SUMMARY
Defendants argument that machineguns are dangerous and unusual do not apply in the
instant case, as that argument merely refers to a time, place and manner restriction on the carrying
of firearms. Likewise, Defendants ban on entire category of firearms is unconstitutional pursuant
to U.S. v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939) and District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008).
The ban contained in 922(o) places a substantial burden on protected Second Amendment
conduct and serves no compelling government interest. Therefore, Plaintiff prays that Defendants
Motion to Dismiss, or in the Alternative, for Summary Judgment be denied.

This, the __4th___ day of February, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,

_/s/ Stephen D. Stamboulieh_____
