🚨BREAKING🚨
In an ultimate betrayal of the 2nd Amendment, the Trump Department of Justice is DEFENDING the archaic National Firearms Act of 1934. The Justice Department supports gun registration under the Necessary & Proper and Commerce Clauses, and says the $0 NFA tax is still a "valid" tax.
In responding to our Big Beautiful Lawsuit, the DOJ said:
❌ $0 NFA is still a "tax"
❌ Commerce Clause gives Congress power over every aspect of American life
❌ Necessary & Proper Clause fills in any gaps
According to this filing, AG Pam Bondi has just taken the most expansive view of federal power since FDR.
But, it gets worse.
In their filing, the DOJ made the argument for banning EVERY HANDGUN IN AMERICA by stating:
“Seeking to curtail armed crime, the NFA targeted particularly dangerous and easily concealable weapons that 'could be used readily and efficiently by criminals.'"
That also includes subverting the Second Amendment protection against "infringement" by using and applying two mushy adverbs that allow squishy judges to ban whatever firearms they determine are "particularly dangerous" and "uniquely susceptible" to misuse.
Basically, the DOJ just invented a new COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE constitutional test to justify any gun ban it wants to impose.
We will need all members calling the White House and calling on President Trump to work with us to stop this egregious overstep and slap in the face to gun owners.
Call 202-456-1111, and urge Trump's DOJ STOP defending gun registration, STOP attacking the Second Amendment.
