SCOTUS Just Killed a Favorite Liberal Argument Against the 2nd Amendment

In a hasty move this week, the Supreme Court gutted liberal arguments that the 2nd Amendment was only intended to protect the American right to bear primitive firearms like the muskets in common use at the time of its writing.

The case came after Jaime Caetano, a homeless woman with an abusive ex-boyfriend, was arrested for defending herself from the abuser with a stun gun after police failed to keep him away pursuant to the multiple restraining orders she had filed against the man. Prosecutors charged that Caetano had broken the law by defending herself with the stun gun because the devices were illegal under Massachusetts law and not protected by the 2nd Amendment.

The Supreme Court cited Heller earlier this week as it unanimously overturned a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling in the case which maintained that stun guns are not protected as self-defense weapons under the 2nd Amendment because they “were not in common use” when the Bill of Rights was composed.

That, as you know, is also a common refrain from anti-2nd Amendment Americans who don’t believe law abiding citizens should have access to semi-automatic firearms and high capacity magazines. (Read more from “SCOTUS Just Killed a Favorite Liberal Argument Against the 2nd Amendment” HERE)
