    Federal Court in N. Texas strikes down the NFA based on $0 tax

    A Federal Court in N. Texas has struck down the NFA regarding suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and items that had their tax reduced to 0 dollars, under the BBBA, Big beautiful bill Act.
    The ruling covers the plaintiffs, their customers, members current and future. SAF, GOA and FPC if I read this right, all mbrs present and future. It has been paused for 7 days to allow the Feds to decide whether to appeal. The ruling was based upon the Constitution's Taxation clause, not on the 2A, but that makes it strategically a huge win. A zero dollar tax is no longer a tax, and therefore all of its regs about collecting pix, fingerprints and fed approvals are all unconstitutional. He also explained that the govt cannot backtrack and try to say that o well, the commerce clause still covers it... so there are no legs left for it to stand on. It is a summary judgment, the law is unconstitutional on its face (a facial ruling).
    It's a big win.

    One thing I’ve never changed my opinion on since the 1970s, is the NFA. Congress has no right or legal authority to task an unnamed Federal agency that’s part of a branch of govt that has no mention in the Constitution (DOJ), to violate the Bill of Rights.

    Older people tried to explain it to me, which amounted to, “Because the Feds say so.” None of them actually had read the NFA Hearings and seen how fundamentally-illegal the premises and conclusions were during those hearings, namely working around the 2A with a stamp tax, and then bragging about making the tax so preposterously-high, that nobody but the ultra-wealthy could afford it, and thereby achieving their actual desire of a total ban against certain classes of arms.

    There is no logical legal argument for the NFA that is even remotely harmonious with the Bill of Rights. This is a great move.

      We need a class action to reimburse all SBR, Suppressor, SBS, dealer fees, photos, wait times/denial=delay of rights, etc., in current dollars adjusted for inflation.

      We need to assign some monetary value to the delay of exercising rights.
