SBR Restrictions Upheld By Seventh Circuit

From The Truth About Guns:

This ruling is particularly relevant in light of the 2022 Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which established a historical tradition test for evaluating firearm laws. Under Bruen, firearm regulations must be justified by a historical analogue—meaning the government must prove that similar restrictions existed at the time of the Founding. While the Court acknowledged that firearms deemed dangerous and unusual may be regulated, it also reaffirmed that weapons in common use for lawful purposes are constitutionally protected.

Hearing Protection Act Re-introduced

From Guns.com:

Legislation to remove suppressors and silencers from National Firearms Act regulation and treat them as regular firearms has been filed in the new Congress.

The Hearing Protection Act would reclassify suppressors, currently NFA-controlled Title II firearms, as Title I, which would allow their transfer through regular federal firearms license holders to anyone not prohibited from possessing them after the buyer passes an FBI instant background check.

More Reasons To Kill NFA and GCA

From The Truth About Guns:

Really, the laws banning and heavily restricting machine guns are pointless and arbitrary when both citizens and cops can’t tell the difference between rapid semi-auto fire and machine gun fire. The lives lost to no-knock raids are likewise a bigger drain on society than any criminal justice gains. On top of all that, the NFA and the GCA don’t comply with the NYSRPA v. Bruen decision.

How To Destroy The NFA

From Ammoland:

The first step is well underway. It is to educate the gun culture and the general public about the history and failure of the National Firearms Act. When people learn the history and the effects of the act, support for it evaporates.

When people understand the NFA is the result of a political compromise that did nothing to stop crime; but results in thousands of Americans being punished for peaceful acts, support for the NFA drops to politically irrelevant numbers. Support for the NFA is fairly wide, but very shallow, propped up by the dominant Media and their creation and proliferation of false narratives.

Gun Banners’ New Tactic: Expand The NFA

From Bearing Arms:

As Democrats ramp up their demands for a ban on modern sporting rifles, progressive columnist and talk show host Thom Hartmann thinks he’s found a more practical way to make semi-automatic firearms off-limits to the average American; expanding the National Firearms Act to include all semi-autos and require owners to pay a $200 tax in order to possess a Glock pistol or an AR-15.

Detailed Breakdown Of ATF’s Brace Ruling

From Enbloc Press:

The new rule will change how the legality of brace-equipped firearms is decided. The change will go into effect as soon as 08F is entered into the federal register, and, once law, affected gun owners will have 120 days to register their newly reclassified brace-equipped weapons as short barreled rifles (SBRs) or to modify, surrender, or destroy their firearms (lol. lmao, even).

ATF Ruling Puts Millions of Gun Owners In Jeopardy

From The Reload:

The agency announced plans to publish the final version of their rule reclassifying pistol braces, a popular firearm accessory, on Friday. The rule, which President Joe Biden requested as part of his efforts to unilaterally reform gun laws, would effectively ban the use of braces unless registered with the ATF. Anyone who does not comply with the rule could be subject to upwards of ten years in federal prison despite the agency previously ruling the braces were legal multiple times over the past decade.
