					<description><![CDATA[The legal logic is impeccable, the only problem with this suit I see is that, since Rahimi, I no longer trust the majority on the Court to follow legal logic where it actually leads. And the original ruling that the NFA could only be upheld as a tax law dates back to a time when the Court was much less accommodating to Congress&#039;s claims of unenumerated powers. These days Congress routinely gets away with regulations of firearms that don&#039;t even pretend to be based in the power to tax, instead they use the commerce clause, which the Court has edited to just read, &quot;to regulate;&quot;.

So the only question, really, is if 2 of the &#039;conservative&#039; justices think suppressors are &#039;icky&#039;.

But it&#039;s worth a shot!]]></description>

I&#039;m not giving Thune a pass. I called his office. 
1 202 224 2321.
I got it from a Brandon Herrera on YouTube. 

I hope you call too. And hopefully every reader on this website.

Why are you giving Thune a pass? If Vance did have the power to do that, then maybe he didn&#039;t want to step on Thune&#039;s toes. They have to work together for a few more years.

(I had a longer comment, but it won&#039;t post. The page just refreshes. I have no idea if it went to comment purgatory.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This lawsuit will be fun to watch, as I envision it may involve the use of one of the left’s favorite tactics against them.

FPC et al. will file this suit in one of their favorite “test case” venues (my money is on N.D. Tex., Fort Worth Division, where they will draw either Judge O’Connor or Judge Pittman).   They will thus have a friendly court, with any appeal to the incredibly friendly Fifth Circuit.

That’s a huge headstart.    

But recall who has to defend the lawsuit?  That’s right, the Trump DoJ, which is now actively pro-2A.   

So what might we see?  We may see our side take a page from the Obama / Biden administrations’ tactic of “sue and settle.”   This tactic involves the government collusively working with various environmental groups to file a lawsuit, which the gov’t would then just take a knee on, and allow a binding judgment to be entered.   The government would then point to the judgment and say “our hands are tied — the court made us do it”!

So here, imagine FPC / ASA files the lawsuit and moves for a preliminary injunction.   Trump DoJ says (as it has in other cases recently), “you know, the plaintiffs are correct — this law is actually unconstitutional, and thus we won’t waste the court’s time or taxpayer dollars defending it or opposing the requested relief.  Go ahead and enter judgment.”

Badda bing!   Binding federal judgment that the remaining regs on cans, SBS, SBR, AOW, are toast and thus cannot be enforced against FPC / ASA members.  (Hopefully they will file it as a class action so that the final judgment would apply to everyone.)

And when California, NY, NJ, etc., try and intervene and claim *they* object and will defend the lawsuit, DoJ will point to the various SCOTUS decisions involving challenges to the 2020 election results, which held that states don’t have standing!

Pass the popcorn.   This is gonna be fun.]]></description>

&quot;A blatantly partisan claim that a tax wasn’t covered is perfect cause to tell her to pound sand. &quot;

No it isn&#039;t. Being wrong is not grounds for overrule or dismissal. That&#039;s just a disagreement, its why she would do it that might be grounds for overrule or dismissal. If she can justify her decision she cant be overruled or dismissed, if she has no justification then she can be overruled or dismissed.]]></description>
