The Impending Demise Of The National Firearms Act Of 1934?

A federal judge just put a 92-year-old gun-control sacred cow on life support. In Jensen v. ATF, the National Firearms Act’s registration scheme for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns was declared unconstitutional for the people covered by the injunction — because Congress itself zeroed the tax that was the entire constitutional fig leaf. The same people who spent decades calling the NFA settled law and common sense are currently having the kind of public meltdown normally reserved for losing a Supreme Court seat or discovering their preferred candidate is a Nazi. Some of them are self-medicating with boxed wine. Good! This is the biggest single legal wound the NFA has taken since 1934. The early drafts of the Act wanted to register almost every handgun in America. They settled for the tax-and-registry racket instead. Now that racket is cracking. Second Amendment Radicals, this one’s for you. Read the whole damn thing.
