Exactly. Like the 1st amendment, this is a national right. State and local governments have no right to infringe upon our rights. My rights as a US citizen should not vary because of the city, county, or state that I happen to visit or live in.
“My rights as a US citizen should not vary because of the city, county, or state that I happen to visit or live in.”
My grandfathers could have (but, regrettably, didn’t) walk into the local hardware store, plunk down some cash, and walk out with a full auto firearm (or 6) and ammo for same. No tax stamp, no background check, no permission of the Chief LEO in the area. My father could have (but, regrettably, didn’t) order a 20mm semi-auto anti-tank cannon via mail order. No tax stamp, no background check, no permission of the Chief LEO in the area. I cannot do the same, nor can my children. Our rights (and everyone else’s, as well) are being MASSIVELY violated because of the UNCONSTITUTIONAL National Firearms Act of 1934.
Further, in the 1939 case of “U.S. v. Miller,” the US government argued that the NFA was constitutional because it wasn’t a ban, it was only a tax...yet the 1986 FOPA put Title 18, Sectin 922(o) into the US Code, which PROHIBITS any ordinary citizen from paying the $200 tax to obtain a tax stamp to own a full auto manufactured after 5/19/1986. So the signing into law of Section 922(o) effectively rendered the entire NFA illegal - and we only need the Supreme Court to recognize that fact (likely only possible if RBG assumes room temperature and is replaced by an actual Constitutionalist Justice).
