9th Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke Gives Gun Tutorial in Dissent Video

[Excerpt VANDYKE And so ░░░░░░░░ grip all of these ░░░░░░░░ under the majority of ░░░░░░░░ s logic could be ░░░░░░░░ because if they were ░░░░░░░░ they would make a ░░░░░░░░ more dangerous and you ░░░░░░░░ put a different you ░░░░░░░░ put a different type ░░░░░░░░ grip on it if ░░░░░░░░ wanted to So you ░░░░░░░░ ask yourself well what ░░░░░░░░ of this pistol would ░░░░░░░░ protected as an arm ░░░░░░░░ the majority view Well ░░░░░░░░ suppose California would eventually ░░░░░░░░ forced to say well ░░░░░░░░ part the FCU I ░░░░░░░░ is the part protected ░░░░░░░░ the by the Second ░░░░░░░░ Every other part that ░░░░░░░░ added as I ve ░░░░░░░░ shown you every other ░░░░░░░░ that you added could ░░░░░░░░ be characterized just like ░░░░░░░░ magazine as an accessory ░░░░░░░░ you add to the ░░░░░░░░ and therefore could be ░░░░░░░░ in the Sacramento But ░░░░░░░░ so fast Even this ░░░░░░░░ the FCU the core ░░░░░░░░ part of the firearm ░░░░░░░░ be banned under the ░░░░░░░░ s Rationale The reason ░░░░░░░░ let me show you ░░░░░░░░ FCU This is the ░░░░░░░░ from my competition gun ░░░░░░░░ has a really nice ░░░░░░░░ a nice light crisp ░░░░░░░░ and has some parts ░░░░░░░░ in here it makes ░░░░░░░░ a really nice trigger ░░░░░░░░ can upgrade the trigger ░░░░░░░░ make it much nicer ░░░░░░░░ so because of that ░░░░░░░░ the majority s logic ░░░░░░░░ could even ban this ░░░░░░░░ or at least most ░░░░░░░░ it as simply an ░░░░░░░░ on it under the ░░░░░░░░ now protected by the ░░░░░░░░ Amendment Now most of ░░░░░░░░ I ve shown you ░░░░░░░░ I suppose be conceptualized ░░░░░░░░ upgrades if you say ░░░░░░░░ that s an upgraded ░░░░░░░░ and that s an ░░░░░░░░ takedown lever that s ░░░░░░░░ upgraded grip but the ░░░░░░░░ s logic works both ░░░░░░░░ I ve just shown ░░░░░░░░ how you could easily ░░░░░░░░ the sights how you ░░░░░░░░ easily improve the takedown ░░░░░░░░ you can improve the ░░░░░░░░ and the trigger You ░░░░░░░░ do the same thing ░░░░░░░░ a barrel but you ░░░░░░░░ easily downgrade all these ░░░░░░░░ parts of a handgun ░░░░░░░░ make the firearm less ░░░░░░░░ and slower You could ░░░░░░░░ in worse than factory ░░░░░░░░ you could require worse ░░░░░░░░ than when it comes ░░░░░░░░ the factory you could ░░░░░░░░ a grip be put ░░░░░░░░ that hurts the speed ░░░░░░░░ accuracy Indeed this type ░░░░░░░░ downgrade is precisely what ░░░░░░░░ majority is actually requiring ░░░░░░░░ his case As we ░░░░░░░░ mentioned earlier this gun ░░░░░░░░ from the factory with ░░░░░░░░ 21 round magazine or ░░░░░░░░ comes with a 17 ░░░░░░░░ magazine and a slightly ░░░░░░░░ configuration but the majority ░░░░░░░░ requiring that these factory ░░░░░░░░ parts be replaced with ░░░░░░░░ than factory parts a ░░░░░░░░ round magazine So if ░░░░░░░░ take everything off that ░░░░░░░░ majority might call an ░░░░░░░░ what we re left ░░░░░░░░ at best is this ░░░░░░░░ control unit And as ░░░░░░░░ ve explained even that ░░░░░░░░ be dumbed down so ░░░░░░░░ this part of control ░░░░░░░░ would be an accessory ░░░░░░░░ California s argument And ░░░░░░░░ course you can t ░░░░░░░░ this right it s ░░░░░░░░ You need all the ░░░░░░░░ accessories that I ve ░░░░░░░░ describing in order to ░░░░░░░░ this work is a ░░░░░░░░ But of course also ░░░░░░░░ of these other pieces ░░░░░░░░ like this magazine could ░░░░░░░░ some way be considered ░░░░░░░░ accessory since they could ░░░░░░░░ replaced with a different ░░░░░░░░ that would be less ░░░░░░░░ and make the gun ░░░░░░░░ dangerous and misuses and ░░░░░░░░ could be said for ░░░░░░░░ much every single part ░░░░░░░░ this handgun And the ░░░░░░░░ problem with majorities argument ░░░░░░░░ to other aspects of ░░░░░░░░ firearm that are less ░░░░░░░░ shown in the video ░░░░░░░░ fundamental aspects of how ░░░░░░░░ firearm operates In the ░░░░░░░░ argument I asked California ░░░░░░░░ counsel why California couldn ░░░░░░░░ ban the automatic cycling ░░░░░░░░ altogether under the California ░░░░░░░░ argument And again I ░░░░░░░░ t think he understood ░░░░░░░░ I was talking about ░░░░░░░░ this handgun uses that ░░░░░░░░ This uses the automatic ░░░░░░░░ mechanism and this semi ░░░░░░░░ auto loading operation is ░░░░░░░░ most popular mechanism that ░░░░░░░░ today and is used ░░░░░░░░ self defense But other ░░░░░░░░ exist for handguns including ░░░░░░░░ most obviously the revolver ░░░░░░░░ Here s a revolver ░░░░░░░░ of the six shooter ░░░░░░░░ the old western movies ░░░░░░░░ you can have a ░░░░░░░░ which does not is ░░░░░░░░ automatic or you could ░░░░░░░░ there are different types ░░░░░░░░ revolvers there are single ░░░░░░░░ or double actions You ░░░░░░░░ have the lever action ░░░░░░░░ could have a pump ░░░░░░░░ you could have a ░░░░░░░░ shot break action which ░░░░░░░░ has one round you ░░░░░░░░ open it up and ░░░░░░░░ another round in And ░░░░░░░░ California s argument because ░░░░░░░░ of these single types ░░░░░░░░ mechanisms are not essential ░░░░░░░░ make this handgun work ░░░░░░░░ make any handgun work ░░░░░░░░ thus are not an ░░░░░░░░ under the Second Amendment ░░░░░░░░ could ban the whole ░░░░░░░░ mechanism altogether thereby effectively ░░░░░░░░ semiautomatic handguns altogether forcing ░░░░░░░░ to use revolvers or ░░░░░░░░ shot handguns or worse ░░░░░░░░ of course with bad ░░░░░░░░ crazy heavy trigger pulls ░░░░░░░░ grip you get the ░░░░░░░░ Ultimately California s argument ░░░░░░░░ the majority has unwisely ░░░░░░░░ here is based on ░░░░░░░░ assumption that there are ░░░░░░░░ basic I guess unadorned ░░░░░░░░ any accessories firearms that ░░░░░░░░ be protected as an ░░░░░░░░ under the Texas Second ░░░░░░░░ but everything else is ░░░░░░░░ not protected accessory that ░░░░░░░░ been added to that ░░░░░░░░ that s unprotected And ░░░░░░░░ hope you could tell ░░░░░░░░ this video that that ░░░░░░░░ is simply unrealistic and ░░░░░░░░ could never be applied ░░░░░░░░ real life Like many ░░░░░░░░ these court s ideas ░░░░░░░░ the Second Amendment it ░░░░░░░░ from a basic misunderstanding ░░░░░░░░ how firearms work combined ░░░░░░░░ a highly unrealistic idea ░░░░░░░░ how such a rule ░░░░░░░░ be administered in real ░░░░░░░░ Ultimately the only rule ░░░░░░░░ makes sense and comports ░░░░░░░░ reality and the text ░░░░░░░░ the Constitution is that ░░░░░░░░ entire handgun here including ░░░░░░░░ grip the takedown lever ░░░░░░░░ slide and barrel the ░░░░░░░░ system and this magazine ░░░░░░░░ all part of the ░░░░░░░░ within a meeting of ░░░░░░░░ Second Amendment Thank you ░░░░░░░░ watching
