Friend,
This last week saw big news
regarding NFA litigation as the FPC-backed case Peterson v. United States was petitioned to the Supreme
Court!
The cert petition was filed March 9th in Washington D.C.,
and a decision in this important case would affect the entire
nation.
That’s because a ruling in Mr.
Peterson’s favor would overturn his conviction and restore the right
of peaceable people to possess suppressors without submitting to
unconstitutional taxation and registration schemes.
“FPC is proud to back this
important Supreme Court petition challenging the federal government's
immoral and unconstitutional NFA registration-and-tax regime. Forcing
people to pay special taxes on constitutionally protected rights and
register their firearms is precisely the kind of tyranny our Founders
rejected,” said FPC
President Brandon Combs.
“The Fifth Circuit wrongly
rebranded the federal registry and tax as a mere 'licensing' system to
dodge the Supreme Court's binding Second Amendment cases. The Court
should take this case and make clear that the government can't treat
the Second Amendment like a second-class right, especially not through
a federally imposed tax and registration scheme. We will keep
supporting Mr. Peterson's case and continue our work to eliminate
these unconstitutional laws for all peaceable people across the United
States.”
