New NFA SCOTUS case

[Averageman]

The SCOTUS has become a political football.
They don't want to take a stand on anything controversial.

If we are to learn anything from the anti gunners it’s that it’s better to aim really high and compromise from there. If Diane Feinstien was on our side she would going after the Hughes Amendment and taking machine guns off the NFA.

No she'd be going after the Sporter Clause.

Last I remembered hearing a liberal talking about the NFA, it was to add semi-autos to it, on account of there being virtually no crimes committed with NFA registered firearms.

I think that, if we see the Dems move on the NFA, it would be to add semi-automatic firearms to it.

Best I can recall, the only registered machine guns used in crimes have been used by cops.

Liberals believe that what they see on TV shows and movies are reality. Therefore, automatic weapons are used in crimes with regularity.

Peon level probably true, upper echelon not so much. And anti-gun crap is unfortunately not just a characteristic of libs.

Automatic weapons ARE used in crimes, no better than the North Hollywood Bank Robbery as an example. The difference is REGISTERED automatic weapons are rarely used in crimes and have only been done so in a few instances since 1934.

But criminals regularly manufacture machine guns from semi autos of all kinds because they don't care if it's illegal, and if they are importing illegal narcotics, it's just as easy to import illegal weapons. I seem to remember one incident from the late 80s or early 90s where some crips n bloods types were actually able to order factory AK rifles from Russia brought in through the usual ports their drugs came in on.

I put the chances of them granting cert at about 20%. Kavanaugh could be the key here, as I think Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch would all grant it. No way Roberts does. If they do grant cert, the opinion will be incredibly nuanced with limited scope and could easily just be a plurality opinion, since there's no telling how Roberts would hold.
