Bill Would Regulate Most Semi-Auto Rifles Under NFA

Stupid little commie congress critter won’t even get his bill heard in committee. Nothing to see here.

True, but in 10 years time....

The link works, but there is no bill to read. It says:

“As of 08/09/2021 text has not been received for H.R.4953”

There are definitely some things I wouldn’t count on this court for at all, but 2A cases? We’ve got Thomas, Gorsuch, Alito, Barrett, and Kavanaugh. Roberts will sign on to their opinions if it enables him to moderate them (i.e. restrict the scope and impact). With Ginsburg no longer part of the court, I see an easy 5-4 and a more limited 6-3 in any 2A case.

Right, and Kavenaugh signaled that he would NOT be on-board with the CDC ruling that evictions were banned during Covid.

And yet, Biden ignored that and did it anyways.

“A couple to the face will cause any man to stop shooting for a bit.”

Modestly scoped Remington Nylon 66 with a fag of tube clips in the tactical bag. A medium range juggernaut.

Oh, they’ll never, ever stop trying.

Heres an upthrust digitus impudicus and a hearty GFY to speed these tyrant wannabes on their way.

Golf balls in the sand dunes at 100 yards. Big fun.

The NFA is unconstitutional.

..but there is no bill to read

Oh, understood, I believe they make it up as they go.

If the text you posted is accurate, it would put all of those who ignored state registrations and bans in the position of being forced to self incriminate themselves at the state level in order to comply with this federal law..

Not sure what the implications might be at the State level, but Haynes vs. US precludes felons registering firearms on the grounds of 5th Amendment protections.

Nothing is faster back on target than a semi auto .22 rifle.

Hell, the sights/scope never leave the target allowing for a very rapid rate of fire <1 sec.

You can shoot a man in the eye at 50 yards, then shoot the other eye before he hits the ground.

(and it still may not kill him)

It’s NOT my weapon of choice, but I can see the utility.

The other is the 9mm carbine with 14in barrel and detachable magazines you can share with your favorite pistol. Conceptually, it’s the perfect weapon for women and kids who can shoot and want to help out. Hell, I could see utility for myself with one of those.

Both highly under rated.

“Congress passed the National Firearms Act after the 1929 Valentine’s Day massacre to tightly regulate certain machine guns & shotguns,”

---

Thing is, machine guns and submachine guns were nowhere near as widespread when the NFA was passed as semi-auto rifles with detachable magazines are now.

Requiring 10s of millions of citizens to jump through the hoops to satisfy NFA requirements and pay the $200 (I’m surprised the bill doesn’t raise the tax) to keep what one has legally possessed for years would likely face massive non compliance.

“The political atmosphere in the
country or region at the time of the disarmament program will be a major factor as to
whether local and government participation and/or leadership will contribute positively or
negatively to the process. “

That is from a paper referenced by one of our fellow Freepers.

In America, dis-arming will not work, I will become a “criminal” and feel free to act as such, if my Governments become a threat. NFA registration is the same as dis-armament.
There will be a big business in REAL assault weapons at that point. Cartels will be glad to supply the market.

If I had them I would refuse to comply.

I’ll be just another of millions of instant criminals.

Hey look, another gun law to ignore!

“...and it still may not kill him.”

My, er, neighbor’s observed effect on dozens of white tails contradicts your belief.
