Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: These Progressive Cities Are Circumventing the Constitution These Progressive Cities Are Circumventing the Constitution By: Friedrich Seiltgen Progressives across the country are using the Parkland, Florida shooting as their excuse to ignore the Second Amendment and pass city ordinances banning “assault weapons.” The city council of Deerfield, Illinois passed a city ordinance in April banning the possession of AR-15s, applying fines of $1,000 per-day for non-compliance. “The possession, manufacture, and sale of assault weapons in the Village of Deerfield is not reasonably necessary to protect an individual’s right of self-defense or the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia,” the ordinance states. The possession of an AR-15 being deemed “not reasonably necessary for the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia” is particularly absurd. The AR-15 would be today’s equivalent of a colonial musket, and exactly the type of weapon needed for a Militia. Unless, of course, the Deerfield city council thinks the AR would be inadequate for a militia, and wants its community to be armed with weapons capable of firing on full-auto, as our military is today? The city council of Boulder, Colorado followed suit earlier this month, unanimously enacting a ban on “assault weapons” (as defined by the city), bump stocks, and “high-capacity” magazines. Owners of these items have until July 15, 2018 to dispose of them. Current owners of “assault weapons” were grandfathered in and will be allowed to keep their rifles if they receive a certificate by end of the year proving prior ownership. It was magnanimous of the city council to “allow” gun owners to exercise their Constitutional rights, but the ordinance was immediately challenged by the Mountain States Legal Foundation on grounds that it violates the Constitution’s second, fifth, and fourteenth amendments. The foundation announced they will name individual council members in their suit. Poster Comment: Our Constitutional rights are given to us by God, not granted by government. Any and all attempts to restrict those rights are unconstitutional and are bound to be overthrown. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

It just happened again! Why would an obviously intelligent writer call "liberals" and "liberal" cities "PROGRESSIVE"? We just give the whole game up by agreeing to use the enemy's lying buzzterms! But thanks for this important news, B. Since Tramp was such a dismal failure on the wetback caravan, maybe he'll redeem himself by going after these cities? He won't. But I can dream, can't I? _____________________________________________________________ USA! USA! USA! Bringing you democracy, or else! there were strains of VD that were incurable, and they were first found in the Philippines and then transmitted to the Korean working girls via US military. The 'incurables' we were told were first taken back to a military hospital in the Philippines to quietly die. – 4um
