A quick note: When I was laying in bed last night, still processing this brief, I realized that those states that are AWB laws and other assorted crap can benefit with what is being said in this decision. We have been given an amazing toolbox that we can use if we are going to speak in public and address our legislators or other ways. Read it and pick the best, use it. It is a shame for legislators that a court strikes one of their laws because it was deemed unconstitutional at the Bill Of Rights level.
Some have said that the burden is minor because there are other choices. E.g., Fyock v. City of Sunnyvale, 25 F. Supp. 3d 1267, 1278 (N.D. Cal. 2014), aff’d sub nom. Fyock v. Sunnyvale, 779 F.3d 991 (9th Cir. 2015) (“Individuals have countless other handgun and magazine options to exercise their Second Amendment rights . . . Accordingly, a prohibition on possession of magazines having a capacity to accept more than ten rounds applies only the most minor burden on the Second Amendment.”). But describing as minor, the burden on responsible, law-abiding citizens who may not possess a 15-round magazine for self-defense because there are other arms permitted with 10 or fewer rounds, is like saying that when government closes a Mormon church it is a minor burden because next door there is a Baptist church or a Hindu temple
I do believe this Judge is going the full “If Heller says the Second Amendment should be treated like the rest, by God I will.”
