从枪店老板变身议员的人士称赞此举“恢复”了宪法权利

枪支权利倡导者正为近期一项裁决欢呼，该裁决将使民众更容易获取枪支消音器和特定武器，一位从企业家转型为议员的人士称这是近一个世纪以来“最重大的第二修正案权利恢复”。
曾在佐治亚州本土创办克莱德军械库、之后当选国会议员的克莱德指出，这项监管壁垒从一开始就是错误的，因为它对一项宪法权利征税。
“如果你能合法地对某件事征税，那么你实际上可以通过提高税率摧毁它。你可能‘在纸面上拥有一项权利’，但你实际上并不真正拥有这项权利，因为你负担不起这项权利。这真的能算是一项权利吗？不算，”克莱德告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“所以如今我们正在从1934年通过的一项法案中取消对一项宪法权利的征税。一旦你取消了其中的税收条款，那么附加的登记要求的合宪性也就不复存在了。”

枪支权利团体在法官推翻数十年旧限制后借机造势：“具有里程碑意义”
克莱德去年牵头推动废除1934年《国家枪支法》的部分条款，这项努力最终在《一个伟大美好法案》（OBBBA）中取得成功。
根据这项已有92年历史的法律，对消音器、短管步枪、短管霰弹枪及其他需要额外联邦登记才能获取的枪支征收200美元税款。
共和党人在《一个伟大美好法案》中将该税款降至0美元，枪支权利团体随后以此为据成功辩称，附加的登记要求违宪。不过据美联社报道，该裁决仅影响提起诉讼的相关方，并非对该法律的全国性禁令。
但克莱德称这是“第二修正案的惊人胜利”，并补充说他希望未来能迎来“更多胜利”。

“当你保护第二修正案时，你就是在保护整部宪法中的其他所有修正案——我认为这就是宪法的核心力量所在，”克莱德说。
“集会自由、宗教自由、言论自由、新闻自由，以及不带恐惧地向政府表达不满的权利——这些都是第一修正案的内容，而第二修正案正是保护这些权利的，”他补充道。
克莱德随后带领47名共和党议员致信司法部长托德·布兰奇，敦促其不要对该裁决提起上诉。
信中写道：“提起上诉将延长守法枪支所有者和企业面临的监管不确定性，还会消耗司法部的资源，去捍卫国会和如今一家联邦地区法院都已认定站不住脚的立场。”

枪支权利活动人士的庆祝情绪在周四进一步升温，特朗普政府未就法官的裁决提起上诉，这意味着该命令可以立即生效。
但枪支暴力预防组织谴责了这一不作为。

“如今，我们的政府辜负了我们。午夜时分，极具致命性的武器和装置——包括消音器、短管步枪和霰弹枪——近一个世纪以来首次解除了监管，”反对枪支暴力组织“布雷迪：联合反对枪支暴力”主席克里斯·布朗在周四的一份声明中说道。
“司法部本有机会采取行动保护我们的安全，但它没有这么做……今天，枪支行业和消音器经销商正在庆祝，而美国民众却陷入了更不安全的境地。”

Gun rights gets ‘greatest restoration’ in 100 years with latest Trump DOJ move, lawmaker hails

Gun rights groups celebrate as firearm suppressors shed key federal registration requirements for the first time in decades

Gun store owner-turned-lawmaker lauds ‘restoration’ of constitutional right

Gun rights advocates are cheering a recent ruling that will make it easier for people to obtain firearm suppressors and certain weapons, with a business founder-turned-lawmaker calling it “the greatest restoration” of Second Amendment rights in almost a century.
Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., who founded Clyde Armory in his home state of Georgia before he was elected to Congress, argued that the regulatory barrier was wrong in the first place because it taxed a constitutional right.
“If you can tax something legitimately, then you can actually destroy it through increased taxation. You might, quote, ‘have a right on paper,’ but you don’t really have a right because you can’t afford the right. Is that really a right? It’s not,” Clyde told Fox News Digital.
“So here we are removing the taxation on a constitutional right from a bill that was passed in 1934. And once you remove the tax aspect of it, then you remove the constitutionality of the registration aspect.”

GUN RIGHTS GROUPS CAPITALIZE AFTER JUDGE REVERSES DECADES-OLD RESTRICTIONS: ‘MONUMENTAL’
Clyde led the charge last year to roll back part of the National Firearms Act of 1934, a push that was ultimately successful in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
Under the 92-year-old law, a $200 tax was established on silencers, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and other firearms that also required additional federal registration to obtain.
Republicans reduced that tax to $0 in the OBBBA, which gun rights groups then used to successfully argue that the added registration was unconstitutional. The ruling affects the parties that brought the lawsuit and is not a national injunction on the law, however, according to the Associated Press.
But Clyde said it was an “incredible win for the Second Amendment,” adding he hoped “more wins” would come in the future.

“When you protect the Second Amendment, which protects every other amendment in the entire Constitution — I think that’s the teeth behind the Constitution,” Clyde said.
“The right to free assembly, the right to freedom of religion, the rights of freedom of speech, the right of the free press, and the right to take your grievances to the government without fear of persecution or prosecution — that’s the First Amendment, and that’s what the Second Amendment protects,” he added.
Clyde later led 47 Republican lawmakers in a letter urging Attorney General Todd Blanche not to appeal the ruling.
The letter reads: “An appeal would prolong regulatory uncertainty for law-abiding gun owners and businesses and would consume DOJ resources defending a position that this Congress and now a federal district court has said cannot stand.”

Gun right activists’ celebrations were compounded on Thursday when the Trump administration did not file an appeal to the judge’s ruling, meaning the order could go into effect without pause.
Gun violence prevention groups panned the inaction, however.

“Today, our government is failing us. At midnight, uniquely lethal weapons and devices — including silencers, short-barreled rifles, and shotguns — were deregulated for the first time in nearly a century,” Kris Brown, president of Brady: United Against Gun Violence said in a statement on Thursday.
“The Department of Justice had the opportunity to act to protect our safety, but it failed to do so…Today, the gun industry and silencer dealers are celebrating, while Americans are left less safe.”
