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 |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
