M14 Shooter
The Light of Truth
Their dissent in Cargill:
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR,
with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting.
On October 1, 2017, a shooter opened fire from a hotel
room overlooking an outdoor concert in Las Vegas, Nevada,
in what would become the deadliest mass shooting in U. S.
history. Within a matter of minutes, using several hundred
rounds of ammunition, the shooter killed 58 people and
wounded over 500. He did so by affixing bump stocks to
commonly available, semiautomatic rifles. These simple
devices harness a rifle’s recoil energy to slide the rifle back
and forth and repeatedly “bump” the shooter’s stationary
trigger finger, creating rapid fire. All the shooter had to do
was pull the trigger and press the gun forward. The bump
stock did the rest.
According to the liberal minority on the court - AR15s are "commonly available"
If AR15s are "commonly available", they are plainly "in common use."
If AR15s are "commonly available" they are plainly not "dangerous and unusual"
As the various state 'assault weapon' bans their way to the USSC, the pro-gun plaintiff / defendants can add Sotomayro, Kagan and Jackson's dissent to their arguments against said bans.
Thank God for DEI hires!
