#SCOTUS announced on Monday that it would NOT hear a major #SecondAmendment challenge to a Maryland #law banning #SemiautomaticRifles like the #AR15. As is the court’s practice, its brief order gave no reasons.

The move, over the objections of 3 conservative justices, let the ban stand & reflected the court’s intermittent engagement with #GunRights. It has issued only 3 significant #2A decisions since recognizing an individual right to own #guns in 2008.

The Maryland law that was being challenged was enacted in 2013 in response to the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
The New York Times · Supreme Court Turns Down Challenge to Ban on Semiautomatic RiflesBy Adam Liptak

I support gun ownership.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Get AR-15s, Semi-auto 9mm handguns, Shotguns, etc. Get effective and reliable weapons to defend yourself with. Get training and CCW permits. take advantage of permissive gun laws if you are lucky enough to live in a state with low restrictions.

Create community armed defense. Mutual self-defense of the community is important and necessary.

Dont let yourself be another murder statistic. Arm yourself. Arm your friends. Arm your neighbors. Train. Hone your skills. Defend those who are unable to defend themselves.

Stay safe. Stay strapped. Defend your loved ones. Defend your community. Defend yourself.

Sentinel Colorado · PERRY: Time to address Colorado gun lovers’ detachment attachmentBy DAVE PERRY: Sentinel Editor

> The motorist, 26-year-old Jose Angel Hernandez, is alleged to have shouted at a couple #cycling to get off the road as he drove his vehicle at a woman, apparently on purpose.

> The man she was riding with then opened fire on the driver –carrying a concealed weapon is permitted in #Texas under licence. A police officer at the scene was reported as saying: “He was in fear of his life, and he was trying to defend himself.”
