Just like that? You’re sure? No pre-conditions or memberships needed? FFLs are all sure of what they need to do? Got all those questions for DOJ answered?
I’d hate to think people who had nothing to do with it and don’t know what they’re talking about are spreading bad legal advice.
And when are you going to do something about oath-breaking Republican power players like Ben Albritton?
Just like any other firearm?????? Are they able to fire a cartridge? If not, then they are not a firearm.
My copy of the Second Amendment does not mention “firearms” except perhaps by association under the term “arms.”
SCOTUS has used a founding era definition of arms as any weapon used in offense or any armor used in defense.
Quoting from District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008):
” Before addressing the verbs “keep” and “bear,” we interpret their object: “Arms.” The 18th-century meaning is no different from the meaning today. The 1773 edition of Samuel Johnson’s dictionary defined “arms” as “weapons of offence, or armour of defence.” 1 Dictionary of the English Language 107 (4th ed.) (hereinafter Johnson). Timothy Cunningham’s important 1771 legal dictionary defined “arms” as “any thing that a man wears for his defence, or takes into his hands, or useth in wrath to cast at or strike another.” 1 A New and Complete Law Dictionary (1771); see also N. Webster, American Dictionary of the English Language (1828) (reprinted 1989) (hereinafter Webster) (similar).”

But they also seem to be sliding towards bringing any accessory or accoutrement, such as magazines, clips, and suppressors, in under the umbrella of “arms” as well.
