In a significant legal decision, U.S. District Judge John Broomes recognizes the Second Amendment rights of a 22-year-old Kansan to own machine guns, ruling against federal possession laws that prohibit such firearms. This ruling marks a departure from traditional interpretations of gun rights and could lead to further constitutional challenges against existing machine gun restrictions.

A “new report” from Everytown for Gun Safety is making the same old arguments against “Stand Your Ground” (SYG) laws in various states, asserting that such laws are “associated with higher homicide rates” and “increased racial disparities in legal outcomes,” according to a report in the Ohio Capital Journal. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
