Government Regulated Silencers, Now We’re Deaf! Time to Sue.

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. Maryland, which addressed firearm reciprocity across state lines. Several other major 2A cases were deferred to future conferences, extending the uncertainty for gun rights.

This video analyzes a significant legal development challenging the National Firearms Act (NFA). Plaintiffs are leveraging a recent Supreme Court ruling to argue that the NFA may no longer be constitutional, particularly after the tax on regulated items was reduced to $0. The core argument posits that the NFA, originally justified under Congress's taxing powers, cannot now be sustained solely as a regulatory scheme without that taxing foundation.

This episode of This Week in Guns delves into complex legal and regulatory issues surrounding firearms in the US and abroad.

This video critically examines the federal government's continued defense of the National Firearms Act (NFA) registry, particularly Attorney General Pam Bondi's stance.

The speaker argues the Second Amendment is a bulwark against tyranny, not a tool for bureaucratic control.

Mark W. Smith, a constitutional attorney and author, critically analyzes a recent DOJ brief concerning the National Firearms Act (NFA). He argues the brief contains significant legal flaws, particularly regarding the constitutional basis for NFA regulations like registration and fingerprinting for items such as suppressors and SBRs, especially after the elimination of the $200 tax. Smith also critiques the DOJ's application of the Bruen methodology and its reliance on adverse legal precedents.

This video analyzes a proposed $4,709 tax on suppressors and short-barreled rifles introduced by Senator Chris Murphy. The speaker argues this is a desperate move by gun control advocates, stemming from the realization that a zero tax makes the National Firearms Act (NFA) unenforceable and vulnerable to lawsuits. The increased tax is seen as an attempt to re-establish enforceability and price individuals out of their rights, rather than a genuine adjustment for inflation.
