Or the gov't enters into a Consent Decree, or settlement agreement saying they agree with the ruling then it can apply universally. It doesn't have to be the court that does that.

Consent degree as a way of legislating seems like a cheat code.  It might work (worked for Rare Greed) for awhile but I question if it will weather scrutiny.  If it were that easy the executive could just consent to strike any sort of law they like, which violates the separation of powers.  I realize that in this case the law is actually unconstitutional but only one tiny district court decided that for this particular case.

The DOJ published an opinion today saying 18 USC 922(b)(1) and (c)(1) can't be enforced against FFLs. That's the law that makes it illegal for an FFL to transfer a firearm to an 18-20 year-old if it's not a non-NFA rifle or shotgun.

Since that's now not being enforced, that means an FFL can transfer any type of firearm to anyone over 18 (state firearms laws notwithstanding).  Who's going to be the first 18-20 year-old to get a silencer on a 4473?

That said, I think "won't criminally prosecute" vs. "may not be enforced" is a distinction without a difference.

From the actual opinion

“Instead, we conclude only that section 922(b)(1) and (c)(1) may not be
enforced to impose criminal penalties on dealers who sell handguns, the
“quintessential self-defense weapon,” Heller, 554 U.S. at 629, to a class
of law-abiding adults who in nearly every other domain are full members
of the political community.”

What they’re saying is if a dealer sells a handgun to someone under 21 years old in violation of the law, the DOJ will not criminally prosecute him. All other consequences, including administrative actions against his FFL are still on the table.

I did this 20 gauge today. the barrels aren't brazed together like my coach gun, so I ordered a barrel clamp for it. It should fit with the rib but I'm wondering if I should put something in between the barrels to keep it from squeezing them together.



The clamp should be in tomorrow.



Has anyone else done one of these? I'm open to suggestions for keeping the barrels secure.

Yes. Because they did not say they are not going to enforce the law. They said they will not criminally prosecute.

It's one thing to be forced by a court decision to not enforce a law and then try to weasel a way around it, but it'd an utterly retarded and unforced error to make a decision to not enforce the law and then use your own decision as an excuse to try to trip people up when they follow it.  Who do you think would gain anything from that happening?  The Trump DOJ obviously doesn't want it enforced, whether criminally or civilly.  If the ATF tried to enforce any civil penalties, they're under the DOJ and so would get told to knock that shit off by the Attorney General.  The Bradys and the demanding moms would like it, but do you really think this is some 4-dimensional chess move by the Trump DOJ to curry a small amount of favor with antigunners by fucking with some FFLs, while also royally pissing off Trump's base?  Because that's the only reasoning I could come up with.  Do you have something better?

If I'm flaunting my ignorance here, surely someone will let me know.
How are the limitations of this ruling not a violation of the equal protection clause?

There are a couple more options.

3. Like the Thompson/Center case, DoJ/ATF ends up issuing an order recognizing and implementing the court decision, applying it equally across the board. (I think this is the most likely outcome)

4. One or more large-membership groups file an equal protection suit demanding that civil rights be available in a non-discriminatory fashion.

IIRC, about 3% were patriots when the USA was born.
I love a good double entendre.

Except they can, if the gov't agrees the court is correct and enters into an agreement with the plaintiffs. How do you think we got FRTs?

The Trump DOJ wouldn’t.

What happens in 2028 if a Democrat wins?  “Hey, we changed our minds. That provision was never enjoined or repealed, and we’re going after every FFL that transferred a handgun to someone under 21.”

Until those provisions are enjoined by a judge or repealed, the DOJ memo means precisely… dick.

@CZRider

I was on their website and it states all silencers require a tax stamp.  I was going to make the drive until I saw this.

Are you saying they'll do a 4473 only?
