Texas Exempting Suppressors From NFA Regulation

This is a great big show of a nothing burger. Waste of time.

While I don't expect much out of this type of state legislation, I wouldn't go that far. Get 35-40 republican governors to sponsor the same legislation and you reach the average tipping point in the country. FEDS, cave at the tipping point or they lose elections, BADLY.

It's not even a law till a fed judge says it is.

Interesting take on the 10th amendment.

The “commerce clause” establishes federal rule over everything. If a suppressor is made in Texas and stays in Texas, according to SCOTUS if congress decided that the suppressor displaced the sale of a suppressor made in Kentucky and shipped to Texas, the Fed has jurisdiction.

While I think this is absolute Phu#@%ery by the Fed.

If you read up on Wickard v. Filburn you will see what I mean. In short, a farmer grew wheat to feed his own animals. Not only did it not leave the state but it didn’t leave his property. The case went to SCOTUS who ruled he grew more wheat than allowed and affected the national trade in wheat.

In Swift v. USA SCOTUS said congress can rule on things that MIGHT grow to become part of interstate commerce.

I don't think anyone here has enough money to be the test case.

Yep, that Wickard V Filburn should've been overturned years ago, much less been the decision. Many of the laws today utilize the precedent of that case


Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day
