Gun owners of America lawsuit heads to the supreme court
The National Firearms Act of 1934 was the beginning of the Fed Govt INFRINGING the 2A, and they have not stopped since!
It is a tremendous shame that this has to happen to a Disabled Combat Vet, but then again maybe this case will open peoples eyes to the absolute depravity of a Govt who has gone off the rails declaring war against the very citizens who have spilled blood defending it!
Time to Wake Up Folks.
“January 14, 2019) — Gun Owners of America (GOA) and its litigating arm, Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), today continued their defense of Jeremy Kettler, a disabled combat veteran, against a conviction for violating the National Firearms Act.
Read GOA’s petition for certiorari before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Obama Justice Department brought criminal felony charges against Jeremy for illegally possessing an unregistered firearm suppressor under the authority of the Kansas “Second Amendment Protection Act.”
The Kansas statute declares that any suppressor manufactured, possessed, and used within the borders of Kansas is exempt from federal law. Relying on that Kansas law, in 2014 Jeremy purchased a suppressor from a local military surplus store, but did not register it with ATF pursuant to the National Firearms Act (NFA).
Believing he was following the law, Jeremy posted a video about his new suppressor on…

RKBA News: Help Us Support Safe Students Act (H.R. 34), Calls Needed!
With the recent revelation that a Florida Sheriff’s Deputy waited OUTSIDE the school for 4 minutes while 17 students were being murdered, I think the time has come for us CITIZENS to stop believing the fallacy that Law Enforcement are our “Protectors”. Let us take up the mantle of being Responsible for our own Safety and Protection and Arm Ourselves accordingly and PROTECT our children like they deserve to be Protected! The Time has come to stop dawdling and take action before another innocent life is lost! -TTH
It’s only been a week since the heartbreaking school shooting in Florida, but anti-gun activists and politicians have already begun yet another campaign to restrict YOUR Second Amendment Rights.
They’ve introduced a bill to supposedly fix the “broken” NICS background system…
… but not only would this bill prevent hundreds of thousands of law-abiding citizens from exercising their Second Amendment rights, it also wouldn’t prevent any mass shootings.
These anti-gun activists are currently trying to convince the President that he should support their disastrous gun control efforts.
And sadly, it may be working. The President, who just came out in support of banning bump stocks, is now in talks with the supporters of the anti-gun NICS bill.
This ban on bump stocks is so broad that it will also cover standard capacity magazines and semi-automatics with pistol grips.
Help us stand up for the Second Amendment, call the White House at (202)-456-1111 today and tell President Trump that he should oppose the expansion of federal background checks and oppose the ban on bump stocks.
If that number is busy, then call 202-456-1414.
There is one proposal that would prevent shootings like this in the future.
The Safe Students Act (H.R. 34) would repeal gun-free school zones across the country, allowing security guards, administrators, teachers, and parents to protect their students.
98% of public mass shootings occur in gun-free zones. These killers target locations where guns are not allowed because they feel safe. Precious lives are lost because of the time it takes to stop these killers.
It’s time to eliminate this ineffective ban and put the safety of our nation’s children first.
Call the White House at (202)-456-1111 today and tell President Trump that he should oppose the expansion of federal background checks … oppose the ban on bump stocks and magazines … and throw his support behind the repeal of gun-free school zones instead.
Again, if that number is busy, then call 202-456-1414.
In Liberty,

Before we Arm Teachers and Staff How About We Repeal Gun Free School Zones First?
In response to President Trumps Memo to direct the Attorney General to seek comments regarding the banning of “Bump Stocks”, the President of Gun Owners of America, Erich Pratt, issued this Response.
The response was also significant in that Mr. Pratt also made this remark, which now weighs heavily in the public discourse seeing that the President has stated he is open to the arming of teachers and staff in our schools.
“While Trump ran as a pro-gun candidate, this action does not appear to line up with his campaign rhetoric. Instead of further restricting the right to keep and bear arms, Trump should urge Congress to pass H.R. 34, which would repeal gun-free school zones, an issue Trump campaigned on.
This bill would also repeal the ludicrous law of gun free zones on military bases.

A “Shockingly” Good Decision: MA Stun Gun Ban Reversed
Boy the Supreme Court are on a tear…first the decision at the beginning of the week about the 2A applies to ALL BEARABLE ARMS and now this! All True Patriots Rejoice! -SF
Antonin Scalia would have been pleased.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed an anti-gun decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, and upheld the 2008 Heller decision in the process.
The Massachusetts case involved a 4’11” woman who was being threatened by an ex-boyfriend, who was nearly a foot taller. She pulled a stun gun and chased him away.
While that was good news for her, this is where things got dicey. Her possession of the stun gun violated the Bay State’s ban on “electrical weapons.”
She was tried and convicted, with the state supreme court ultimately holding that her possession of a stun gun was not protected by the Second Amendment since it represented technology that could not have been foreseen in 1791.
But what about speech that is transmitted via computers, radio and TV? Is that not protected by the First Amendment since this technology did not exist in the eighteenth century?
This was the exact point made by Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas in their concurring opinion:
Electronic stun guns are no more exempt from the Second Amendment’s protections, simply because they were unknown to the First Congress, than electronic communications are exempt from the First Amendment, or electronic imaging devices are exempt from the Fourth Amendment.
As for the brief opinion in Caetano v. Massachusetts, the Supreme Court rejected claims by Massachusetts that stun guns are not protected by the Second Amendment because they are “dangerous and unusual” or because they must be supposedly suitable for warfare.
In each instance, the Court said the Massachusetts opinion was inconsistent with Heller.
