All the work you've ever done for me has been great. Glad to see you keeping busy.
Some day, when I hit my forever home in Woodland Park... I intend to bother you a whole lot more :rofl:
Concur, you are not an expert.
Please cite the statute that prohibits possession, ownership, or transfer of home made and/or un-serialized firearms.
With respect to federal law (individual states may differ)
Commercial arms manufactured before the 1968 GCA were not required to be serialized...
There are some nuances here.
In order to meet the legal definition of a shotgun, the firearm must be designed to fire from the shoulder... in other words, have a stock (26 USC § 5845(d) ). A short-barreled shotgun, subject to the NFA, is any shotgun with a barrel less than 18", or any weapon...
That is somewhat unclear. From pg 36 of the opinion:
As a layman, I can't say whether this covers everyone within the 6th Circuit, or simply the involved parties. Even then, I'm unsure of whether this means the plaintiffs can take their bumpstocks outside of the 6th Circuit.
Here is a link to the opinion:

Key findings:
1) Chevron deference is never applicable in cases involving criminal statutes.
2) The term "single function of the trigger" refers to the mechanical action of the trigger, independent...
The lead council in the case, Alan Beck, has indicated that he will be filing for SCOTUS review.
The dissent specifically criticizes the majority for refusing to engage in a textual analysis.
"That the majority altogether declines to engage with textual analysis is telling."
It seems like...
You've got a lot of $5 words in there CAPT. That alone makes it appropriate for the Legal Forum. Now you just need to throw in a few Latin phrases and you'll be ready to pass the bar exam :P
The 9th Circuit has issued it's opinion in Young v Hawaii. Young challenged Hawaii's "may issue" permitting scheme for public carry. Opinion can be found here:

I'd point you to Table 5 on page 7 of this report that surveyed prisoners on how they obtained firearms used in crime. https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/suficspi16.pdf
The data show that most guns used in crime are not obtained through legal sales of all types. In fact, guns from retail...
I suppose the conversation can be expanded a bit by including Wickard v Filburn (https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/317/111/), which has nothing to do with firearms, but does deal with the Commerce Clause. Filburn happened to grow excess wheat beyond the quota established by Congress...
As mentioned before, anything bigger than a .22lr will likely be more than "pellet gun" loud. That being said, I find that my rifle and pistol cans bring things down to a level that I'm comfortable with shooting outdoors without ear-pro (this is 100% opinion and not based on scientific...
The answer to this line of scenarios resides in ATF Ruling 2011-4 which can be found here.
The ruling is primarily a result of the Supreme Court's opinion in United States v. Thompson/Center Arms Co. (91-0164), 504 U.S. 505 (1992) which can be found here. Keep in mind that the only portion of...
