The excutive branch has WAY too much power, and has had too much power for way too long.

He’s right. The Obama administration wanted to make these changes, so they asked congress to pass a new law clarifying the definition of a receiver. That was 2016.

It’d be nice if he’d charge president mashed potatoes with violation of USC 16 title 242: Deprivation of rights under color of law, instead of just a tweet...

The ATF is classifying 80% receivers as a firearm if it is “sold, distributed, or possessed with a compatible jig or template.”

So all of those 80% lower kits that include a jig are now firearms. Or will be 120 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register.

Anyone who is a prohibited person who possesses an uncompleted 80% receiver and a jig for that 80% receiver is considered to be in possession of a firearm.

I’m still trying to figure out how they can confirm a SCOTUS justice when no vacancy exists?

To: RandFan; All
All that Rep. Massie or any other patriot has to argue against unconstitutional federal firearm controls is this. The states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to regulate peacetime use of non-militia-related guns.

In fact, even in cases where domestic violence involves guns, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had limited federal involvement in such violence to formal request by state government.

"Article IV, Section 4 (4.4): The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [emphases added]."

Consider that Justice Joseph Story had explained the domestic violence part of 4.4 as a check against the feds dreaming up any excuse to interfere with a state's affairs.

”§ 1819. It may not be amiss further to observe, (in the language of another commentator,) that every pretext for intermeddling with the domestic concerns of any state, under colour of protecting it against domestic violence, is taken away by that part of the provision, which renders an application from the legislature, or executive authority of the state endangered necessary to be made to the general government, before its interference can be at all proper [emphasis added]. On the other hand, this article becomes an immense acquisition of strength, and additional force to the aid of any state government, in case of an internal rebellion, or insurrection against its authority. The southern states, being more peculiarly open to danger from this quarter, ought (he adds) to be particularly tenacious of a constitution, from which they may derive such assistance in the most critical periods.” —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, Article 4, Section 4.

Consider that the reason that federal peacetime gun control laws are now in the books is the following. Simply put, constitutionally limited federal government power-ignoring FDR and the likewise Constitution-ignoring Congress at the time established such laws in blatant defiance of the United States v. Butler excerpt above.

Franklin Roosevelt: The Father of Gun Control

Corrections, insights welcome.

Also, patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.

Again, insights welcome.

That was before the 2020 election was stolen by a CCP cyber attack putting an illegitimate rebellious force in power. The US government is currently a captured operation. We are at war right now its just not a shooting war. Its an information war.
