BREAKING NEWS: FEDERAL JUDGES SCREW UP MAJORLY (AGAIN...)

The Supreme Court denied review in US v. Peterson, a case challenging the National Firearms Act (NFA) as applied to suppressors. The Fifth Circuit's ruling, which upheld the NFA by likening it to a 'shall issue' licensing scheme, now stands as precedent in that circuit. This decision has significant implications for future Second Amendment challenges to firearms regulations, potentially allowing broader government control over protected arms under the guise of objective licensing.

The US v. Peterson case challenges the NFA's suppressor restrictions, arguing it violates the Second Amendment. The Fifth Circuit upheld the NFA by likening it to a 'shall issue' licensing regime, a reasoning now being contested. The Supreme Court is considering the case, with amicus briefs filed urging review, and the DOJ has waived its right to respond, creating procedural uncertainty.

The Supreme Court denied review for two significant Second Amendment cases: Peterson v. United States, concerning the NFA's taxation and registration of suppressors, and Gardner v.

A new notice of proposed rulemaking is expected, suggesting a strategic retreat by the government to avoid a definitive court loss and to re-attempt regulation with a revised approach.
