Nah, has to be BLaMtifa. /s
Just as SCOTUS was deciding a gun case across the street
It’s always interesting that there is a right to bear arms but not here or there. Maybe the only place to bear arms is in the closet.
Based on pics it looks like a rifle that’s not legal in DC due to it having too many features, and probably the named/clone ban.
Being from Atlanta I presume the fellow did not take the 16 hour class to put in for a DC carry permit, which doesn’t let you open carry or carry on the mall.
That’s a felony for the firearm, carrying it, one for each bullet, and each magazine over 10 rounds.
Wow. That’s bullshit. Every gun law is bullshit but that’s extra.
Tell that to the founders who were quite fine with them.
I actually fully expect many of these laws to be struck down, eventually, as they are pretty clearly in violation of the new tradition scrutiny brought on by Bruen. Heller is probably already gearing up for it lol.
What I expect to stay is stuff like the ban on the Federal areas like the mall, as it would likely fall under the “sensitive places” allowance. It will be interesting to see if the Washington DC ban on carry in any place that holds an alcohol license covers that, however.
Personally, I think that if you set up a gun-free zone you should actually fence/wall it off and have security to ensure it stays that way. All the federal areas that prohibit carry are already 2A and 4A free zones, so it’s not really a stretch to move from “you may be searched at all times” to “you will be searched every time”.
You can see my reply to SeaJ which gives more context I think.
The area this person was in is already an area where your rights are severely curtailed. You can be searched at any time, for instance.
Same reason you can yell fire in the middle of a field but not in a movie theater.
The best place for bear arms is on a bear.
Or against a bear. You won’t win that fight without a gun.
Bear mace has been shown time and time again to be more effective and safer for yourself and the bear.
