Sixth Circuit Admits Machineguns Are Protected by the Second Amendment

The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that machineguns are protected by the Second Amendment, but said a ban on the category of firearms passes Constitutional muster.

The case involves a man named Jaquan Bridges, 22, who is accused of having an unregistered machinegun. Mr. Bridges was driving on a Memphis, Tennessee highway when he nearly hit a police car. When police tried to stop the man, he fled the scene. When police caught up to the fleeing man, he fired shots at the police officers responding. Law enforcement officers were able to apprehend Bridges. Police then recovered a .40 caliber Glock pistol equipped with what is colloquially known as a “Glock switch” or just as a “switch” from the man.  READ MORE AT: https://www.ammoland.com/2025/08/sixth-circuit-admits-machineguns-are-protected-by-the-second-amendment/?utm_source=copy&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=SocialSnap
