Tyrants, liberals, and pussies believe in a limited version of our RKBA, real Americans know better.

MG's and suppressors are common, there are tens of thousands in legal circulation.
MG's are now a fixed number commodity per the 922.(o) amendment of 1986.
Suppressors are in production and readily available, not even particularly expensive.
None of these are "Unusual", any person claiming they are committed perjury.
And yes, no matter what SCOTUS may pretend, we do have a right to them.
Our RKBA is not about duck hunting.

Grenades are DD's, and rare due to the NFA tax and their one-time nature, in addition to the near impossibility of finding a legal seller.
But they ARE legal to make, sell, or buy, so long as the lawful process is followed.

Directional (or other type) mines would also be DD's, also still legal to manufacture and own or sell with the proper licensing.

My own view is that the entire "License" scam is unconstitutional, but then I actually have an idea what "Infringed" means.

What should really get our blood boiling, is not the fact that the courts are willing to say these things, but that they no longer feel the need to use the pretense of taxation, and are now willing to usurp the right openly and directly.

My question is this: if there is one group of people polititicans would choose to push around, what amount of hubris or stupidity does it take to choose the group with machineguns and silencers?

Not that it matters much; the 9th is the most overturned circuit in the country.

The 9th circuit is really a circus. The good part is, the 9th circuit dosent have ANY bearing on the other districts.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

The Ninth is my favorite.



By taking moonbat positions that often conflict with other Districts, they force USSC to hear cases many of which are then favorably decided and then have 50 state applicability.



I wish the Ninth had said not right to any guns of any kind in that opinion!



 

If silencers and machine guns are "unusual" why to they keep popping up in Hollywood movies?

Didn't the 9th rule in favor of a convicted felon who made his own STEn MGs?  They do have some odd rulings.

Look at the typical movie MG context, drug dealers and thugs using MG's against the poor out-gunned cops.

They pop up to shore up weak writing, and to reinforce the MG = BAD liberal stereotype.

Suppressors are basically unregulated in much of Europe, but heavily regulated here, you can thank Hollywood for that!

Back in the real world, guess who is exempt from the no new MG's ban, and does not have to pay the $200 NFA tax?
COPS! The cop shop can buy anything they want, but usually can get ex-Gov. MG's for FREE.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

SCOTUS sent the case back for them to "Reconsider", and they wussed out.
So they ended up reinforcing the insane notion that EVERYTHING we do, buy, grow, or make, may be regulated under the Interstate Commerce Clause.

I thought cops were not exempt but AGENCIES were??

The " Cop " dosen't own the gun. It's on a form5 and can legally be issued to the officer for official duties. Possession of the item is perfectly legal weather it's an M16, or a helicopter mounted minigun. ( yes I'm exaggerating, nobody keeps a helicopter in their garage )
