Hearing Protection Act

[DireWolf]

What needs to happen is that the NFA/GCA/etc. need to be repealed in their entirety (not just unconstitutional, but unlike most of the bogus Nazi claims being thrown around in the media lately, my understanding is that the NFA can be directly tied to Nazi-era Germany's gun laws), and at the same time, a replacement law enacted to explicitly prohibit any other Federal OR State level restrictions (for law abiding citizens with no violent/DV related felonies) on any firearms, destructive devices, or related items which are in common use by any Military branch. A side benefit of this would likely reinvigorate small-arms development in the private sector beyond just basic and/or cosmetic enhancements to existing platforms.

This would also be fully consistent amd defensible with regard to both the letter and intent of the Constitution/BoR, from multiple points and perspectives, and could completely nullify any State-level bullshit. Fuck them and their utterly unconstitutional "dangerous/deadly weapon" bullshit....


Also, I get that some folks have made a significant investment in Pre-86' items no longer available (and thus vastily and artificially inflated in value due to laws of supply and demand), and I'm sure this only applies to a small subset of those individuals, but holy shit, they need to be willing to take one for the fucking team and stop lobbying to keep those laws in place just to keep the prices/value high for those items. I mean, file an insurance/loss claim, write it off for tax purposes (not 100% sure if thats possible), but damn, there's only one "right" side on this issue, the alterative is utterly hypocritical and the antithesis of adherence to constitutional & American principles....

ETA: Just to qualify that last statement, I think folks from all walks can agree that there's a metric shit-ton of BS laws on the books at all levels (I'll refrain from quoting "Dr. Ferris"), but if someone has no affinity towards, or respect for the bedrock laws and charter of our nation, which incidentally define the entirety of the foundational structure of our government and upon which all other laws are based (and thus provides them with legitimacy - both laws and the legislators themselves), then those individuals can either get themselves right in the head, or can GTFO and go somewhere more in line with their world view...
