This video analyzes a "common use" test argument used by anti-gun advocates to deny Second Amendment protections to semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 and standard-capacity magazines. The argument posits that if these firearms and magazines are not commonly used for self-defense, they are not protected arms. The video challenges this by discussing possession as a form of use, citing historical legal opinions, and emphasizing that the Second Amendment protects more than just self-defense, including recreational uses. It highlights Judge Vandyke's dissent and Justice Stevens' perspective to illustrate the differing legal interpretations.
