Im totally confused. If its not bearable and of itself not a weapon, why does it need to be registered at all. Its kind of a circular argument.
No, you have merged two concepts that the appeals court did not.
I am not for this, I'm just explaining it. The appeals court did not find that a silencer on its own is a "bearable" arm and therefore is not protected by the Second Amendment.
However, just because it is not a "bearable" arm, does not mean it is not a firearm. The 1934 NFA defines silencers as "firearms" for the purposes of taxation (and subsequent regulation.)
Similarly, a Lightning Link drop in auto sear is not a machine gun, but it is defined as a machine gun for purposes of the NFA.
SC is corrupt.
Outrageous.
Silencers (legal term, folks) are sure as hell not Alcohol, Tobacco or Explosives.
What agency regulates them?
What is interstate about a produce made and consumed all within one US state?
Outrage!
KS, MO, OK, TX, LA, MS: secede.
