Looking at the bill text I posted before this, I hope the Senate tweaks things to get it completely de-listed from ANYthing rather than just making the 'tax' zero. It should be a bubble-pak item hanging next to the Outers cleaning kits and the Hoppe's #9.

DOJ appears to be throwing the case (in favor of the 2nd Amendment).
Unsure how judges deal with something like this.

Wow, it would be nice to see the Peterson case go in favor of freedom. Then the statement "In the view of the United States, the Second Amendment protects firearm accessories and components..." would be a great precedent to overturn the craziness coming out of the Colorado legislature lately (i.e., requiring 'special' training for semi-autos that take magazines, and the 15 round magazine cap).

As happy as I am to see the suppressor issue moving forward, I'm still not a fan of the giant omnibus bills with a bunch of unrelated issues moving through Congress. I'd much prefer to see bills with a single issue or at least several closely related issues, primarily so both Congress and the public know what's actually being addressed by the bills.

Our shitty substandard unethical immoral elected representatives are the single best defense of legislation like this...

Legal precedence is legal precedence and the second a manufacturer can be held legally accountable for bad people doing bad things with their products - the family of Mary Jo Kopechne should be encouraged to sue the shit out of General Motors - straight into the poor house for those mother fuckers...
...for allowing Ted Kennedy to operate an Oldsmobile.

The federal government has firmly established itself as pro-2A.

'Bout bloody time. Long hiatus.
