NRA Challenges SBR Restrictions…

Yes, that’s right, 91 years after the National Rifle Association supported the National Firearms Act, now they seem to have issues with it.

While all arms regulations are un-constitutional, remember, “Shall not be infringed”, and we, the American Militia have the right to keep and bear all the terrible and deadly implements of the soldier, this is terrible timing to bring this before the Supreme Court. We must be smart about how we fight for our rights.

Let’s face it, Trump’s three “conservative” picks, have been pretty bad to down right shameful. Remember the recent “ghost gun” ruling? A disaster. Only Thomas and Alito made the right call in that. Of course Roberts is a farce, but he was a Bush Jr. appointee.

I really don’t see bringing a major Second Amendment case to the Supreme Court, given its current make up, as a smart thing to do. We’ve got much more to lose, than to gain now.

There’s two things I see the Supreme Court as likely to do with this case. One, opt not to hear it. Or, they opt to hear and rule the wrong way. Imagine what a MASSIVE set back that’d be for us, the American Militia if the Supreme Court ruled the wrong way.

Did NRA not hear about this this? https://www.ammoland.com/2025/06/scotus-avoidance-of-semi-auto-and-magazine-ban-cases-eroding-respect-for-law/

As David Codrea writes in the above article, ““The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear two cases challenging separate state bans on so-called assault weapons and high-capacity magazines on Monday,” Fox News and other outlets reported. “The court declined to hear cases arising out of Maryland and Rhode Island relating to state regulations on AR-15-style rifles and high-capacity magazines, respectively. The cases had been submitted to the Supreme Court after lower courts upheld the bans in the face of challenges.”

Gun owners who have been following the cases have been let down and outraged by repeated relistings in conference, and seeing SCOTUS then reject addressing fundamentals at the heart of Founding intent for the Second Amendment goes beyond maddening. It’s inexcusable, especially since a proper opinion, that of course such arms are protected, is obvious to anyone who is not ignorant or delusional. What’s also obvious is the strongest voices against that conclusion are well aware such prohibitions are every bit as subversive as they are.”

Again, what’s NRA expect to accomplish? Wasting more members money it can’t afford to lose? That’s the best outcome. The worst is again, the Supremes hear the case and rule the wrong way, then we’re really screwed.

If NRA were smart, especially given the uproar in the 2A world over suppressors and seeing some movement, (milquetoast movement) but movement none the less on the legislative front, the NRA and other 2A groups should be making this an issue in Congress FIRST. After all, Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. As we get closer and closer to the mid terms, 2A groups should use that as leverage, whispering to the legislators, “Do you really want to have a anti 2A vote on your record leading up to the mid terms?”…
