Gun Makers Lose AWB Challenge

[MrBenchley]

"WASHINGTON (AP) - Two gunmakers who challenged Congress' authority to ban the manufacture, sale and possession of semiautomatic assault weapons lost a Supreme Court appeal Monday.
The court, without comment, rejected an appeal that said Congress exceeded its power to regulate interstate commerce when it outlawed such weapons in 1994.
A federal trial judge and the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld the ban. In its ruling last year, the appeals court called the law a permissible ``regulation of activities having a substantial effect on interstate commerce.''

You might recall that Navegar, one of the two losers here, used to advertise to the Soldier of Fortune crowd that its guns had a "fingerprint-proof finish".

1. They are out of business

Their guns are junk. Even the NRA admits so.

4. Still thousands are circulation across America

Many thugs/crooks own them.

6. Very true...

And a bunch of right wing nuts want to make them legal...despite voters' wishes.

3. Ah, the SOF, NRA, RNC monster rears it's ugly head again

Only to be slapped down by the Supreme Court.

5. Again and again and again.

The Second Amendment can be restricted just like the First.
