survivalshop Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Read this & also these two quotes are interesting . https://www.news4jax.com/news/politics/supreme-court-rejects-challenges-to-silencer-laws " An appeals court had held that a silencer is not a "bearable" arm protected by the Constitution. " ( Bump Stocks would also fall under this ) " The Trump administration had also urged the court not to take up the issue." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Now they get to decide which parts are “bearable”? Triggers and magazines aren’t really bearable either...kinda important to the “bearable” part, but obviously we weren’t meant to have functional arms to bear...just symbolic ones to hold up so they can see when we’re unhappy. What’s extremely unbearable is the bullshiit they continuously drop on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonSays Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 This is what I posted in the comment section: The article left out one important piece of information. Kansas passed a state law that modified the part of the NFA (National Firearms Act) that regulates suppressors. Kanas law did not require the registration of nor a registration fee be paid for its citizens to make, possess or sell suppressor in that state. These 2 men believed state law would protect them from Federal prosecution, just as Oregonians believe state law will protect them from Federal marijuana law violations. They were wrong. Now, 2 men, who believed they were following the law, have had their lives ruined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as they "sold," they got themselves into the position of an FFL CLass 3 SOT. Which they probably weren't. Despite state law, they got on the wrong side of the BATFE as soon as they did that.

jtallen83 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 I find it ironic that there was a mass shooting with a suppressor involved right before this decision is handed down. And still very little in the way of details on the shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magwa Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 More hocus pocus, BS it is just common sense to see the roll of a suppressor hearing protection I wish every gun in this country was sold with one and it was taught in school to protect your hearing and all the available ways to do so this country is so backwards in so many ways and then it thinks it is so progressive in others.... european country's sell suppressors with the sale of guns why is this even arguable?

They decided to reject the case so, stare decisis, the lower court decision becomes precedent, just not as strong, not a roe v. wade type strength yet. https://bearingarms.com/tom-k/2019/06/11/scotus-rejects-kansas-suppressor-case/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like pulling teeth to get updates. Nor do we know if the Suppressor truly was used . I found that quote about not a" Bearable Arm" to be a bit troubling , but until SCOTUS really gets to a decision on " Shall not be Infringed " we will get lower courts making dumb a$$ statements .

mrmackc Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 The general public don't give a rat's arse about the noise damage to us shooters or our audiences we get shooting guns, they don't want Johnny Crimeboy shooting them and nobody hearing the BANG! They say "Stop shooting those damn noisey old high powered guns, and you will be okay." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Funny how it is ok for a state to ignore federal law when it comes to drugs but not when it comes to a safety device that could possibly save a kids hearing. Must be trying to keep us redneck hillbillies deaf and stoned some reason.?.?. More people than ever are educated in the fact that suppressors do not get as quiet as Hollywood quiet. Problem is that still isn't very many people. It's a lost battle once the propaganda machine becomes engaged in the subject. Question to evaluate is do they take suppressors, grandfather in existing and stop new production, or outlaw and do a buy back? oh yeah and I forgot, there is always the "bump stock method" just regulate the meaning and make them a felony.

I keep saying it, and it keeps being ignored - they cannot do that without Congressional action, as it's already been determined, and there is law on it that's almost 100 years old.

98Z5V Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Here's a very good opinion article on exactly what I'm saying: https://gatdaily.com/trump-on-silencer-ban-im-going-to-seriously-look-at-it/?trk_msg=HG0BQJ1153QKN4QPUIQ0467BL4&trk_contact=8V0L65B89JG3CKL2PPP2IG35AC&trk_module=new&trk_sid=INI07QT7C8M3L2D7BB03ML3KQG Here's the opening comments from that article, and it only gets better the further you go... Quote The legal footwork that allowed the bumpstock ban used the NFA to classify them as “new” machine guns. Silencers do not inhabit that same part of the National Firearms Act and aren’t subject to the same reclassification. Banning the devices would be an act passed through Congress. Such an act would certainly pass the House and could likely be passed in the Senate with President’s support. But will it get that far?

What if, what if... you can What If this all you want... They can't. And they won't. They aren't there to MAKE laws, they are there to interpret them. And Constitutional Law is their primary focus. The only determination they could make would be to abolish the NFA 1934, GCA 1968, and FOPA 1986, based on them being unconstitutional. They cannot add to any of those acts. In any way. They cannot take away anyone's ability to own a suppressor, or modify the process (law) required to own a suppressor. Or SBR, SBS, AOW, Title II...

survivalshop Posted June 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's not if , because they can determine anything law makers can come up with as unconstitutional & that will make it null & void . They do something like it every year . It is wishful thinking that they do so , but they have the power & final say , it's their job . They are not adding anything , to anything or making/changing a law , just making a judgement call on its constitutionality . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
