agrees Trump was paid off to pick a judge. Are we making progress here? 🤔 by oldedude on August 25, 2024 2:37 pm All I did was agree with meagain. You really need to understand how to read. I don't even think you get the words correct. by Indy! on August 25, 2024 7:23 pm Funny that you would use these words... "I Agree with you and support you..." ...in a post immediately after mine. But if you want to pretend like you didn't agree with me now? I'm not going to argue with you, Old Dud. 😌 by oldedude on August 25, 2024 8:01 pm It's obviously NOT part of a post to you. That is very much posted as an answer to meagain. Not everything is the world is about you. Especially when it comes from me. If I want you, I'll directly respond to you as I've done. If not, don't worry about it. by Indy! on August 25, 2024 8:23 pm Worry is not even on the radar. 😂 Go To Top
