TX: Second Amendment rights aren't a gift from the courts

The majority opinion begins with an appeal to emotion, by citing a list of recent shootings. It then goes on to invent an entirely new test for Second Amendment policy - whether guns or devices have a military purpose.

“Whatever their other potential,” the court wrote, such weapons “are unquestionably most useful in military service. That is, the banned assault weapons are designed to kill or disable the enemy on the battlefield.”

These “military combat features” have “a capability for lethality - more wounds, more serious, in more victims - far beyond that of other firearms in general, including other semiautomatic guns.”

All judges should have manditory constitunial law classes, ongoing classes! And if they try to change the constitution from the bench they should be disbarred, and removed from the bench!

Didn't the SCOTUS ruling in US v. Miller come to the opposite conclusion?

"...In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a 'shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length' at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense."

This part of the ruling certainly implies that any weapon that HAS a military use should be protected by the Second Amendment.
