Anti-Second Amendment Slop

A curious Amicus Curiae brief has been filed in a  Second Amendment case before the US Supreme Court that challenges the assault weapons bans in Illinois and Cook County.

The brief, submitted by “CRIME” is an unregistered group of people
whose acronym stands for Citizens’ Response to Increased Muzzle Energy founded by Lee Kranefuss (a guy who got rich in ETFs and decided to go into leftist philanthropy), who, along with whoever authored and approved this brief, apparently knows less about firearms than he does about generating ironic self-owning acronyms.

 The amicus curiae brief is rife with historical and mathematical errors that not only undercut its rather zany arguments but makes one wonder if it was generated as an anti-gunner AI's hallucination.

Hilariously, it asserts that Mikhail Kalashnikov based the AK-47 on the AR-15. The Russians will either be pissed as hell for such an ahistorical claim, or impressed that ol' Mikheail was able to travel into the future to see the AR-15 design and then travel back in time to "copy" it for his AK-47.

But that's not all, it makes a multitude of factual errors regarding firearms, firearms development, and ammunition performance, that anyone with experience or even spending a few hours with some hisotry books can see are erroneous.

Verily the brief by CRIME is a crime itself - a veritable fraud upon the Court. 

For that alone, the brief should be used for its best and highest purpose  -- as a last resort supply in an outhouse. 

On top of that, it proposes, with a straight quill,  rejecting Supreme Court precedent regarding regulation of  firearms and replacing it with a rather zany and quite simply non-applicable to the real world formula to regulate firearms  concerning muzzle energy produced per minute. 

It then misapplies its own formula, because math is hard.

Based on their formula, the AR-15 that they state should be banned for being above their own arbitrarily set MEPM formula amount, actually comes in under that same arbitrary formula amount.  Again, math is hard, and it is harder when you're stupid.

It's a pity that Amici aren't sanctioned for submitting briefs that contain easily disproven falsehoods and misstatements of fact that should be considered a fraud upon the Court.
