If Josh ends up in Florida and gets the humvee,
Museum of the American GI in Texas is selling some, alongside a 40ft trailer with a generator and fab equipment.
It sounds like they smacked down the ATF reclassification based on rule interpretation. This is unlikely to have applicability to laws that specifically say 'you can't have this thing'.
It's just that the ATF cannot on their own say 'it machine gun' with such a flimsy excuse.
Bruen has been a "disaster" (read: actually starting to follow the text of the 2A) for the ATF in the 5th circuit at least. I'm not surprised because that's TX, LA, and MS... You'd think the 11th or or 8th circuit would have some rulings that'd make a dog shooter cry.
I've mentioned a few cases in Lolpope's crack charges, but there's a real chance major parts of GCA get struck down
Just strike down the NFA and put it out of it's misery. There's several cases pending SCOTUS review:
United States v. Rahimi - All further cases in 5th district on hold for SCOTUS pending outcome of this one. Can someone subject to a DVRO be banned from possessing or transferring a firearm? 5th circuit ruled no on basis of due process. Argued pending SCOTUS decision
US. v Daniels (No. 22-60596). Can someone who actively uses but currently not intoxicated with drugs be banned from possession/transfer of a firearm under 922r(g)? 5th Circuit rules no.
Furthermore, even as the Founders were disarming Catholics and politically disaffected citizens, they left ordinary drunkards unregulated. The government has no meaningful response to the fact that neither Congress nor the states disarmed alcoholics, the group most closely analogous to marihuana usersin the 18th and 19th centuries. As with the government’s analogy to mental illness, we must ask: Which are marihuana users more like: British Loyalists during the Revolution? Or repeat alcohol users? The answer is surely the latter.
The government asks us to set aside the particulars of the historical record and defer to Congress’s modern-day judgment that Daniels is presumptively dangerous because he smokes marihuana multiple times a month. But that is the kind of toothless rational basis review that Bruen proscribes. Absent a comparable regulatory tradition in either the 18th or 19th century,
§ 922(g)(3) fails constitutional muster under the Second Amendment.
McRorey, et al. v Garland No. 23-10837:
Challenge to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022 in Northern District of Texas on 10 day delay purchase of firearms from persons aged 18-20 (I think it's bullshit but what ever). Failed pending
en banc review.
What's a good website to buy real surplus and/also antique surplus?
https://www.empirearms.com/ They've got mostly bolt actions and a few semi-autos like the Garand, SVT, or Ag/m42. Sometimes they'll have broomhandle mausers. Sign up for the mailing list cause all the good picks are from the 24 hours emails.
Are there special permits I can qualify for to get 5.56 in AP?
Like if a bunch of ANTIFA supersoldiers fed the highest quality of soy and niggerdick decide to strap on IV and storm the gates of my Fortified Swamp, I want to gun them down.
At that point just become a 02 FFL and acquire a M202 (4x66mm) FLASH launcher to napalm them to death, or just buy a M82 Barrett (.50 BMG)/ KPV (14.5x114).
If several folks decide to attack you with NIJ IV armor you're kinda fucked regardless unless your training is better or you get the drop on them. Might as well dig a panic bunker underground with an escape tunnel to somewhere.
More rational answer: Just because it will STOP .30-06 doesn't mean that it won't knock them out of combat. 8mm / 30-06 at close ranger will absolutely fuck up your day.
The cheap option: Garand
The expensive option: Johnson M1941 (10 round rotary mag) or a .308 rifle with detachable magazine with SLAP rounds (M94

Bonus tip: 7.62x25 Tokarev (not Mauser) is the cheapest IIIA helmet killer handgun there is. I run it in my EDC rotation.
