CALIFORNIA CAUGHT! 700,000 Machine Guns Claim Exposed in Duncan v. Bonta Case… [Watch]
Sorry, Mr. Smith, what you, and evidently every prominent voice on “our side” continually miss is that if “in common use at the time” does not cover what is in common use by the infantry, then the Second Amendment is meaningless and all future technological developments will be denied to We the People under the false doctrine of it being “dangerous and unusual.”
And yes, machineguns ARE supposed to be protected, and the tax is a fraudulent infringement imposed by usurping rights swindlers.
It’s “every terrible implement of the soldier.”
I’m probably going to have to write (another) article to elaborate.
My understanding is that the “sporting purposes” language in GCA68 originated in a Nazi era firearms law that GCA68’s primary author brought back with him after his participation in the Nuremberg war crimes trials.
