Skip HillHOST
the fact
Scott McNallyHOST
that National Firearms Act.
Skip HillHOST
Oh, OK.
Skip HillHOST
So basically.
Steven MurrayHOST
Is it constitutional? No idea.
Steven MurrayHOST
But I'll tell you, even if the Supreme Court rules in CNN's favor, which they won't, because freedom of speech is different than freedom of access, then i would still i would ignore the spring court in fact i'm at the point now where i'm ignoring the spring court just like most of the country is starting to ignore the atf which i think is going to be interesting because the ruling on silencers came out over a month ago and the atf still hasn't released guidance on it tick tock tick tock The longer this goes without some kind of a rewrite of the regulations and some type of publishing of the rules, because remember, there was two parts of the National Firearms Act that were not adjoined to that decision.
Steven MurrayHOST
One was short barrel rifles, and I forget the other one, but they didn't adjoin that to the decision.
Steven MurrayHOST
So there are still rules for short barrel rifles.
Dan WolginGUEST
One place that we've seen that a lot and more and more recently is in advocacy groups like the NRA, California Rifle Pistol Association.
Dan WolginGUEST
We were talking before this, the recent decisions related to NFA, which had Gun Owners of America and Texas State Rifle Association among other plaintiffs involved.
Dan WolginGUEST
and you look at that and you think about what they're doing, or even the commercial plaintiffs involved, you think about what they're doing and is it going to benefit them? Yeah, it'll probably benefit them.
Dan WolginGUEST
Gun Owners Association or Gunners of America, they're going to get more members because of this, but they're also bringing that freedom to everybody, whether ultimately in the end, as it shakes out, we'll see, but likely whether you're a member or not, Similarly for those commercial plaintiffs, are they going to benefit? Yeah.
6 MINS LATER
Dan WolginGUEST
And they can't give you the gun until you're approved, right? So that's that process.
Dan WolginGUEST
It's called a 4473.
Dan WolginGUEST
Now, these items that previously fell under NFA and you had to get an ATF Form 4, now you get a 4473 instead, which is like all at the dealer.
Dan WolginGUEST
It can happen generally same day, provided there's no waiting period requirement within your state or whatever.
Clint MorganHOST
I don't like the idea of fear-mongering, but also I like the idea of being just alert.
Clint MorganHOST
And quite frankly, if we want to see the repeal of the National Firearms Act more pro Second Amendment, or just Second Amendment restoration, then we need to have our allies on that front in office.
Clint MorganHOST
And that's not going to happen if the more anti gun party takes over.
Mike GaryHOST
Totally right.
Mike GaryHOST
So even if you're voting maybe for a pro-gun Democrat and the Democrats do take power, then they're going to follow the whole party's agenda, which is blatantly anti-gun.
Clint MorganHOST
Yeah, exactly.
Clint MorganHOST
I mean, who was the one Democrat that stated, you know, if we can just alter the tax of the National Firearms Act, why not adjust it for inflation and make it almost $5,000 instead of $0 or the previous $200? That's what we're up against right now.
Mike GaryHOST
Yeah.
IvanHOST
Yes.
IvanHOST
So this is like an insider potentially within DOJ told CBS that back when you guys remember a week ago when this happened, that the The court had found that with the tax being $0 on the $0 NFA items, that that's not a valid tax, not a valid use of that power, and that they can't keep doing that.
IvanHOST
And then nobody was really sure exactly what that meant, and it was unclear if...
IvanHOST
DOJ was going to appeal that decision since that was at the circuit court level.
IvanHOST
Okay.
IvanHOST
Standard, regular journalistic integrity there.
Matthew LarosiereHOST
To be fair, though, that is the express purpose of the NFA.
Matthew LarosiereHOST
The problem is when you actually look at what those gangster weapons were, they were handguns.
Matthew LarosiereHOST
Mm-hmm
Ivan T. TrollHOST
... uh, that the, the, the, uh, the, the court had found that with the tax being $0 on the $0 NFA items, that that's not a valid tax, not a valid use of that power, and that they can't keep doing that.
Ivan T. TrollHOST
And then nobody was really sure exactly what that meant, and it was unclear if DOJ was going to appeal that decision-
Matthew LarosiereHOST
Mm-hmm
Matthew LarosiereHOST
Right.
Ivan T. TrollHOST
Standard, regular journalistic integrity there.
Matthew LarosiereHOST
To be fair though, that is w- the express purpose of the NFA.
Matthew LarosiereHOST
Uh, the problem is when you actually look at what those gangster weapons were, they were handguns.
MyronGUEST
And really one of the biggest things that's happening right now in the 2A industry is to do with suppressors.
MyronGUEST
Now, early on in January this year, they done away with the $200 tax stamp that they did for NFA items such as suppressors and SPRs and SPSs.
MyronGUEST
And now what's currently happening is essentially there's been a lawsuit and where they're saying that the registration for these suppressors are now unconstitutional because you're no longer collecting a tax for these suppressors.
MyronGUEST
And so right now, that's currently one of the biggest things that's happening in the 2A industry.
Mark SmithGUEST
Obviously, that's all turned out to be totally false.
Mark SmithGUEST
But in the 1930s, FDR wanted to take complete control over the entire country, every aspect of economic production, every aspect of labor work, and part of that included is the right to keep and burns, where they actually tried in the National Firearms Act.
Mark SmithGUEST
in the National Firearms Act with that big tax.
Mark SmithGUEST
They were trying to literally ban handguns, and that got pulled out of the NFA.
Mark SmithGUEST
But really, if you start in the 1930s, that was the beginning of the sort of modern firearms anti-gun movement.
David FettigGUEST
Yeah.
David FettigGUEST
Still an A&E book for the NFA items.
Clay PedersonHOST
In my honest opinion right now, if you want a suppressor right now, go buy it.
Clay PedersonHOST
Do the Form 4.
Sean HeronHOST
I'm just going to tell you about it.
Sean HeronHOST
So Trump ordered the Department of Justice not to appeal the silencer shop ruling blocking enforcement of the NFA stuff.
Sean HeronHOST
We have been talking about this for weeks, but Trump has now... ordered the DOJ not to appeal it.
Sean HeronHOST
So as far as that goes, this case will not be appealed.
