William Kirk of Washington Gun Law critically analyzes the Department of Justice's (DOJ) legal arguments against Second Amendment principles concerning the National Firearms Act (NFA). The DOJ's stance, as presented in the *Silencer Shop Foundation, et. al v. ATF* case, challenges congressional intent for $0 taxation on NFA items to mean no registration. Kirk highlights the DOJ's reliance on the Commerce Clause and historical legal precedents like *Miller* and *Heller* to defend NFA regulations, arguing these items are 'quintessentially economic' and 'particularly susceptible to criminal misuse'. This interpretation is seen as a significant setback for gun rights advocates.
