Fed Judge rules machine guns protected by the Second Amendment.

The SCOTUS decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen has spawned numerous 2A cases. This justifies the creation of this new forum.

Fed Judge rules machine guns protected by the Second Amendment.

Dismisses case against defendant.

Is it just a matter of time before the NFA is completely overturned?

How big would it be for the suppressor industry if law abiding citizens were able to just walk into a store and purchase suppressors?

So this isn't quite as big a deal yet. Yes, its a good foothold but after reading the opinion- basically the state completely ignored the requirements of Bruen to supply historical examples. From bottom to top, the prosecutors and left leaning judges are trying to ignore Bruen. On this one, they basically didn't even try to follow that framework, and the judge slapped them down for it.

However, it is very well written in the fact that a full-auto ban has zero historical precedent. Federal government is allow to tax in order to raise revenue, but outright bans are not within their scope of taxing powers. Hughes amendment has been illegal since day 1, we just have to have the right case make it up to the top.

I’m pretty sure that suppressors are legal and over the counter in France and other parts of Europe.
