On May 31, the New York Times ran an opinion column which suggested that now is the time to register every gun and fingerprint and photograph every gun owner. The author of the column — Alan Berlow — cited the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) as precedent for such sweeping controls and suggested the NRA and other Second Amendment proponents have no ready defense against registering, fingerprinting, and photographing gun owners. |

Members of the Propaganda Corps are going to make up a significant number of the casualties on the coming battlefield.
The NFA was enacted because at the time Congress understood that under 2A they couldn't outright ban them, but taxing to to be cost prohibitive was probably semi-legal, but amounted a ban in practice.
The Kennedy (may he burn in Hell forever) Amendment to FOPA probably is illegal under 2A. |

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
