This is the full article because it was first published four years ago.

The information is highly relevant with the Biden Administration shenanigans with the ATF at present.

A correction, some documents and this article refer to the 1938 law as the National Firarms Act of 1938. That is incorrect.

It is the Federal Firearms act of 1938.

Geez, it’s almost like the Miller case was misinterpreted from the beginning.

Amendment XXI repealed Amendment XVIII.

The 1934 NFA was passed after Amendment XVIII (which might have allowed it to be constitutional) was repealed.

There is an “Untouchables” episode about machine guns which concludes that only a small number were eventually left in the hands of organized crime.

The entire ediface of the Federal appelate Courts claiming the Second Amendment is not an individual right, is built on willful misreading of the Miller case.

Pure deliberate, willful, Bill of Rights destroying misreading.

Remember, Progressives have always hated the Constitution. It is in their DNA.

The courts were dominated by "Progressive" ideology judges for at least 70 years, from 1940 to 2008.

The Taliban never lacked for guns.

Thirty thousand Taliban sent the US military packing.

Whenever I first became aware of the Miller case and read a summary of it I thought “What a load of crap!”. But, I surely don’t have the money or time to take them to court. Hard to do when “they” have an unlimited amount of tax money to spend defending their lies.

If a frontier family didn’t have the ability to fight off Indians with guns, they would not have survived an Indian attack.

Well supplied by the Chinese, Iranians, and Pakistanis

Thirty thousand Taliban sent the US military packing.

Yes. Because the American people would not sanction the destruction of Taliban supporting villages.

The Biden Administration has indicated it is willing to nuke American cites to stay in power...

I would not worry about the outcome, if I thought the Average American were as tough as the Average Afghan.

I don't think Biden and his supporters have the cajones to use nukes. But they are sure trying to purge the military of anyone who might oppose them.

“We the people of the United States....the right of the people to keep and bear arms...”

The right to vote and “to keep and bear” are fundamentally related.

The Hessians riled up the people of New Jersey.

Let us hope the FBI is “riling up” the American people.

“I don’t think Biden and his supporters have the cajones to use nukes.”...

I don’t think they’ll use nukes either but I am confident they will allow circumstances to develope that will make it easier for them or successors a term or 2 after them to begin a type of literal genocide against people they perceive are their enemies.

Yes, I think you have a grasp of the plan, or, at least, its shadowy image.

More likely Obiden will do a quid quo pro with China. They invade Taiwan, we lob a few and get rid of their Uighur ‘problem’ and they take out a few of our ‘untouchable’ targets.

Judicial efforts to undermine constitutionally protected freedoms should be a crime punished by death. The difference between treason and constitutional subterfuge is semantics only. The problem is that there is no downside for this type of behavior. The percentage of public servants in prison needs to go way up.
