reagan appointee quotes scalia in upholding gun ban

[del]

Massachusetts’ beefed-up ban on assault weapons doesn’t violate the Second Amendment of the Constitution, a U.S. judge ruled, handing a victory to gun-control advocates seeking to pass such a law nationwide following a spate of deadly mass shootings.

"The AR-15 and its analogs, along with large capacity magazines, are simply not weapons within the original meaning of the individual constitutional rights to ‘bear arms,’" U.S. District Judge William Young wrote in a decision Thursday in Boston, dismissing a lawsuit over the state law....

Young, nominated by former President Ronald Reagan, backed his decision by quoting the late conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the majority opinion in a landmark 2008 decision that overturned Washington’s ban on hand guns. The ruling expanded individual gun rights but said the right isn’t unlimited.

"Weapons that are most useful in military service -- M-16 rifles and the like" aren’t protected by the Second Amendment and "may be banned," Young quoted Scalia as saying.

Young also rejected attempts by the gun-rights group to challenge the ban on the grounds that AR-15s are extremely popular in the U.S.

"The AR-15’s present day popularity is not constitutionally material," Young said. "This is because the words of our Constitution are not mutable. They mean the same today as they did 227 years ago when the Second Amendment was adopted."

The case is Worman v. Baker, 1:17-cv-10107, U.S. District Court District of Massachusetts (Boston).

Judge: Assault weapons ban doesn't violate 2nd Amendment

Ahhh...so it looks like a rare victory for common sense:

"Assault weapons and large-capacity magazines are not protected by the Second Amendment, a federal judge said in a ruling Friday upholding Massachusetts' ban on the weapons.

U.S. District Judge William Young dismissed a lawsuit challenging the 20-year-old ban, saying assault weapons are military firearms that fall beyond the reach of the constitutional right to "bear arms."

Regulation of the weapons is a matter of policy, not for the courts, he said.

"Other states are equally free to leave them unregulated and available to their law-abiding citizens," Young said. "These policy matters are simply not of constitutional moment. Americans are not afraid of bumptious, raucous and robust debate about these matters. We call it democracy.""

And before we start the round of calling out 'liberal' judges...U.S. District Judge William Young --was appointed by ..Ronald Reagan.

Good good...we need a good lawsuit to reach the Supreme Court. You idiots just won't leave things be so whatever...have to be smacked in the head once again.

‘Regulation of the weapons is a matter of policy, not for the courts, he said.

"Other states are equally free to leave them unregulated and available to their law-abiding citizens," Young said. "These policy matters are simply not of constitutional moment. Americans are not afraid of bumptious, raucous and robust debate about these matters. We call it democracy.""’ ibid

And this is consistent with “states’ rights” dogma propagated by conservatives.

The ruling is also consistent with that of other District courts and two Federal courts of appeal.

The constitutionality of assault weapon bans is not yet ripe for judicial review; indeed, the Supreme Court continues to refuse to hear such cases.

Well..child....law-abiding people will. Lawbreakers...will be charged and prosecuted..and in a delicious bit of irony..they'll lose their gun rights. I bet most will simply obey the law.
