The gun debate is always a hot button topic especially when it comes to hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and people living off the grid.
It seems that this topic just got a little bit hotter due to a landmark decision by The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals who have decided that the AR-15 is not protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Consitution.
Let's take a look at what they said and how they came to this major decision.

Good Luck trying to take them away.
Liberal Judges creating Law again.
Come and get it!
It is my belief, backed by the words of the constitution, that we have a right to keep and bear any and all arms that may be used against us.
Once again, banning weapons will only stop those of us who abide by the law. And criminals are criminals because they don’t follow the law.
They can$#%&!@*themselves
Just fake news,….
They can kiss the darkest part of my lily white a*s
who cares what the court says? they are over paid and under educated. we the people have the right and we the people will keep our rights.
Um not I live in the city… I need way more the someone living in the woods
Actually the constitution said “arms” and that weapon meets that definition, so by default, they’ve changed the meaning of “arms” and by doing so, they’ve opened themselves up being challenged ON MANY MANY OTHER WEAPONS, that they will be forced to litigate over and over. Then have the decisions reversed over and over
TRUMP IS COMING FOR OUR GUNS!!! OH THE IRONY!!!!!
It’s written that way in the federalist papers, and several other quotes by the founding fathers
Wasn’t aware that they excluded any weapons in the right to bare arms….Damn they were smart if they knew of ar’s back then
Corrupt judges fire them all and lock them up
If i want a frikin cannon ill have it..they wont ever see it untill.
FAKE NEWS
It says arms,period.Does not specify types
Trump isn’t coming for$#%&!@* You need to learn how to read, and comprehend what you read: THE COURT says AR15’s aren’t covered by the Second. Last time I checked, the Court was the Judicial Branch, and Trump is the head of the Executive Branch.
Not that I believe one word of this “article”. Until I see this “news” from multiple outlets, I’ll consider it Fake News.

PROPOSED EXECUTIVE ORDERDESIGNATES MILITIA RIFLES FOR CITIZEN OWNERSHIP
I wasn’t being literal. Just as Obama wasn’t coming for$#%&!@*…
They’re never going to come after “muh 2nd Amendment” anymore than they’ll go after “muh Row vs Wade”.
Those are just wedge issues used to herd the sheep to one voting booth over the other.
Shhh. No one tell them about the SKS. Been around for years and they freck on this look. They just don’t want anyone carrying same thing as their UN ghosts.
Yes, they are
Everyone request by FOIA a copy of the$#%&!@*Act.
And they definitely ain’t coming for my legal weed!
The 2nd Amendment claims the right to bear “arms.” The word “gun,” or “assault rifle,” are never written. I’m glad the Court interpreted this subjective phrasing in a reasonable manner.
Free people don’t need permission to own or carry any firearm.
Only slaves require permission (permit) to own or carry any firearm.
Arms… it’s says arms… not hunting rifles
Just more fake news….
It is its right next to musket and cannon.
Luckily, AR-15 owners are totally capable of protecting themselves.
Firearm is a firearm !
This was proposed and not effective yet.. as far as I have read at least. I best line of defense on this is to be educated and not jump the gun on it.. liberals want our guns taken, let’s all not give them reason to.

Molon labe my brother !
Bullshit….period…..
SCOTUS already shot this stupid non-argument down with Heller.
Libtard agendas suck and are un and antiAmerican
Looks like we have the “Nutty Ninth” and the “Fruity Fourth” now. It’s time to start replacing all of these liberal judges.
We’ll all be criminals soon enough. If we’re all criminals than the word loses all meaning.
This is bullshit! But just in case any liberals out there that want to try & take mine, bear your arms & let’s get it on……

Please don’t lump hunters in with anything ar-15 related. If you need that to drop a buck stop pretending you hunt and go back to Starbucks
Shall not be infringed.
