Congress Eliminated NFA Tax - Now New Jersey Fights to Keep SBR Ban | FPC vs Platkin Explained

Описание: What You'll Learn: Congress just eliminated the $200 NFA tax on suppressors and short-barreled rifles in early 2025, but kept all registration requirements in place. This seemingly small change has triggered a massive constitutional challenge that could reshape gun rights across America. The Firearms Policy Coalition is now suing New Jersey in FPC vs Platkin, arguing that the state's complete ban on short-barreled rifles (SBRs) is unconstitutional under the Supreme Court's Bruen decision.

Key Topics Covered: • How the "One Big Beautiful Bill" eliminated the 91-year-old NFA transfer tax • Why removing the tax exposes the entire NFA framework to constitutional challenge • What short-barreled rifles (SBRs) are and why they were regulated since 1934 • The FPC vs Platkin lawsuit challenging New Jersey's SBR ban • How the Bruen standard requires historical tradition for gun regulations • Why New Jersey can't prove any founding-era or reconstruction-era analogue for SBR bans • The domino effect threatening bans in California, New York, Massachusetts, and other states • What happens if FPC wins or loses this case • The bigger legal battle dismantling the National Firearms Act framework

Why This Matters: If FPC wins, every state ban on NFA items could fall like dominoes. California, New York, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Hawaii, and Massachusetts all have similar bans that would face immediate legal challenges. This isn't just about New Jersey—it's about whether 20th-century gun regulations can survive in a post-Bruen world where historical tradition matters more than modern safety arguments.

Timeline: The case is currently in motion-to-dismiss phase as of early 2025, with New Jersey arguing standing, ripeness, and immunity defenses. FPC has filed opposition, and we're waiting for the court's ruling on whether the case proceeds to full merits hearing.
