Ok folks... Here's the first of the filed lawsuits coming from Stephen D. Stamboulieh (NoloContendere @ Ar15.com).

Public thread on ARFCOM: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1681489_Hollis_v__Holder___Lawsuit_over_922_o___NFA_and_various_other_items.html
Original thread I started here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3203012/posts?page=1
For the tl:dr crowd...
ATF stepped in it. These lawsuits that Stephen is filiing may blow 922 out of the water completely. This is a good thing.

You may get better response with a bit more information.
Some of the links at the site are restricted for the Cube bound reader.
Is this lawsuit simply trying to force the ATF to honor the actual language of 922(o) or do they think they have something that will cause 922 to be struck down in it's intirety?
Here’s hoping. 922(o) is in the dictionary next to “tyrrany”.
EAT MORE OVALTINE
If you are eating the Ovaltine, you are doing it wrong. lol.
Thanks.
Of course, ultimately this is about the federal government following the word of its own law. With the current admin, we can see how well that's working elsewhere. But this looks like a meritable case.
Anyone who can provide any additional information on this case, background info, etc., please chime in.
It is a sad day when you have to sue the government for not following the law it has laid down.
From a quick reading fo the complaint, it seeks to undo the 1986 ban on the manufacture of new machine guns.
One or the other. Either allow trusts to register post-86 NFA firearms as the language allows.
Or get strict construction to shut it all down under Heller and the 2A.
Subnote under “obsolete”...
No prob.
Apparently, this filing... And the ones that are to follow, is making a bit of a splash in the legal community.
This could literally be “one for the history books”.
It is a sad day when you have to sue the government for not following the law it has laid down.
It is a good day when you win and the government agency actually follows the law.
I have seen many, many cases where you win, and the government works the system to do absolutely as little as they possibly can, so as to avoid penalties.
Look at Chicago and McDonald, or the recent law passed in D.C., that says it follows the law by making it just barely possible to get a concealed carry permit if the chief thinks it is ok under extremely limited circumstances...
Filing point 26 will fail under _Raich_.
I eagerly await information substantiating Filing point 49.
Thanks for the formatting... :-)
I’m not so certain. The tax was paid and the stamp granted. This should satisfy any Raich rebuttal.
this case has ATF worried now. The NFA is in great jeopardy and it is likely to fall under several approaches this case will bring forward.
ATF messed up bad. Holder messed up bad. Standing has been established, the only way to save the NFA is to repeal the ban to remove standing.
Yeah, I’m giggling right now because if this case doesn’t win, the libtards are going to lose a lot of their wants as a result.
