Howdy,

I hope pards take a few minutes and watch.

Our rights are rights not privileges

Some think otherwise but the American experiment continues.

Watch.

Think.

I found it odd that states can limit the rights of the people but cannot expand people's rights.

 

And to become a "felon" for following state law,

Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 3:§§ 1890--91

1833

§ 1890. The importance of this article will scarcely be doubted by any persons, who have duly reflected upon the subject. The militia is the natural defence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. And yet, though this truth would seem so clear, and the importance of a well regulated militia would seem so undeniable, it cannot be disguised, that among the American people there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline, and a strong disposition, from a sense of its burthens, to be rid of all regulations. How it is practicable to keep the people duly armed without some organization, it is difficult to see. There is certainly no small danger, that indifference may lead to disgust, and disgust to contempt; and thus gradually undermine all the protection intended by this clause of our national bill of rights.

That's a pretty exciting case, I hope it's not decided based on the supremacy of federal law.  It's especially exciting because it focuses on suppressors, so if the court doesn't want to strike down the entire NFA, they can chip away at it.
