  1. What has happened to our Supreme Court? Three of the conservative??judges(men) seem to have been castraited, the other female conservative?? judge is a cowardly pussy, they have abandoned the law and are trying to rule by judicial fiat. This must stop. Maybe if we can win some more seats in both houses then we can impeach these traitors!!!! /

  2. I do not feel the Supreme Court betrayed TRUMP. in real terms, open gun ownership is the biggest threat to his future atte.mpts to retain power at all costs. As a historian, I have disagreed repeatedly with SCOTUS interpretation of the 2nd Amedment; as an individual American, I have applauded those views. As a former moderate GOP that has been abandoned but not changed views in 50 years, I always felt thT the right wing was the only group in the USA capable of instituting the rule of kings; the left wing has always been so pathetically disorganized that they represented no threats to the institutions of the founding fathers. I want to defend my liberties against serious threats, no matter which side of the political spectrum they emmanate from; thus my personal, not intellectual, support of the SCOTUS gun rulings prior to this one.

  3. It has been long established that a person may construct a firearm for one’s own use without the requirement to register it. Only when a firearm is going to be sold must it be serialized and subject to the NFA requirements. Recent regulations require everyone involved not only in the manufacture of firearms, but repair work including stock makers, to be licensed as manufacturers by the BATF. This “fence” between a one-off home shop builder of a firearm and a manufacturer should have been adequate for SCOTUS to make a distinction in this case. Of course, what has changed is the knowledge, tools and craftsmanship required. You must be quite skilled to craft a working firearm from metal using machine tools while drilling several holes in a polymer handgun lower using a jig is not very tough. Let’s hope this distinction gets recognized in the rulemaking that will follow this decision.
