Better we spend time and money getting rid of ridiculous bans on magazines.

26 U.S. Code § 5845 – Definitions – defines that a ‘silencer’ is a firearm

but…

the Trump DOJ (via acting U.S. Attorney Michael Simpson) filed a brief in the GOA case arguing that ‘silencers’ are not ‘arms’ (i.e. firearms) (but rather ‘accessories – thus, I guess, not covered by the 2A). He wants to halt the case.

If ‘silencers’ are not firearms then why is there a 4473 and background check and a tax stamp requirement under NFA for a ‘suppressor’?

Is the DOJ making a distinction here between ‘silencer’ and ‘suppressor’? The GOA case was about ‘suppressor’ so I’m postulating that the DOJ brief is talking about ‘suppressors’ since that’s what the GOA case was about.

Yeah, probably/maybe going to be some cases over turned if the DOJ thing is accepted.

DC votes over 90 percent Democrat. Four out of the top seven wealthiest counties/independent cities in the country surround DC, and they all vote Dem. After the country was retracting post-financial crisis, the DC region was still growing. Deficit spending fuels their wealth and power. There’s a reason they’re freaking out over the bureaucracy downsizing and the slashing of grants that power activist NGOs. They figure if they can’t use the bureaucracy to attack the R-led executive branch, they’ll use the judiciary.

John Roberts is wrong as usual. Having an unprecedented level of attacks coming from federal judges is the break in the norm. They brought this on themselves. It’s time to begin impeaching judges.

Time catches up to everyone sooner or later. Not so much it’s lessons, both of you point that out rather well in your own ways. In case it doesn’t come across well, not an insult on either side just acknowledging harsh realities you both point out.

In fact, the reason for the amnesty period in the 68 GCA (IIRC) is that the original 1934 NFA was found unconstitutional on 5th amendment ground (self-incrimination).
IIRC, the 4473 has also been found to be unconstitutional under 5th amendment ground for convicted felons.

Either way was figuring on continuously building on Bruen until we find a bigger stick. Really should start looking into NFA beyond destructive devices for when I move.

In a statement to ABC News, the HHS said that the department “and the Office of the Surgeon General are complying with President Trump’s Executive Order on Protecting Second Amendment Rights.” (in the video above)
