It could, if you throw us a bone or two.

Believing he was following the law, Jeremy posted a video about his new suppressor on Facebook, and ATF swooped in. Rather than simply requiring Jeremy to register his suppressor, the feds instead chose felony prosecution — to make an example of Jeremy, and to intimidate all who resist federal power over guns. Jeremy was indicted, and convicted of possessing an unregistered silencer, and now this veteran is a federal felon.


Yeah. We should totally trust the government.

Support, but I'll believe it when I see it. People watch too many movies to think suppressors are useful for anything more than assassinating people.

47 of you love the NFA. Why?

To be fair, it was a Kansas law saying if a suppressor is built and owned by an individual in Kansas, then it is legal.

The NFA is enforced from the "interstate commerce" clause. Kansas was basically saying if the suppressor never leaves the state then the NFA doesn't apply.

Absolutely, it is just like Obamacare, policy masquerading as a tax. Except the NFA is worse, it's a tax to access a constitutional right.

If they wanted to ban submachine guns back in the 30's, as well as the amendment in 1986, they should have done it the right way and called it what it is, a ban.

I love how the 1986 ban was called the "Firearm Owners' Protection Act"... just comical.

It was in Kansas, I believe, and they have a similarly worded law. He bough a Kansas made supressor in Kansas. It never left Kansas, the feds found out and boom, off to jail he went, even though there is a law in Kansas that says that the NFA does not apply.

Finally, Jeremy’s petition argues that, if the Supreme Court continues to uphold the NFA as a “tax,” then it is allowing Congress to impose a tax on a constitutionally-protected right — something which the Supreme Court has long said to be unconstitutional.

I assume the "suppressor" to which they refer is actually a sound suppressor, aka silencer, and not a flash suppressor.

Does this apply to Trump wanting to "tax" protesters?
