OPINION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger\u2019s hopes to ban AR-15s in the commonwealth were just stalled, due to recent rulings from judges that blocked implementation of gun controls passed by Democrats in the General Assembly that were set to take effect July 1.<\/p>\n

Attorney General Jay Jones has vowed to keep up the fight, and even after losing an attempt to consolidate several separate challenges to the ban into one case \u2014 so as to speed-demon the ban through a Democrat-friendly court \u2014 he continued to express full confidence in the state\u2019s case and pledged to go forth aggressively with the legal battle. That, even as the Department of Justice sued Virginia, too, over the attempted ban. And all that, even as the U.S. Supreme Court has accepted a couple of high-profile Second Amendment cases that could determine the fate of AR-15s around the nation.<\/p>\n

And so begins another round of reckless, feckless, frivolous, costly court dramas, courtesy of Democrats who love, love, love to spend tax dollars on their anti-constitutional designs.<\/p>\n

If Democrats had to pay for their own legal lawfare, court dockets everywhere would suddenly clear.<\/p>\n

On guns, on the Second Amendment, on using the courts to curtail the right of law-abiding citizens to carry, both open and concealed, Democrats never met a court ruling they couldn\u2019t find cause to continue to challenge. AR-15s may be among the most common firearms-of-choice for American citizens. Courts may have previously ruled that firearms not deemed \u201cdangerous and unusual\u201d are generally fit for personal possession. But Democrats don\u2019t like \u2018em \u2014 so Democrats won\u2019t give up the fight to outlaw them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And not only in Virginia.<\/p>\n

Because Democrats have pushed and pushed and pushed to outlaw AR-15s, as well as any number of other firearms and magazines they could sweep into suits against the Second Amendment, the U.S. Supreme Court has been forced to take up a couple of cases that will ultimately clarify the boundaries of the phrase \u201cdangerous and unusual.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawyers for Cook County, Illinois, who are defending that state\u2019s ban on so-called assault weapons, wrote in their filings to the high court that \u201cassault rifles are the weapon of choice for criminals and terrorists set on quickly massacring innocents, but are rarely put to lawful public use,\u201d The New York Times reported.<\/p>\n

So citizens shouldn\u2019t have them, they say.<\/p>\n

Connecticut \u2014 the high court\u2019s second gun case \u2014 has a similar ban on AR-15s, and attorneys for the state are making the same argument as those from Illinois. But lawyers for the gun rights\u2019 plaintiffs seeking to overturn Connecticut\u2019s ban say the AR-15 is so popular, it\u2019s been dubbed America\u2019s rifle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In other words: They\u2019re usual.<\/p>\n

Put another way: They\u2019re not unusual.<\/p>\n

Deep taxpayer pockets keep the Democrat-driven suits alive, though.<\/p>\n

Virginia is additionally making the left\u2019s tried-and-true \u2014 or is it tired and true? \u2014 for-the-safety-of-citizens and for-the-good-of-the-children pleadings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to keep our communities safe,\u201d Jones said, of Virginia\u2019s attempted ban on AR-15s; the one that was challenged by Second Amendment supporters practically the second the signatures of Democrats on the legislation had dried.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a parent, I have two young boys. I want to make sure that they grow up in safe communities, just like every other citizen here in Virginia,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s rich. How about enforcing immigration laws in Virginia \u2014 so as to keep illegals from murdering innocent citizens and such, and so forth, and so on? In April, of the four murder cases in Fairfax County alone, three defendants were illegal immigrants. Doesn\u2019t seem like a very safe community. Just sayin\u2019. Maybe more AR-15s in the hands of law-abiding citizens, not fewer, is the real solution to making communities safe.<\/p>\n

Anyhow.<\/p>\n

Virginia\u2019s courts \u2014 the U.S. Supreme Court \u2014 all the Democrat states\u2019 courts in between: The Second Amendment is the left\u2019s greatest villain and Dems\u2019 playbook seems focused on the singular campaign called If At First You Don\u2019t Succeed, Try, Try Again. And then when defeated \u2014 try, try some more, because after all, taxpayers are picking up the tab.<\/p>\n
