I personally go with FPC and occasionally go with GOA. Both are good and way better than the fucking NRA
Yeah fuck the NRA
They're the reason why we have gun laws that haven't gone away like the NFA and machine gun ban
Heard they promised they would fight the machine gun ban in court and egged Reagan to sign it
Which they never did
Shocker the NRA not doing something they said they would
Or their public statement supporting the bumpstock ban
@Fartfignewton What is your idea of a counter offensive
And how would we go about it?
Literally go after all NFA items
I'm not legally savvy
I kinda am
Keep in mind I’m self taught 😎
But as I understand it
In the 70s congress passed the federal agency act (I think that’s what it was called) allowing federal agencies to enforce agency policy as if it was law
Super non democratic
Total repeal of the NFA
Basically any administrative body in an agency (none of whom are democratically elected) can make up rules on a whim and enforce those rules as law with government backing
@Jedimind11[XB1] That explains how the ATF makes up shit and can enforce it even though no laws passed
Exactly
Or the FDA
Or how they can try and bring a guy to court for selling 80% lowers and charging people for classes on finishing them. Since he technically didn’t sell them a full firearm by the ATFs definition the ATF was gonna lose the court case
A judge (this was Cali) Warned them that they’d lose thus setting legal precedent
So they dropped the case
Which is SUPER corrupt and should not be a legal thing.
Getting advanced notice of a verdict and dropping a case
Fucking Cali
What a shithole
Preventing that legal precedent let’s the ATF avoid future cases where someone could do the same and be legally protected because a court precedent would overshadow their policies
I swear the courts and the ATF are buddy buddies with each other
Seen so many guns cases where the fucking court is biased with the ATF and rules in their favor
Since In a common law system (that’s our legal system) court decisions are interpreted as actual law or rather how we are supposed to interpret law
Give me 2 minutes to freshen up on the NFA history before I say some thing wrong
This is coming full circle don’t worry
Sounds good
Ok so as I understand it
The NFA was passed as a way of classifying and better taxing firearms
It wasn’t gun control
The NFA itself only prohibits 2 things. Silencers and automatic weapons. Which automatic weapons was in response to the Valentine’s Day massacre
And silencers I heard was due to poachers?
