A federal judge in Kansas recently ruled that a ban on the possession of a machine gun was unconstitutional. The judge dismissed charges against an American gun owner who had been charged with two counts of illegally owning a machine gun.
According to The Daily Caller, Judge John Broomes, who was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas by former President Donald Trump, ruled against the machine gun ban on Friday, dismissing the illegal machine gun ownership charges against Tamori Morgan.
“The court finds that the Second Amendment applies to the weapons charged because they are ‘bearable arms’ within the original meaning of the amendment,” Broomes wrote. “The court further finds that the government has failed to establish that this nation’s history of gun regulation justifies the application of 18 U.S.C. § 922(o) to Defendant. The court therefore grants the motion to dismiss.”
The Daily Caller reported that prosecutors had charged Morgan with violating 18 United States Code § 922(o), which states, “it shall be unlawful for any person to transfer or possess a machine gun.”
