The anti-freedom forces smell blood and are working feverishly behind closed doors to get their agenda pushed through over the objections of the people, and in direct contravention of the Constitution and the Second Amendment... Shall Not Be Infringed, the founders can't be any more specific in wording.
Expect a lot of peripheral attacks on the Second Amendment, 'mental health', 'type' weapon/bullet/magazine restrictions, additional taxes on weapons/ammo.
This idiot was incorrect on so many levels, starting with... the Second Amendment WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR SPORT SHOOTING!
And this guy is a Judge, a supposed expert on the Constitution and the Law! This shows how the anti-freedom forces will bend the law and the Constitution into pretzels to try and justify their twisted anti-2A mindset...
Yeah, the gun control crowd always preaches that they don't wanna confiscate weapons, until they get the chance...
Politicians/Gun grabbers are already pushing for a federal version...

Federal judge upholds Massachusetts assault weapons ban
By Morgan Gstalter - 04/06/18 11:46 AM EDT
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit on Friday challenging Massachusetts's ban on assault weapons.
U.S. District Judge William Young said in his ruling that the firearms and large magazines banned by the state in 1998 are “not within the scope of the personal right to ‘bear Arms’ under the Second Amendment.”
The features of a military-style rifle are "designed and intended to be particularly suitable for combat rather than sporting applications," Young wrote.
Massachusetts was within its rights since the ban passed directly through elected representatives, Young decided.
“Other states are equally free to leave them unregulated and available to their law-abiding citizens,” Young wrote. “These policy matters are simply not of constitutional moment. Americans are not afraid of bumptious, raucous, and robust debate about these matters. We call it democracy.”

Illinois Town Bypasses Constitution, US Citizens Given 60 Days To Turn In Guns Or Become Criminals

Residents of a town in Illinois were just handed down an unconstitutional decree from their local government, they now have 60 days to give up their guns or be fined up to $1000 per day...
As the state promises gun rights activists they’re not coming for their guns, behind the scenes they’re pleading for it to happen. And now the feared gun grab is occurring. Residents in Deerfield, Illinois have 60 days to surrender their “assault weapons” or face fines of $1000 per day per gun.
The gun ban ordinance was passed on April 2nd with residents left with few choices of how to dispose of their valuable “assault weapons.” Upon careful reading of the ordinance, residents will be left with revolvers, .22 caliber “plinking” rifles, and double barrel shotguns to defend their homes and families from criminals who could care less about the law.
Fines for not disposing of the weapons range from $250 to $1000 per day per gun for those who choose not to comply with the city’s ordinance. While a fine may seem reasonable to some, as TFTP has reported on multiple occasions, failure to pay fines always results in police action. It is not far-fetched to predict major turmoil and arrests in the event of non-compliance.
One example of the so-called “assault weapon” is the Ruger 10/22 which can accept magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Even though the 10/22 is not listed in the list of guns the village wants to see banned, the gun cannot legally be possessed in the village.
Residents have been instructed to either sell their guns, transfer the ownership to someone who lives outside the village, surrender their guns to Deerfield’s sheriff, or begin paying the fines.

Police legally seizing guns under 'red flag' laws
By Dan Springer, 2 Apr 2018
SEATTLE – Alexander Mckenzie, a 31-year-old Army veteran who, according to court documents, is being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder, recently had his gun confiscated by the Seattle Police Department even though he had committed no crime.
It’s one of 27 guns seized legally by the Seattle Police Department from 16 individuals since last July under Washington State’s new Extreme Risk Protection Order law.
McKenzie had been acting strange, glaring at customers of a pizza restaurant while carrying his handgun. He now agrees with the firearm seizure.
“I’m grateful that the police got the gun away from me,” McKenzie told Fox News.
