In a monumental victory for Second Amendment advocates, a federal judge in Kansas has struck down charges against a man for possessing a machine gun.
This decision underscores the ongoing battle between constitutional rights and overreaching government restrictions, often championed by Democrats who seem intent on stripping away fundamental freedoms. It’s about time we saw a ruling that respects the historical context of our nation’s firearm laws, rather than caving to the left’s relentless push for more control.
The case revolves around U.S. District Judge John Broomes’ interpretation of the Second Amendment, highlighting how Democrats’ attempts to impose excessive gun control measures lack historical precedent. By dismissing the charges against Tamori Morgan, Judge Broomes—appointed by Republican former President Donald Trump—has set a powerful example of judicial integrity and respect for individual liberties. The Department of Justice may appeal, but this ruling sends a clear message: the right to bear arms is not up for negotiation.
Prosecutors argued that machine guns should not be protected under the Second Amendment, citing outdated laws from the 1700s and 1800s. However, Judge Broomes rightly pointed out that these laws targeted the use of weapons to terrorize, not mere possession. This distinction is crucial in preserving our freedoms against those who would use fear as an excuse to erode them.
