Mmm?
In english? What's the case? This isn't the shotgun case that reaffirmed the NFA in the 30's, is it? |
|
Negative. Guy making machine guns within the last 5 years or so. |
|
|
No, it's the homemade machine gun case.
What the hell does this mean? |
|
There's no link yet.
And I'm not sure what was vacated - the judgment of the 9th Circuit or the trial court's conviction of Stewart. |
|
Basically the USSC told the Ninth to "do over". |
|
|
Man, I thought do overs went out with second grade.
Taggariffic! |
|
Since there were no winners tonight... next weeks jackpot shall be an estimated... |
||
|
See the official order here, second from the top, first pageThe 9th's ruling on 922(o) is vacated, not his conviction.

|
Even though the ATF wasn't allowing new machine guns to be built, this means the ruling the 9th set about machine gun production is null and void? |
|
|
|
|
|
Is there an Engrish version? So are they hinting to 9th that the .fed can regulate MG's, try again? |
|
|
That is exactly what they are saying. |
|
|
What happened in that case? |
|
|
Spineless. |
||
|
It's the Eric Cartman school of federal government... YOU WILL RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH!!!!! |
|
|
That was the medical MJ case last week where the Supremes shit all over states rights. eta: e.g. the lack of interstate commerce does not supercede the right of the federal government to regulate (or outlaw) something. |
||
|
So basically they're saying "Fuck the states, the Fed can regulate machine guns no matter what, ESAD." |
|||
|
Ahhh...I see...Gonzales v. Raich was the medical marijuana ruling, which bought up the whole inter/intrastate commerce issue, especially pertaining to (in Gonzales v. Raich) crops to be grown and consumed but not sold for commerce...
Hmm... |
|
Fudge.
Rule in favor of Interstate Commerce Clause. RULE IN FAVOR OF FED.GOV |
|
Yep. Federal law trumps state law even when no interstate commerce is involved. |
|
|
Fuckin' USSC |
||
|
Exactly as I expected after the Raich ruling. The Feds can now legislate/regulate just about anything in your daily lives and to hell with what the states think.
Knew it was going to happen, but it still sucks. |
|
Then they will get reversed by the Supreme Court when the case is sent up again. |
|
|
Well, after all, it was said that the decline in States rights began in 1787 with the ratification of the US Constitution... It's been downhill from there. That ASSHAT Lincoln didn't help matters much either |
|
|
Can we all at least agree now that the War On Drugs is a "bad thing"?
|
|
This wouldnt be a problem if our founding fathers had forseen one problem we would have. Judges who legislate from the bench. I cant wait until the President, whoever it may be, tells the Supreme Court that their decision is crap and will not stand. It hasnt happend yet but it can, and will. |
||
|
Raich and McCain-Feingold basically said that the Federal government has unlimited powers, and state's rights no longer exist. The United States of the Founders is gone, and the US Constitution can be ignored at will.
|
|
The Chief Justice during the Civil War advised Lincoln that his actions violated the Constitution. Lincoln almost had him arrested. Andrew Jackson told the Suprme Court to go pound sand after a ruling in favor of Native Americans in a treaty dispute. Jackson basically told them, "It's your ruling, you enforce it." |
|||
|
It will be a slow transition to a centralized government like mexico instead of a federation. And we can see how well centralized government has done for them.
|
|
haha thats awesome. Ill have to read about those. |
||||
|
What about the 9th (or another defendant/court) using the US v. Rock Island/US v. Dalton approach of saying its unconstitutional since it doesnt generate revenune and the NFA has been held by the courts to be a tax statue (Sonzinsky v US)?

While that may be true - the original NFA was based on taxing taxable interstate commerce, and 922(o) is an extension of NFA law. Therefore if it isn't interstate commerce, NFA/922(o) should not apply. Sure the feds can legally pass a bill that bans MGs outright rather than creatively taxing them, and that law would trump state law, but they haven't done so - and I think they'd have a hard time doing so. |
||
|
yes, the republicans are our "friends" |
||||
|
btt. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.
|
|
we beat fascism elsewhere, but fascism came here instead and we are losing, badly. |
|
The feds can now regulate absolutely anything. Everything I own has the potential to enter "interstate commerce."
