Fresh hell! Get your fresh hell here!
We missed this yesterday, but no way are we gonna let Ari Melber — an alleged “legal correspondent — off the hook for this:
"The 2nd amendment does not apply to AR-15s, it doesn't apply to assault-style weapons… that's a legal fact" – @AriMelber on our view of 2nd amendment being "defrauded" by special interests: pic.twitter.com/FM3pQjeXtJ

Beg your pardon?
Honest question: Would it kill the talking heads at MSNBC to learn what the hell they’re talking about before they just shoot their mouths off?
This is nonsense.

Well, that's wrong.

That analysis is wrong.

Apparently confused about the meaning of "legal fact"

Can you point me to the case where this was decided? Other than Melber v Reality.

"The 1st Amendment does not apply to Samsung Galaxy S9s" because SCOTUS has never adjudicated a case about Galaxy S9s. "That's a fact" https://t.co/tKaf13cSZk

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, except for AR-15s which are assault-style weapons, that's a legal fact you special interest dummy https://t.co/dV8pHYMLyv

Actually.. while the court has never specifically heard a case dealing with "assault weapons", the Court said in Heller "The #2A extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the Founding." https://t.co/BUUKncioEZ

They are jumping the shark now. They aren't even hiding it anymore.

Hey Ari, are you up for a thought exercise?

MSNBC didn’t exist when the Constitution was written, either. We’d better ban it just to be safe.
