So thanks to Sportsman’s guide for the hookup guys and gals. Link is down below. Check it out. And I want to tell you all about this case. So I guess, how did we get here? Obviously, the Protect Illinois Communities Act, Pica was signed as fast as governor JB Pritzker could possibly do it, right after he was reelected. And it banned what they deemed assault weapons, AR 15s, semi automatic rifles, as well as those terrible, horrible, high capacity magazines.
You know, because people, that’s what was doing all of the, all the crime. These rifles and magazines were getting up in the middle of the night without their owners knowing. They were sneaking out of the house, and they were just assaulting people. Not the criminals, not those jackass thugs who were doing it. It’s obviously those sleepwalking, firearms and magazines. It’s just amazing. These multiple petitions for certiorari before the Supreme Court right now challenged the assault weapon ban in Illinois, saying that among many other things, that these items are commonly owned.
Thus they were banned in violation of the Supreme Court’s Heller decision. Also that they violate the bruins standard of text history and tradition because there were no bans on any of these things when the Second Amendment was adopted and ratified, ratified and adopted back in 1791. Text history and traditional. So obviously the Pica should be struck down. We all know that. We’ll see if the Supreme Court is going to get involved.
Now, the 7th Circuit, which is where Illinois is, they took a way out. Their position when they were there was an emergence or an injunction request was before them. And in denying the injunction, the panel said that, that these, these firearms were, they could be banned because they were machine gun like. That was machine gun like was a term that they used in rendering their decision not to take up the case, not to give an injunction.
So because they were machine gun like, they could be banned. So I guess you can ban anything that is, looks like, or I mean, maybe a child’s drawing, maybe, maybe some models, some miniature models. They’re machine gun like. It’s ridiculous. It’s an insignificant way of determining if a state can ban an item, which they have, they have no power to do. They can’t take away your rights, folks.
The government cannot take away your rights. We don’t get them from government. We had them already pre existing. The constitution just affirmed those pre existing rights. Constitution is a limitation on government doesn’t give them any power to take away our rights. So machine gun like the 7th Circuit also said that they were especially dangerous weapons was the term they used. And because they were especially dangerous, even if they were in common use, then the government could ban them as long as the government claimed that it was necessary to keep communities safe.
Well, they should just ban murder. They should ban criminals. Oh, wait, that stuff’s already illegal, right? Breaking the law, being a violent felon, a violent criminal, killing people just for whatever, that’s all illegal. Oh, well, we don’t go after crime in Democrat controlled cities. I forgot. Sorry, my bad. But like I said, we are getting very close to the day where the Supreme Court will decide these multiple challenges.
And they’re going to be doing that in their conference on May 16. So it’s right around the corner, just two weeks away. And I, I believe that they. Well, I believe they should take it up. Right. I think they should take up both of them, Maryland and Illinois, and. And destroy them so that all of the assault weapon bans, all these just made up bans on something because of a cosmetic feature.
Like in California and like in New York, like in Massachusetts, they should all be gone. They should have already been gone. But these anti gun states will find the smallest window of opportunity where the Supreme Court doesn’t absolutely smash any option of poking a hole in their decision. Like they’re poking holes in the Bruin decision. They’re poking holes in the Heller decision. And I want people to remember, we all know Heller, we all know McDonald’s, we all know Bruin.
Caetano is a huge case, guys and gals. It was unanimous. The Supreme Court, nine to nothing, said, hey, Massachusetts, you can’t ban in this case, stun guns because they were in common use. And there were only 200,000 owners in the country. An estimate, 200,000, tens of millions of these scary rifles. And we’ve already gone over the numbers in a previous video. I’ll poke it above. But when it comes to standard capacity magazines, three quarters of a billion of those are in common use in our citizenry’s hands.
So if 200,000 was a number, they said you couldn’t ban them because of, then what? Say them about tens of millions and hundreds of millions when it comes to the magazines, we’re going to find out soon. If you want to stay in the know, then subscribe to the Channel down below.
