Stun guns

Post by woodchip »

SCOTUS has vacated a ruling by the Mass supreme court that it is illegal to carry a stun gun. So it seems that SCOTUS is still functional and still believes in the 2nd Amend. Now what I found interesting was the specious argument by the State of Mass that:
The state supreme court upheld her conviction, ruling that Tasers were not the kind of weapons the founders meant the Second Amendment to cover.

So even a evenly divided US Supreme Court didn't buy into the argument that weapons not foreseen by the writers of the 2nd Amend. are allowed to be banned. The precedent rulings just keep making it harder for the Bradey Bunch to get laws passed to take away our firearms.

I'll even agree......arms are arms. Seems no real parsing, there. Then we get to the matter of restriction to military intent and usage.

If I was going to carry something for protection, it wouldn't be a stun gun. They have a spotty record of doing the job adequately.
