KANSAS - Eight state attorneys general want the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a ruling on firearms accessories.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals made a ruling that firearms accessories fall outside the scope of the Second Amendment. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt joined other attorneys general in filing a legal brief on February 19th, 2019. They want the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal and reverse the ruling.
According to Schmidt's Office, he told the U.S. Supreme Court that the "right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment extends beyond a firearm itself and includes some types of firearms accessories."
"The lawful use of firearms – including for hunting or recreational shooting – is a venerable tradition," the attorneys general wrote. "This is especially true in Kansas, where its citizens recently and overwhelmingly voted to amend the State's Constitution to reaffirm that an individual 'has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and state, for lawful hunting and recreational use, and for any other lawful purpose' and the right to 'hunt … by the use of traditional methods.' The Tenth Circuit's unsupported conclusion that firearm accessories are categorically excluded from Second Amendment protection threatens … citizens' right to enjoy these time-honored pursuits."
According to the appeal's summary, "The Tenth Circuit's holding that all firearms accessories, including silencers, are not protected by the Second Amendment because they do not constitute "bearable arms" has sweeping ramifications. Under that logic, Congress could conceivably ban all ammunition without violating the Second Amendment, which obviously cannot be correct."
Kansas was joined in its brief by Arkansas, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. The attorneys general asked the Supreme Court to review the lower court's decision in a federal case that arose from Kansas involving an individual who possessed a sound suppressor.
The attorneys general appeal argues that "The Tenth Circuit also suggested in a footnote that silencers are "dangerous and unusual" and might be excluded from the Second Amendment for that reason, as the district court held. But in reality, silencers are in common use for traditionally lawful purposes."
The Supreme Court is expected to decide later this spring whether to hear the appeal.

In respect to the above post. The silencers seen in the movies don't exist. Sound suppressors help save hearing but the noise from them is easily heard. On a range they allow hearing protection but also allow the shooter to hear the range officer.

I know. we go to an outdoor one run by a club. Never over 3-4 people there.
My brother-in-law goes to a range. I don't know if we have shooting ranges around here bc most people just shoot wherever they want (even when it's not legal), but I'm in a rural area. We have enough land where we can safely set up targets & shoot. Hoping one day once we get the house fixed up enough that my brother-in-law & sister can come do some target practice when they are visiting.
Maybe we can get Obama and Holder to help out.

That's real nice country out where you are E !
Yup, its about 30 miles south of here near the border and Sierra Vista, AZ.
By the end of February, the students at Manatee School for the Arts in Palmetto, Fla., will see two combat veterans in body armor roaming the grounds, each carrying a 9-millimeter Glock handgun and a semiautomatic rifle with a 17-inch barrel.
If an armed intruder were to enter the campus, “we’re not looking for a fair fight,” Bill Jones, the principal, said in an interview. “We’re looking at an overwhelming advantage.”

Gun Laws Signed by Obama Expanded Rights
During his first term, Obama didn't call for any major new restriction on guns or gun owners. Instead, he urged authorities to enforce the state and federal laws already on the books. In fact, Obama signed only two major laws that address how guns are carried in America, and both actually expand the rights of gun owners.
One of the laws allows gun owners to carry weapons in national parks; that law took effect in February 2012 and replaced President Ronald Reagan's policy of required guns be locked in glove compartments of trunks of cars that enter national parks.
Another gun law signed by Obama allows Amtrak passengers to carry guns in checked baggage, a move that reversed a measure put in place after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Obama signed no measures that restricted gun rights.

A Strong Tradition of Gun Ownership
Obama often mentions the expansion of gun rights under those two laws. He wrote in 2011:
"In this country, we have a strong tradition of gun ownership that's handed from generation to generation. Hunting and shooting are part of our national heritage. And, in fact, my administration has not curtailed the rights of gun owners—it has expanded them, including allowing people to carry their guns in national parks and Obama repeatedly expressed support for the Second Amendment, explaining that
"If you’ve got a rifle, you’ve got a shotgun, you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it away."

Oklahoma passed constitutional carry today. Governor is expected to sign it in the next few days.
Concealed carry?
For a sec, I was thinkin' you meant mean lanes of traffic.
What are the rounds in the belt?
