Federal Judge Blocks ATF Enforcement of NFA Registry After Tax Drops to $0 - Ammoland.com
A federal judge has permanently enjoined the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)from enforcing major registration and transfer requirements of the National Firearms Act of 1934 against a broad coalition of plaintiffs after Congress zeroed out the longstanding $200 tax on short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, silencers, and “any other weapons.”
In Silencer Shop Foundation v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix ruled that the challenged regulatory scheme is unconstitutional because it no longer functions as a revenue measure under the Taxing Clause—the sole constitutional foundation Congress invoked when it passed the NFA more than ninety years ago.
The National Firearms Act was enacted in 1934 (NFA) purely as a tax statute. Congress imposed a $200 making and transfer tax on certain firearms and devices—short-barreled shotguns (SBS), short-barreled rifles (SBR), silencers, and any other weapons (AOWs)—and layered on extensive administrative requirements: Form 1 and Form 4 applications, fingerprints, photographs, local law-enforcement notification, and entry into the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. Machine guns and destructive devices remained subject to the same $200 tax. The stated purpose was to raise revenue while simultaneously constricting the market for these items through the heavy tax and regulatory burden.

Flock’s Flying Cameras: How $300 Million Drone Deal Turns America Into an Always-On Surveillance Grid - Ammoland.com
Flock Safety has been all over the news in recent years, sparking intense debates about its widespread network of automated license plate reader cameras used to track the movements of ordinary Americans. Critics argue the technology creates a persistent surveillance grid that records where people drive, when they travel, and who they associate with, often without individualized suspicion or a warrant. Yet a greater threat to privacy is already taking shape through Flock, and companies like it. The firm’s aggressive expansion into aerial platforms threatens to transform static street-level monitoring into a mobile, nearly invisible mesh of airborne surveillance.
In October 2024, Flock Safety acquired Aerodome for more than $300 million. Aerodome, a young startup focused on Drone-as-a-first-responder technology, developed an NDAA-compliant, American-made drone system now marketed under the Flock Alpha name.

Health Issue
I am currently dealing with a few health issues. I fell again and possibly herniated another disc in my back as my left leg is about 40-50% of it's normal strength. I also still haven't been able to afford getting my A/C repaired, so I have been dealing with temperatures in the 90's heat index well over 110 degrees. I am dealing with it, but it's hard, and couple that with my physical well being, it makes it more difficult.
Over on the right, there are some QR codes if you can donate some to help me get my A/C fixed. The Tech who came out said it would be almost $900. I've been paying down my credit card to try to build up enough of a buffer cover the cost, but it's hard.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have scheduled posts to go until tomorrow, I'm going to lay back down and put an ice bottle on my head.
Trump DOJ Defends NFA Gun Registry Despite Supreme Court’s Wolford Ruling - Ammoland.com
Something is not adding up inside President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice.
The administration has created a Second Amendment enforcement unit, intervened on behalf of gun owners in major constitutional cases and publicly promised to protect the right to keep and bear arms. Yet DOJ attorneys continue filing lower-court briefs that sound as though Merrick Garland never left the building.
Constitutional attorney Mark Smith, host of The Four Boxes Diner, is calling attention to the latest and perhaps most glaring example: the government’s July 27 supplemental brief in Brown v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The case, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, challenges the National Firearms Act’s continued regulation and registration of short-barreled rifles and suppressors.

DSA’s Citizen-Disarmament Agenda Exposes Its Tyrannical Endgame - Ammoland.com
“Democrats, typically (but not always) aligned with gun control, are facing the prospect of their political party turning their gaze to complete control,” the National Shooting Sports Foundation reports. “Enter the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).”
“The DSA’s platform includes abolition of the U.S. Senate … replacing the President of the United States and U.S. Supreme Court with an Executive and Judicial Branch that would be subordinate to what’s left of Congress,” NSSF documents, adding “[I]n 2018, the DSA explicitly called for the repeal of the Second Amendment, stating, ‘… the only way to guarantee that we will dramatically reduce acts of violence involving guns is to remove guns from society.’”
That and they published a call for repealing the Second Amendment via a 28th Amendment that would prohibit “manufacturing, transportation or importation in or into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of pump-action, semi-automatic or automatic firearms.”
“The Second Amendment is a Threat to us All,” that essay declared, and then dictated what would be “acceptable”:
