Getting rid of the "sporting purposes" loophole in federal law would be a good start toward getting rid of all of federal infringements on the Second Amendment.

I’ll have to check and see if Saiga-12 prices are dropping yet. I suspect not, what with it being an election year and all.

Unfortunately, it’s going to be more difficult to attack Sporting Purpose than other things. Which is one reason the Heller Foundation and USBOR will be going after the 1934 NFA which, after McDonald is wholly unConstitutional. The law was created to be a prohibitive tax since bans were considered unConstitutional at the time (yes, they understood the Constitution back then and abided by it unlike our elected scum today) so they did the only end around they could by creating the prohibitive tax.

Since McDonald, the same rule that applies to a Poll Tax now applies to the 2nd Amendment. “You may not apply a fee or a tax to the exercise of a Civil Right”.

So, we intend on having the 1934 NFA struck down which will also take the 1986 Hughes Amendment down with it. Should SCOTUS find in favor of the NFA, then we reinstate poll taxes based upon the decision. We also have other points to bring up on the matter as well as other directions to attack the NFA from.

Now, if our elected leaders want to repeal the Hughes Amendment, we won’t spend the time and resources going after the NFA. I know that quite a few read this site so there is my offer. Repeal Hughes also known as 922 (o) and we’ll leave the NFA alone. Otherwise, we’re taking it all.

Once that is done, we go after 922(r), then Sporting Purpose, then we go after other sections of the 1968 GCA.

All the Government has to do to persuade us from doing this is repeal 922 (o). That’s it.
