So what happens now? Is this ruling only for this person or for the district that court is in?

Eventually...

Interesting. Have to see how it plays out. We would all like to see this allowed in the Supreme Court.

Too many big players have their panties invested in keeping auto weapons from the masses.

I've heard of having money invested, and of one having their panties in a twist, but this is a new one!

Should I fire up my 3d printer now?

Only if you don't have a lathe...

Only if you don't have a lathe...

I do not... yet.
One of those tools, probably like my 3d printer, would love to have and then not use.

This gives me much hope in life.

Seems crazy like the court never heard of the NFA????

Text, history, tradition. NYSRPA v Bruen (2022) gave us this standard. NFA of 1934 certainly came along after 1791 and 1868.

US v Miller (1939) upheld the NFA of 34, but Miller was dead when it came up in front of SCOTUS and it seems like since the defendant had assumed room temperature his lawyers really phoned it in. Having a couple WW I Vets testify as to what weapons would useful to the militia (the militia is "the whole of the people" according to 2A co-author George Mason) and you better believe SBRs and SBSs would top the list.

The NFA of 34 was passed shortly after Bonnie and Clyde met their demise on a dirt road in Louisiana. IIRC there were two SBSs and three BARs in the car. I really don't think a tax stamp would've affected Bonnie and Clyde, considering how they acquired their weapons.

Time to go for the end zone on this one.

Dont let pesky facts get in the way.

I've been waiting for this ball to get rolling since 1986. It's about damned time. And we aren't ever going to have a more friendly supreme court than we have right now. So ... Fingers crossed!

I realize this is a long process, it may never get to the Supreme Court. But it would be neat if they over turned the 34 restrictions during biden/kamala tenure.

Like really sticking it to who ever is running their show.

Most likely it’s a plan to make restrictions even more concrete through legislation, the timing is not a coincidence
