The only theory supporting the federal authority over the transfer of firearms, including silencers, is that the Constitution’s interstate commerce clause justifies it. In that case, if a firearm or silencer was made in a state, and stays in the state, then the federal government has no jurisdiction.

Why didn’t Republicans pull the trigger when they controlled all branches of government during the 114th Congress?

Ah.

Townhall.com accidentally stumbles over a relevant question.

Don't expect anything to come of it, however.

Because they almost universally despised President Trump. That’s why.

True, as far as it goes.

What happened 1995-2007?

The universal Republican resistance to Trump was the capstone of their treachery, but they had a long history of failure before 2017.

# What explains this push, and why now? Why didn’t Republicans pull the trigger when they controlled all branches of government during the 114th Congress?

Because only a very few ‘republican’ representatives actually give a damn about the Constitution.

Exactly. They were willing to cut off their own base to spite President Trump. They succeeded in doing so. Much of the failure can be laid at the feet of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.

I often wonder if the Chinese had something on him, or if he was paid off.

Maybe our traitorous intelligence agencies got to him. His actions made no sense, other than a defense of the Deep State against President Trump.

“Exactly. They were willing to cut off their own base to spite President Trump.”

The Republican Party has been doing this to gun owners for decades. There hasn’t been a single Federal gun law, regulation, or rule that’s been repealed by any Republican President in my life time.

Not one. The AWB “expired” so that doesn’t count.

Some of the worst parts of GCA 1968 were repealed, such as the requirement to give ID for “pistol” ammunition sales.
