Kostas Moros: I don’t know how they typed this without any sense of intellectual shame. They are straight up saying “machine gun bans are Constitutional because machine guns are illegal.
On August 7, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that machineguns are arms under the Constitution, but found two reasons why restrictions on machineguns are permissible and not unconstitutional.
As is often the case, the characters involved in such cases are not the law-abiding citizens one would prefer to represent the masses. In the case of The United States of America v. Bridges, this is unfortunately also the case. Mr. Bridges almost struck police officers with his vehicle, shot at them, engaged in a high-speed chase, crashed and was then found in possession of a Glock handgun with a “switch” – which was classified as a machinegun for the purpose of bringing charges against Mr. Bridges. He was subsequently sentenced to 108 months of imprisonment.
In their 50-page decision, Circuit Judges Boggs, Griffin, and Nalbandian all concurred, or concurred in part, with Judge Nalbandian issuing a separate opinion. They agreed with the previous finding of the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee.
