Maryland Court manipulates process to ban so-called 'assault weapons'

There are several constitutional issues with this Maryland law, not just the Second Amendment. Chief among them is the confiscation of so-called “assault weapons.”

The Second Amendment was not drafted to limit the powers of the people so government could protect them. The Second Amendment was drafted to ensure the American people could defend themselves, including against a government that went beyond its limited and enumerated powers. That’s why the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear “arms”: Weapons of offense, or armor for defense and protection of the body.

While the court may have “elucidated” its understanding of the Second Amendment, its understanding is not based on the law. The court provides no evidence that when the drafters or ratifiers of the Second Amendment said “arms,” they actually meant “arms that are not too scary or dangerous.”

In short, the court's analysis is not based on the language of the Second Amendment but on its desire to achieve a specific outcome.
