Yep, Here is the full run down… but basically in 1939 a man was arrested for having a sawed off shotgun and claimed the defense of “the 2nd Amendment”. Here is what US attorneys used to argue against his defense:
1.The NFA is intended as a revenue-collecting measure and therefore within the authority of the Department of the Treasury.
2.The defendants transported the shotgun from Oklahoma to Arkansas, and therefore used it in interstate commerce.
3.The Second Amendment protects only the ownership of military-type weapons appropriate for use in an organized militia.
4.The “double barrel 12-gauge Stevens shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches in length, bearing identification number 76230″ was never used in any militia organization.
Notice also that they openly acknowledge in #1 that they are placing a “poll tax” on a God given constitutional right.
