Kansas judge throws out machine gun possession charge, cites Second Amendment

A federal judge in Kansas has tossed out a machine gun possession charge and questioned if bans on the weapons violate the Second Amendment.

I always thought it does not make a lot of sense to regulate machine guns they we do. They clearly are weapons of value to a military / militia and should not be covered under the second. Same way a sawed off shotgun is not. The logic just does not add up.

Should be covered under the second, silly typo.

I'm not up on all the details about this, but I believe some are allowed, but I think they have to pre-date the gun control act of 1968.

Yes but that is a very small pool which is why machine guns cost tens of thousands of dollars. And if you don't buy one of those it's not legal.
