Remove suppressors and SBRs from the NFA.
Great start on protecting the 2nd amendment. Now to protect the rest of the constitution from those who hate it.
I suppose state laws will need to be followed, such as 7 rounds max in NY & no hollow points in NJ?
Number 4- reinvigorate the CMP
From the article, says one can conceal carry:
“...in any state in accordance with the restrictions of that state. ...”
Now, to find out the CCW rules for CA, NY, etc.
Lots of folks go on vacation and may either have to go thru, or to, those states.
No national carry permit, unless it is for international reciprocity.
Better with a court ruling that the right to bear arms is indeed in the Second Amendment.
I believe that will come with a Trump Court. National Reciprocity is an intermediate step.
Disband ATF, and make licenses to carry covered by the full faith and credit clause.
Dean, what about silencers... any chance of us getting a little hearing protection finally?
A national carry permit could lead to a national uncarry permit. It should be up to the states to offer these permits. They just need to be accepted by the rest of the country, just like driver’s licenses
Reciprocity is fine, but does nothing for all the folks in may issue states (CA, others) who can’t get permits. Id rather see no permit required to exercise a constitutional right.
The Hearing Protection Act has already been introduced.
It will pass. It is very simple, elegant really. It is a superb intermediate step.
It removes silenders, gun mufflers, suppressors from the category of firearms in the National Firearms Act, and move them into the same category as long guns, rifles and shotguns.
It is a brilliant move.
Some think it will pass in the first 60 days. It could happen.
Repeal the NFA. Repeal the GCA. Repeal the Hughes Amendment.
Suppressor legalization is likely, if we lobby appropriately. Trump’s son had a long & favorable interview with the head of SilencerCo, and if that enthusiasm reaches the Donald AND enough legislators, we’ll see suppressors off the NFA list.
While we’re at it, my pet variant:
Overturn 922(o) modern machinegun ban.
If we can’t get that legislatively, then Trump could REALLY melt Leftist brains by issuing an Executive Order directing the BATFE to apply the 922(o)(2)(A) exemption, under his explicit authority, to all applicants (to wit: law-abiding citizens) and practically eviscerate the ban.
Even faster - can be done in one day - recognition of any state permit by the District of Columbia.
Only if it's as easy to get as my NH permit. By the time Congress writes national rules, no one will get one.
My recollection was the ATF imposed a ban on importing old military surplus rifles such as the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine. It would be good to remove.
That isn’t so clear in the article that says follow state laws. Bad! Need common recognition of rights and pre-emotion of any state and local laws.
Congress can do that immediately.
Yes!
Of course they're about out of M1 Garands and Carbines. The good news is that if they get rid of the NFA and Hughes amendment there will be millions of M16-A1s available.
