Trump/Bondi DOJ Opposes Silencer Shop’s Suit

Public Shooting Range
1

As reported by GOA:

DOJ’s brief:

Quote from GOA:

“Late last night, the Department of Justice filed an outrageous brief that embraces an alarmingly expansive theory of federal authority. In responding to GOA and GOF’s “One, Big, Beautiful Lawsuit,” the DOJ treats Congress’ removal of the historic $200 tax as a pretext to rewrite the limits of congressional power, advancing an argument that would open the door to federal regulation far beyond anything the Framers intended.

GOA and GOF condemn Attorney General Pam Bondi and President Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) for doubling down on enforcement of an archaic and unconstitutional law while simultaneously offering legal theories that would expand federal power to historic levels. This is especially striking from an administration that had promised to respect the Second Amendment and review burdensome agency rules.

The implications of DOJ’s stance are immediate and ominous. If the brief’s logic is accepted, courts could bless a framework under which Congress and federal agencies regulate—or effectively ban—common firearms and accessories by treating formalistic features (like a $0 tax) as sufficient legal cover. That outcome would run contrary to recent Supreme Court statements that the Second Amendment protects private arms possession….”

I was alarmed by the Administration’s legal constructs justifying what many have called an expansion of the federal executive branch’s power, especially as it’s argued in DOJ’s brief above. It sets a bad precedent, and as the saying goes, “The pendulum swings both ways.” One can argue this Administration is not as anti-2A as others have been, although that is up for debate. But sooner or later a successor administration that is truly anti-2A may be able to use the same argument to severely restrict our 2A rights despite any pushback by Congress.

But what is really disappointing is DOJ’s use of that argument in a case like this. Why this case? And why push away so many of the administration’s political base on this after Congress recently repealed the tax to the joy of that same political base? Of course, Congress was too cowardly to outright repeal the whole registry requirement altogether despite holding a majority. And of course, the Hearing Protection Act and National Reciprocity Act will go nowhere - yet again. But that’s a whole other issue.

Ohh, someone who didn’t get the memo, no criticizing Trump or Israel.

Not sure if you even get a first time warning either, might want to check your driveway for company.

What you’ve done there Mr. Wordsworth was independent thought, the State has no use for that, its obsolete.

What’s not obsolete?

10 on the amp!

I don’t see these arguments winning at SCOTUS, that regulations on customers are necessary to ensure vendor compliance with a tax (vendors are still taxed, even though the customer’s tax will be $0).

Mark Smith thinks the DOJ is “pulling a Windsor,” doing the minimum to keep a case live until they can get a 2A-favorable ruling. Because if they say they won’t enforce the NFA, then there is no longer an actual case or controversy, and the courts aren’t allowed to rule on it by Article III of the Constitution. The strategy is to keep the case barely alive until we get a precedent striking the law down permanently from SCOTUS.

The Obama admin did this in US v. Windsor, for gay marriage. Up until SCOTUS, they said they would enforce the gay marriage ban, but then switched sides at SCOTUS and got the court to kill the ban.

That is why the DOJ’s arguments are so weak. Mark Smith says it’s enough to legally pass the “smell test,” but the arguments presented are easily rebutted.

This is Mark Smith’s earlier analysis of the Silencer Shop case, and the legal issues with the arguments the DOJ presented, before he publicly began to suspect the DOJ was “pulling a Windsor”.

Ever consider the right to contract, rather, the fact states can not abridge the right to contract as what really mattered there?

always

Our country is misconceived as top down vs bottom up, perspective matters.

I.E.

Netanyahu has outright said the US is Rome and this time Israel will win, X (twitter) DHS account was revealed as being in Israel.

Always perspective.

What are you talking about? Basic contract law says that contracts to break the law are unenforceable. So states can and do regulate what can be contracted.

He said this part, among other times, in 2019 in a speech to Trump’s foreign policy officials:

…the last time Pompeo visited Jerusalem didn’t end that well, but this is a different time. Rome and Jerusalem clashed over values. We had a great tragedy for the Jewish people. But the new Rome, the United States, views itself as a new Jerusalem.
We visited the original city on the hill. We visited the hill. There is no greater friendship than the one between Israel and the United States, and no one represents it better than Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Netanyahu was using the term “Rome” to indicate that America was a great and powerful nation, as Rome was. Invoking grand arcs of history like this, he also alludes to the prophecy that Rome and Israel will reconcile, and we will worship G.d together (Genesis 33:14, Zephaniah 3:9).

By saying America views itself as a new Jerusalem, Netanyahu is saying that as Jerusalem is a holy city, so does America strive for righteousness and holiness and wants to do as G.d’s will. The “new Rome” no longer fights G.d, as the old Rome did.

Since the “new Rome, the United States” has already changed so much from the old Rome which destroyed Jerusalem, and has even honored Jerusalem by visiting the Temple Mount’s Western Wall, Netanyahu is invoking these prophecies that the time of the Messiah is near.

EDIT: This article is a rephrasing of an early sermon by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, talking about the old Rome and the new Rome, their transformation vis-a-vis G.d, and the Messiah:
https://www.chabad.org/kabbalah/article_cdo/aid/1342735/jewish/Two-Final-Stages.htm

He was talking about winning this time against the Palestinian terror regime, not America. Israel needs to defend itself against the terrorists invading its borders, not against America. America has not invaded Israel. In fact, America under Trump helped cut off support to the terrorists and the nuclear threat to Israel by bombing Iran.

Section 10 Powers Denied States

  • Clause 1 Proscribed Powers
  • No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

No State shall …Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts,

What is marriage?

Commerce clause.

States can regulate commerce, is marriage commerce?

This article was based on an interview where it was carefully staged to bring up the book, thus justifying the context to be brought up, it was cover, plausible denial, but I know who I’m talking to and that I can bring a :horse_face: to :glass_of_milk: but i can’t make him think.

America is very much Rome, the facts are all around us, they are seen when you allow yourself to see, Jews do not have the current ability to see, I can say that with the cover of scripture, same as the article, context delivers.

But..the veil is quickly slipping, I expect to see Jews truly asking just wtf and allow their hearts to open even now.

Until then if things can’t be discussed with brotherly love it’s best to

Well was vig better ? Not by a long shot.

He was a antisemitic a killer if tve military a hater of Christians they called us the problem they wanted to remove. Sounds echoing back to 1939 in Germany.

New Rome :face_with_spiral_eyes: so are we rolling back taxes or taxing everyone ? Someone will always be in power somewhere and if your up on this we all know who puts them in power.

The early 70’s amps surely were weren’t they :nod:

So what is antisemitic anyhow?

Just anti Jewish or more meaningful, why is it now a crime, why can Jews be antichrist and it’s not a crime?

Why does no one ask the hidden question?

Just pull the thread a bit

Ask AI who controls AI, it will tell you, money does, so who controls money?

At least someone is, and kudo’s for saying so, we’re it, the last stand, pretty exciting too, think where we are and how we got here, think on the future.

To do that we need only think of the past and how we became the great nation we are

To get here we had to go through there, so where’s there tomorrow when we require a swift end to the current civil war?

Ahhh, what war?

None are more helplessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free and neither those who don’t even know they’ve been beat in a silent war.

Soft war I think is the term

What’s missing?

oops, sorry, what’s missing :nod:

Yep in my Opinion AI is the How. The Way “they” are going to dominate the world. Through AI which is HUGE in the stock markets right now , “they” the One World Government will take acquisition of and control of all money and use that to force compliance to what ever Devilish ideas they have in store.
Think about it . According to the Bible the “Anti-Christ “ and man of Sin take control of the world.

How else will they do this unless it’s through AI.

Terminator “ skynet”

No wonder the most popular line was: I”ll be back” because it will. they will be .

You’re thinking at least, but AI is but a conduit, the man of sin , the son of perdition already exist same as mark, name and number, and we also know more about the antichrist that you realize too

To see more you must be open, same as you expect Jews to open to Christ.

What does the screen cap above say about Unit 8200?

Find out exactly how secure Israel is, TLDR is it is VERY secure, US level secure, and that’s not including normal citizens trained
