From Shooting News Weekly: "US District Court in Texas Rules That With $200 Tax Gone, NFA Registration is Unconstitutional." Since the justification for the NFA was that it was to collect taxes, the removal of the $200 tax stamp on certain NFA items, such as SBRs and sound suppressors, left Congress without Constitutional authority to regulate those items. However, the ruling only applies to the plaintiffs in the case and would not extend to NFA items that are still, in theory, taxed. The Mr. Guns & Gear channel has more:

Well they're portionally correct.
ReplyDeleteMy personal opinion is that since the Bill of Rights was intended to change the existing law (the Constitution), the Second Amendment trumps the taxing power of Congress; and so the whole NFA is unconstitutional.
