AG Paxton is being smart about the lawsuit.

It attacks from several aspects, but one is that making your own silencer is not covered by the commerce clause.

It would be extremely important, if this were upheld, but, technically, it does not cover the commercial sale of silencers.

Heller makes mention of the ability of the federal government to regulate commercial sales.

Paxton is in this to win...

It is a tough fight, but he has a real chance of prevailing, it seems to me.

One of the chief threats against it is the claim the State of Texas has no standing to sue.

AND just as or more importantly, it’s a start on kicking the legs out from under that most evil of all rulings, Wickard. Actually, even without Bruen, this is bogus because Wickard is bogus, but anything that moves the ball is good. Libs have been doing it for over a century.
