Notes from the Resistance
The NFA’s Regulation of Suppressors and Short-Barreled Rifles Violates the Second Amendment [More]
The sick joke is everybody knows that.
Once more I see arguments are long on “common use” and short on “militia,” but I guess we need a point of entry to get this into the interminable appeals cycle and hold it there long enough for Republicans to blow it and communist Democrats to regain power…
Perhaps the strategy is for B0ndi to take a dive…?

Not bearable arms…? Who are these treasonous ignoramuses on the three judge panel??

ATF Says ALL Braced Pistols Are SBRs, In Violation Of The Law [Watch]
That’s one more bit of housekeeping. I wonder if whoever wrote the response is close to retirement and just doesn’t care.
Chan fails, however, to show that either a short-barreled rifle or a machinegun is an “arm” within the plain text of the Second Amendment. [More]
Let me guess: He let Google Gemini write his opinion.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and certain other weapons from the definition of firearms for purposes of the National Firearms Act, and for other purposes… Prognosis5% chance of being enacted according to Skopos Labs (details) [More]
Less than that if the Republicans don’t take over the Senate and the White House next time out.
But it makes them look like they’re doing something.
This technical change pushes “others” within the definition of “assault weapon” under Connecticut’s ban… While residents of other states are able to register these firearms with the ATF, or change the short barrels for longer ones to make them legal, the ATF has stated that it will not permit any such registrations from Connecticut residents due to Connecticut’s “assault weapon” ban. Nor will changing out the barrels avoid redesignation as banned “assault weapons” under Connecticut law. [More]
Damned if they did, damned if they didn’t.
This bill removes short-barreled rifles (barrels of less than 16 inches in length) from the definition of firearms for purposes of the National Firearms Act. [More]
Here’s a truth about every single “pro-gun” bill we see coming out of the House that we then see so many gun owners getting excited about: Without a Senate Republican majority and either a Republican president or enough votes to override a veto, they’ll all go nowhere.
And even so, that makes some big assumptions.
We can appreciate the sentiment, but I’d appreciate it more if they’d acted like this whenever they’ve been in a position to make it so.
