        grinding off the serial number is just asking for trouble. the likelihood of some cop seeing it and going full probably cause is WAY more likely than having an unmarked gun benefitting you in some way.

          Why would a cop see it? Twice I have been detained for over an hour for refusing to consent to a search while stopped for a traffic misdemenor and denied police the right to finger frick my weapon. In the 2nd case I went to court and beat a seatbelt charge by questioning same highway patrol for an hour in pro se about his action during that stop. That serial number is mostly to catalog gun ownership for door kicking in the future. Nice work Justice Thomas. That will teach the left about what happens when you electronically lynch a SCOTUS nominee.

The guy did like 10 containers in stacks two high with stairs installed. The hedge fundie was, apparently 100% positive there is going to be a collapse, potential war, etc and intended to keep living in style, and the guy who was helping me put mine down said that the fundie "Seemed to know something I didn't."

      There were a few times I can think of it's come up. One of my cousins had to put a ton of paperwork through to the atf to get a new serial number on a 1911 a guy inherited from his grandfather, who scratched the original off after he brought it home from the war. Or the time a gunsmith rewelded a frame and got arrested for the original serial being damaged.

        As the law stands with this ruling, manufacturers still have the same marking requirements, so no.
        And make sure you like that gun first, since you're still unable to sell a gun with an altered serial number.

        So from what I'm getting is. It literally only unbans the possession of guns with no serial numbers, but you can still get in trouble for modifying the serial numbers? Or am I dumb and confused.

        >It literally only unbans the possession of guns with no serial numbers
        With altered or obliterated serial numbers, yes. Guns that never had a serial number (homemade, or pre-GCA) were not banned, and so are not affected.
        >you can still get in trouble for modifying the serial numbers?
        Check your state laws, since some states absolutely do forbid that.
        Federally, I'm unaware of a law against altering it, since the ban on possession already covered it. But assuming I'm right, I would expect a bipartisan "fix" for that soon.

            As long as they obey all the various federal and local laws, and you aren't a prohibited person like a convicted felon then yes. You can go to the hardware store and buy pipe to make a legal length shotgun tonight or order about $400 worth of parts to make a glock clone with a drill. And you don't need to put a serial number on it.

            Federally, yes, you really are.
            A manufacturing FFL is required to "engage in the business" of manufacturing firearms for sale, so don't do that, but making guns for your own use is completely legal. FFLs have a whole slate of regulations (marking firearms, keeping records, etc.); these don't apply to non-licensees making guns for their own use.
            NFA (registration for machineguns, silencers, sawed-off shotguns, and the like) still applies whether you're an FFL or not.
            And of course, if you're prohibited from possessing firearms (felony, misdemeanor domestic assault, involuntarily committed by a court, etc.), obviously you can't make a firearm without violating that prohibition.

            A few states have laws that infringe to varying degrees, whether specifically (older "zip-gun" laws as well as recent "ghost gun" shit) or generally (AWBs), so check your state laws, but in most states if you're good federally, you're good.

          The Constitution explicitly provides a way to change it. It's difficult, requiring supermajority support, but that's a feature, not a bug.
          We've used this process often, at times when we had a broad societal agreement of what needed changing*, so it's clearly not impossible. If you want to redo the 2A, go for it, but you have a lot of convincing to do, and I suggest that calling the whole process "moronic" is a poor way to start.

            Except a good amendment isn't supposed to be this static thing that doesn't ever get updated or reinterpreted. It's supposed to be something that can be rethought as the world changes - so you can keep the concept alive forever. Our interpretations have changed, but that's because the WORLD has changed too.
            Hell, the 2nd went through this EXACT process. Until recently, it was this podunk amendment that was specifically about forming militias, there with the 3rd as a vestige of an earlier time. It was only when black people started publicly bearing arms in the 60s, and gun legislation was put in place to stop them, that it was reinterpreted into the 'SHALL' you people keep jerking off to.
            What an amendment means, what is allowed by it, and how it is applied changes over time. This change should happen slowly, but it should happen. The idea that we should keep our interpretations of them strictly in the era when they were written turns our Constitution into a useless anachronism that can't meaningfully guide policy decisions in our modern age.

                The purposes of an amendment is to change the principles of our nation, not to clarify principles that have already been stated. The latter is for the US Code and Supreme Court to flesh out.
                Stuff like 'we won't treat people like chattel anymore' or 'women can vote too I guess' or 'the thing that was never supposed to be elected by the people is now going to be elected by the people' get amendments. Stuff like '2nd Amendment means SHALL instead of militias' or '5th amendment applies to felons registering firearms' or '1st Amendment applies to campaign donations' gets interpreted.
                The reason it's so difficult to pass an amendment is because interpretation is supposed to do most of the work in updating the Constitution. Amendments aren't merely updates - they're changes in the trajectory of the nation.

              there's two processes for amending the constitution that are specified in the constitution, but you are saying that the people who wrote the constitution just put that whole section in as a joke and that when you want to change the constitution the way they really intended it to happen is you're just supposed to wave your hands and say "lol they didn't really mean that"? sounds pretty sus to me.

              Incorrect. The Founding Fathers realized that laws are not static/immutable in all aspects as that had been the standard throughout their entire life. By this time the legal system that had guided their whole life was based around laws and interpretations thereof. That is why we have the judiciary branch to analyze the historical context, literal context, and current legal interpretation of the law using a system of evidence and precedence. Evidence is the core of your argument, the "facts" as it were. Precedence is the cement that shows your facts aren't shit and have background to support. The Founders had many early cases deciding how rights apply and the limitations that they encounter (check the very first free speech cases brought before the court). That being said over 200 years of precedent has determine the following regarding the 2A. Commercial sales may require a background check, sales may be limited from certain individuals given strict legal consequence of a felony or misdemeanor domestic abuse, and certain "types" of guns may be regulated (though this ruling is weal and will likely fall before this incarnation of the court). They have also found the 2A is a fundamental right for all citizens excluding those with legal blockers, and that the term militia applies to all citizens. Additionally we are very close to a ruling that should have been clarified centuries ago that proves that all aspects of a firearm are 2A protected (ammo, mags, etc). Now all that being said. The Amendment itself is ironclad. The policy implications around it are not. But it is clear by the Fathers text and terminology, that they found gun laws as mostly incompatible with the Republic at the time. Which is why you see almost 0 gun laws passed until Westward expansion and stabilization of the East Coast to settled. And even then not until 1930 that the Fed makes any real gun law change

                The reason the 2nd is worded like it is entirely stems from the founding fathers wanting an army without paying for one, or having a standing army (also fear of slave revolts). This was a fricking mistake as shown in 1812, where militia performed fricking terribly.

                The intent behind the second amendment is vastly different than the conception often held by its most ardent supporters. No, it was not to defend liberty by being able to overthrow the government. It was a radical idea at the time of creating a nation where everyone was capable of defending it from outside attack. This concept didn’t pan out.

                This idea predates the idea of standing armies. It was intended as both. The founding fathers loathed the aristocracy and monarchism. The 2A was insurance against some despot declaring themselves King of America or the actual King of England coming back. They did in 1812 and BTFO these militiamen like you said but so far no King of America.

                The reason why the 2nd amendment is worded like that, as the Federalist papers line out, that even if it wasn't particularly effective, the People should have the ability to organize in order to deter a threat, and in order to have this ongoing ability, they must be allowed to keep arms. The actual effectiveness of this is besides the point.

                >Muh war of 1812

                Which happened because they tried to form militia of people who not only did not bear arms themselves, but literally had no idea how to fricking use them. What also didn't help is that US commanders for some fricking reason insisted on deploying the militia as an offensive army. Ironically enough, on the british side, the Canadian militias performed formidably on multiple occasions because the brits actually armed and directed them.

                Even after all this, the effect of the US militia was very pronounced; even though they often performed at a 5:1 ratio when faced with Britain army, the sheer number of them meant the Brits couldn't take land easily. Everywhere they went, their advances were stalled by militiamen and there have been many cases of the US simply being capable of ignoring the need to garrison their fords with anything more than a commander because the militia would just fully shore up the defenses and cuck the brits when they tried seiging it. The militia weren't effective but they made the war essentially unwinnable because they just outnumbered the brits 10 to 1

                You had actual revolvers back then, they just weren't that reliable and were outrageously costly. You also had shit like organ guns and the first commercial repeater airrifles. But the FF's were well aware of their existence

              You are right for reasons you do not know. An update should solely be used to clarify that the people are still free and have not become enslaved in the trappings of a new age.
              The spirit of the law is not what should be reinterpreted, only the letter of it, and only to more closely match what the intent behind the original amendment was.
              I should be allowed to speak, believe, and learn about whatever I want
              I should be allowed to own any weapon I want
              I should be allowed the privacy of my own home, not being forced to harbor others within it
              I should be allowed the privacy of my own property, no one should forcibly rifle through and take whatever they want from my home, car, or whatever else
              I should be allowed due process and be immune to a double charge for a crime I've been cleared of
              I should be given a fair trial as soon as possible, judged by impartial mediators
              I should be able to request a trial by jury in civil court
              I should be immune from excessive fines and cruel and unusual punishments
              I shouldn't have to explain that my rights do not end with these alone and that common sense dictates that I am a free person with all the rights due to one
              I shouldn't have to explain that all powers not specifically listed as belonging to the government belong to me
              These 10 rights, as included on the day of their instatement, were never intended to be changed from their original spirit. They cannot be removed, not only because it would be a violation, but because they are self-evident to anyone who simply understands the world. These laws are not given to me because they are written, they are only being enshrined and reminded of there. They were given to me the day I was born, and will only be taken the day that I die. This is so for all men, everywhere on this earth.

        • 1 year ago
          Anonymous

          Actually, sometime before the War of 1812, people wrote in to Congress asking if they were allowed to fit cannons onto their ships to defend themselves against pirates and the like, some asking about paperwork for these things. Congress, which by then was still at least partly staffed with some of the Founding Fathers, wrote back to them saying that the Second Amendment entirely covered this issue and they were allowed to do so without any paperwork or legal fees needed, and encouraged them to mount as many guns to their vessels as they wanted to have.
          Therefore, you actually are allowed to own a warship as a civilian, as a ship with cannons mounted to it was pretty much the standard of a military warship at the time more or less. Same with muskets, they were the standard military arm of the time, thus making the average civilian on equal footing to any soldier in the military.
          If leftists think that the Second Amendment is so immutable that we cannot upgrade to continue being equal to the military, perhaps then they should lobby that we ban this excessive military equipment we have and return our army and navy their flintlocks and wooden warships. Or similarly, we can return blacks to being sharecroppers and day laborers paid pennies on the dollar, as the 14th amendment clearly didn't account for the rights of black people to scale up with the rights, stature, or degree of citizenship of white people either.

            The United States isn't at war with pirates anymore. What could be interpreted as 'The common man has the right to obtain weaponry equal to the army of the nation' could just as easily be interpreted as 'the common man has the right to obtain weaponry necessary to their life'. The latter is far more limiting, since African pirates have swapped out their near-peer warships for assault dinghies.

              While I'm aware of the Barbary War, there's plenty more precedent to say that the Founders clearly meant us to be as armed as any military force was.
              To list a few of the reasons I can think of off the top of my head:
              >we just defeated the largest land army in human history up to that point with a citizen militia, clearly the first order of business wouldn't be to disarm your nation because we were not immediately at war with Britain again and they thus didn't need the guns
              >the Founders stated that they could have as many cannonades as they wished on their ships, not as needed
              And of course the classic:
              >the wording of the Second Amendment clearly states that the right of all citizen's to own guns shall not be infringed upon, meaning that anything impeding one's right to any weapon is unconstitutional and wrong
              Aside from the obvious exceptions of cases where one is not of sound mind and couldn't be trusted with one (even then, I think it best for a citizen to be doing the impeding there and not the government, family, friends, and whoever else could lock the guns away until the schizo gets better or whatever), then I think the matter has far more evidence, both clearly written and implied by the times, that one should be allowed to own whatever weapons one wishes, with the only real limiting factors being one's budget. Even the joke about recreational nukes is fair game and even generally safe when you consider that fairly few people could afford the space, maintenance costs, and radiation detection, protection, and related equipment, not even counting the price of a nuclear warhead itself. The few people who could possibly afford these would have little reason to even use them, as they would likely own large businesses and thus don't want to destroy the world containing their profit margins.

            It blows my mind that people that claim to be on the right side of history know so little about it. Like the fact that the vast majority of the continental army's equipment was privately owned, including the ships and artillery. They had cannons because when they summoned the goons, they said bring whatever you got, and a good number of those goons brought their cannons that they just kept at home, and some of the richer homies brought their big ass boats, that also had cannons mounted on them.

          1st, where's the problem?

          2nd, you're badly misunderstanding NYSRPA v. Bruen's logic.
          2A's validity and fundamental meaning (protecting a pre-existing individual right, as opposed to creating a new right, or referring to a collective right) remian just as they have been since Heller. They were not derived from tradition then, nor are they under Bruen.
          Bruen only drags in tradition (rightly or wrongly) to answer the question: "What is the scope of the 'right to keep and bear arms' referred to?"
          For example, a tradition of regulating weapons in courthouses is taken to mean that bearing arms in specific sensitive places was not part of the right as then understood.

          Taking the 19th amendment as an example:
          You could use similar logic to search history and tradition to determine the meaning of "sex" in the 19th amendment, and find justification to uphold a hypothetical ban on non-binaries voting.
          You couldn't use it to claim the whole amendment is invalid.
          And it goes without saying that no honest historical examination could interpret "sex" in a way that would uphold a ban on women voting.

          3rd, there is plenty of room to argue about the validity of the reconstruction amendments, but Bruen's logic has nothing at all to do with that.

Even good laws, or ones you agree with enacted in bad faith should be removed.

          You are completely misunderstanding the ruling and the constitution in general. The ruling basically affirms limitations on government power to curtail a right enshrined in the constitution, it didn't expand government powers to regulate or blanketly ban anything that didn't exist in 1776. I swear you people posting this shit have to be doing this on purpose because you hate guns and want to scare people into thinking the government is going to ban gay sex and avocado toast too, because otherwise you have an IQ of like 60.

                Legal frameworks do not dictate all ethics. Ethics are rooted in personal moral codes and can only be consistent depending on the ethics chosen. In a strict contractual sense Dredd vs Scott is legally defensible. From an ethical code (depending on the one at the time) it was note. According to a Kantian ethical code it would not be ethical. The law strives to be ethical, but can not be so in all cases. The law ultimately rests in collective of society. Which can be described as unethical in a number of ways. I'm not trying to be circular here. Just trying to point out that ethical rulings are not really possible in a uniform way and thus can not be impartially used. Whereas someone ruling legally and traditionally can be described. A law degree is not necessary in the discussion of ethics.

        That's not how it works. Legal limitations on how arms may be owned, carried, or acquired that did not exist or have an extant analog in 1791-1792 are unconstitutional according to the standard set forth in NYSRPA v. Bruen. It does not limit what kind of arms or what capabilities they can have to 1791 at all. Instead, the only limits that can be placed on arms you can have are few. From NRA's "America's 1st Freedom."

        >In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment protects “arms ‘in common use at the time’ for lawful purposes like self-defense” and arms that are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Such arms are “chosen by American society,” not the government.

          When talking about v. Bruen, you'd be correct, but the issue is we're talking about v. Price, which will be the more recent precedent that will be found, or at least lifted up by grabbers. They brought up v. Bruen in the article because it was the more sensible interpretation.

            Your whole post implies you believe this decision is inconsistent with or a departure from NYSRPA v. Bruen. If so, why? Where do you see it going astray?
            Please be specific.
            I'm sure you read it already, but in case you want to review it:
            https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wvsd.234171/gov.uscourts.wvsd.234171.48.0.pdf
            Hard mode: Point to the part that could be applied or extended to declare "cased bullets" unconstitutional.

            I've read the decision, and not only does it say nothing to support the nonsense in

            It's essentially saying that because serial numbers on firearms did not exist when the 2nd Amendment was ratified, serial numbers being mandated on guns is unconstitutional.

            This sets an extremely stupid precedent, because, under this framework, any advancement in firearms made after 179X could be deemed unconstitutional. Bullets? When the frick did cased bullets exist then? Unconstitutional! Automatic mechanisms? The hell they did, ban them!

            There are ways to keep grabbers away from funs, but this is NOT the way to do it.

            , but it seems to be a very straightforward application of the Bruen precedent. It specifically addresses and finds unconstitutional the prohibition on *possessing* a firearm with an altered serial number, and in doing so specifically contrasts that prohibition with various commercial requirements, including the marking requirements for licensed firearms manufacturers, and the prohibitions on transporting, shipping and receiving in commerce firearms with altered serial number. Those were not at issue in this case, and thus aren't specifically declared constitutional, but the contrast being drawn would make it hard to use this ruling (if it were precedent at all) to find them unconstitutional.

            >more recent precedent
            This is a district court decision, so it isn't precedent at all. Assuming it does get appealed, save your handwringing till then, and let's see what actual precedent the 4th Circuit sets. Even then, for everyone outside the 4th Circuit, it won't be binding, so Bruen is 100% the correct reference point.

          It goes deeper. The court considers the intent of the framers. The word 'analog' also applies. The intent was that the citizen would own a firearm that is an analog or is interchangeable in function and it was that 'The State' could be defended against a runaway government, and this is only realistic if they have the same capability. The framers also did not believe in a standing army, so the issue of why an army has weapons not available to a militia comes into question.

        i think its more the fact, did the government deem it necessary that the 2nd amendment should allow the government to have a database on all firearms via a serial number, and that removing that serial number or not having one would make your "arms" illegal and then they can take it from you. the precedent since the 2nd amendments inception was that the individual citizen can have equal or greater means to arm themselves than the armed forces, hence cannons and warships being legal.

        Not really for the simple fact that if technology was at the level of 1776 (or whatever arbitrary number) then that's the highest the people can have, then I want my fricking cannons and howitzers, both of which were in private hands then. Also, that would be rather nasty legal precedent considering that the first amendment also would fall under that exact limitation. Would we all be removed from the internet and forced to use the printing press again? As much as the shitlibs are pushing conservatives to that end, that's not how the law works.

        This is perhaps the most moronic take on the Bruen decision that I have ever seen. The only things that can be declared unconstitutional are state or federal laws or rules. A bullet cannot be "unconstitutional" because it is not a law.

        No it's not you fricking smoothbrain. It means that their can't be laws regulating things that weren't intended to be regulated around the time of the Constitution. You can't just ban something because it didn't exist in the 1790s. You can try passing a law that does that ban bullets it would also get struck down immediately from the current SC, Heller, and the fact even the furthest left don't even try it.

        Honestly, there are still guns in common circulation with no serial numbers. Nobody was required to serialize shit until the late 20th century, so cheap catalog guns were almost never serialized. It added too much time and bother for the equivalent of Hi-Points, let alone all the Belgian and Spaniard pirate guns that were already in the country. I live in a state with a serialization "requirement" and I can go down to the Cabela's right now and pick any one of a dozen .22s and shotguns off the rack that have never had a serial number and won't require one to own.

        As soon as it's safe to throw the kill switch on your batch. The ones you hear about were the duds, the vax is supposed to make it easy to remove you en masse when the time comes. Boosters are so the "code" remains up to date, it can still degrade somewhat over time as your body attempts to remove the rogue strands of DNA, which it recognizes as a virus.
        Of course, if you got the military or Israeli variants for example, you may not die immediately. Those are separate sets, meant for individuals who step out of line so you can immediately be killed if you diverge from what you're told to say or do.
        The truth is that you won't die until we want you to. But it's okay, as long as the government is still standing then you probably have nothing to worry about, just follow the law as prescribed and generally do what you're told to do, and you'll be just fine.

      It doesn't even do that, though. The government is free to keep the whole FFL scheme including the marking requirements for manufacturers and importers, and to keep its prohibitions on various commercial activity with firearms having altered serial numbers.
      It doesn't even hold that the government can't criminalize the act of altering or obliterating a serial number by anyone, without regard to commerce. (I don't recall such a prohibition in federal law, since the possession law already covered it, but many states do have one.)
      It only holds that government isn't allowed to ban *possession* of such a firearm.

      >Is this a first step to ban anything more modern than 76?
      No. I don't understand how dumb you people are.
      >Court says govt can't require serial numbers
      >somehow this means there is more gun control
      Seriously, please explain how you think this will happen.

    Eh, the government will probably just ask manufacturers to hide a tiny serial number inside of the gun somewhere.

    By this ruling, it wouldn't be illegal to do that, it just wouldn't be illegal to obliterate it.

    yet more evidence that Thomas is a fricking moron, because guns had had proof marks indicating where, when and who produced them for almost 100 years by 1791.
    fricking originalists are the libertarians of the legal systems, so stupid they think they're smart

      A proof mark doesn't identify an individual gun.

      Proof marks are the modern equivalent of a brand name on your gun. Serial numbers identify the specific gun as well as your name or social security number identifies you. It's not 1:1 comparable.

      Guns had serial numbers for a long ass time, but they weren't required until 1968.

        Some had serials most notably military armories for tracking. Common gun serials were not even normalized by the 1920s

        It depends how you interpret the word "serial number". Do we mean in the narrow sense "a series of digits to identify a specific firearm" or do we mean in the broad sense "a manufacturers mark to identify a firearm". Narrow sense, its new, broad sense its not. Pic related identifies the manufacturer and the regiment the firearm was sent to.

      Proof marks aren't serial numbers you idiot. There are millions of .22s and shotguns with no serial numbers from pre 1968.

    I am as pro-2A as anyone else, but this is fricking stupid. It does nothing to protect gun rights and does everything to assist criminals.

    Shit like this is a give-away to the anti-2A crowd. Absolutely idiotic.

      Good God Fudd, read the entire thread. This has been answered. Do you like the thought of Universal Background Checks? While I am sure you never need more than your bolt action deer rifle and double barrel shotgun, that's an end run for defacto registration. If no guns have serial numbers, they can be bought and sold without the UBC, thus no registration.

      No you aren't
      >but this is fricking stupid. It does nothing to protect gun rights
      How does removing a gun law (potentially) not help gun rights?
      >and does everything to assist criminals.
      How? Be specific. How will crime increase?
      >Shit like this is a give-away to the anti-2A crowd. Absolutely idiotic.
      Imagine giving a shit about what anti gunners think. How have you not realized they hate you, want to take your rights, and playing "nice" gets you no where?

    So from what I'm getting is. It literally only unbans the possession of guns with no serial numbers, but you can still get in trouble for modifying the serial numbers? Or am I dumb and confused.

    Can an anon explain to an idiot.
    What are the implications of this ruling?
    And what could actually come from it?
    Isn't there an actual federal law about removing serial numbers from fire arms?
    Or just having one?

    Does this extend to home-produced firearms without serial numbers?

    Beyond manufacturing this doesnt really impact the average gun owner. I wouldnt go grinding off my serials on any gun that could be involved in self defense.

    No, judge acknowledges that the previous case that upheld the ban was unconstitutional.
