Because herald always have to be changing something. This would only be the first step. It’s readily apparent most democrats don’t give a damn about the second amendment. What would the next step be liberals?
How do you get every single person to register all their firearms to be on the registry? Start kicking down doors, detaining people, and ransacking their houses in the name of finding firearms?
The same way to enforce any number of laws requiring registration. You only prosecute for these crimes when they are found during criminal investigations. Felons are not allowed to have firearms yet we don’t go kicking in there doors looking for firearms. They are typically charged when the firearm is discovered while investigating something else.
Haynes v. US only ruled that the statute requiring someone ALREADY prohibited from owning firearms to register violated their 5th amendment rights. The National Firearms Act was revised after the decision and tested again in US v. Freed and registration was upheld.
18 U.S. Code § 926 would presumably be revised if congress passed a national registration requirement for all firearms. It’s statute, not part of the constitution.
I’ve read the entire opinion on US v. Haynes… Why don’t you tell us where you see them destroying the concept of universal registration. We seem to have universal registration of Class III weapons and explosive devices currently. Are you suggesting that these are unconstitutional under US v. Haynes?
