Whenever you've got 32 minutes to watch a video. Pretty well done by T.REX Arms. How did suppressors become part of the NFA, how did the NFA come to be, and some correlation to political/media manipulation to pass laws.
This is why I've repeatedly told people for years to read US v. Miller. It's actually a great ruling for us. It holds that military weapons are specifically what the 2A protects.The Supreme Court ruled it didn't infringe because short barrel shotguns were not military weapons. Wait What? According to the poo spewers on the TVs no civilian needs a "Military Style" weapon.

In Miller, the lower court erred badly on the facts but the SC couldn't fix that because of the unique (I think) defense presented. And, yes, I'm going to leave it at that because I want people to actually read the ruling and what's behind it.
In fact, I believe I could argue that, with the right case, the rationale the court used to decide Miller could be used to overturn almost the entirety of the NFA, the Hughes Amendment, and any assault weapons ban. The ruling is short and well worth a read.
You're welcome. The case is pretty fascinating, as well as some of the shenanigans that will inevitably be noted in even a cursory analysis of it.Wow, that case is a great read, thanks for posting it
No.I would have to turn in my 10/22 and exchange it for a M14?
In addressing how previous cases did or did not agree with this position, the opinion went on to sayThe Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
They specifically addressed Miller thusly:None of the Court’s precedents forecloses the Court’s interpretation.
Note the false equivalency established by the court. They said that arms "used by the militia" were the equivalent to arms "in common use".(Miller) does not limit the right to keep and bear arms to militia purposes, but rather limits the type of weapon to which the right applies to those used by the militia, i.e., those in common use for lawful purposes.
No, you would just have to put a suppressor on itI would have to turn in my 10/22...
