The tax stamp was reduced to zero on these NFA items. A federal judge ruled that with no tax, Congress has no power to regulate them (unless they renew the law under commerce clause power) and granted an injunction on enforcement, but to the parties involved in the lawsuit. The involved parties are really broad, like every member of the GOA.
Some places are selling suppressors with only a background check, not the fingerprinting and registration. The ATF did nothing. It is all very public. Other places are doing biz as usual. Still others are playing the waiting game and saving the paperwork just in case. The DOJ and ATF are being close lipped. They have 60 days to file an appeal.
Is this a ploy? Something else? Good news?
Letters of Marque were in a separate part of the constitution, mon ami, and the same people that amended the Constitution to add the Bill of Rights passed laws preventing the sale of guns to natives. Besides, you can't "bear" a cannon, so the Second Amendment doesn't apply to arms you can't carry.
The Bill of Rights didn't apply to the states, but only the federal government until the 14th Amendment. At the time of the adoption of the Bill of Rights, for example there were official state churches, despite the First Amendment saying there would be no law establishing a religion. It's called "incorporation" and it happened because the South left, and then lost, and the Republicans wanted a way to keep the Southern states down by giving full rights to blacks.
Yes, because they’re not citizens, not the same species, and were actively murdering Americans. The law didn’t apply to them.
Complete fucking bullshit, blatant judaism, and the sort of thing said right before my cannonball goes through your spine. The entirety of American history proves you wrong.
Is it an infringement up on me to not sell my guns to whomever I want, or perhaps, to give them to slaves? They had laws against that too. Same people who passed the bill of rights, had those laws that they passed.
Don't you see how you've already retreated to the inner keep from your mott and bailey argument?
Keep and bear, mon ami. It was meant to protect the arms of the common soldier, such as firearms, swords, knives...because that's what the average militia solder would show up to drill with historically. Words have meanings in historical context especially.
But don't just listen to me, listen to Scalia: https://youtu.be/_j6lRdktscE?t=102
That man authored the Heller decision.
Treason, in the previously presented case.
Sedition, in this case, verging on race treason.
Yeah, because only some whites can be entrusted with the privilege of free commerce. That’s why only some whites were allowed to vote.
