Kansas Federal Court Decision About Machine Guns

Kansas Federal Court Decision About Machine Guns

 This is old news for some, but read.  This scenario could very possibly put some serious damage in the National Firearms Act of 1934, the one passed to keep all the "G-Men" employed after repeal of Prohibition.

Ooops.

We have the J. Edgar Hoover police state mentality with Franklin D. Roosevelt at the helm with his .gov is the 'savior' mentality.

The point here is the situation is much the same.  A Federal court has tossed it up the SCOTUS, but this time, the appellant has the money and is going to show.

"A federal judge in Kansas has tossed out a machine gun possession charge and questioned if bans on the weapons violate the Second Amendment.

"If upheld on appeal, the ruling by U.S. District Judge John W. Broomes in Wichita could have a sweeping impact on the regulation of machine guns, including homemade automatic weapons that many police and prosecutors blame for fueling gun violence."

Kansas judge throws out machine gun possession charge, cites Second Amendment

"An Arkansas federal district court charged Jack Miller and Frank Layton with violating the National Firearms Act  of 1934 ("NFA") when they transported a sawed-off double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun in interstate commerce. Miller and Layton argued that the NFA violated their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. The district court agreed and dismissed the case."
