The Federal Firearms Act

Original Intent - a tax protestor's parsing of Chapter 44 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code. Apparently, the machine gun ban and all the language about interstate shipment of firearms applies only between federal territories, not to you and me in our states. The feds have no Constitutional police powers in states. Good luck convincing a jury, though. This reminds me that the county sheriff has the police power in most states. He can tell the feds to pound sand, and they must comply. [kaba]

Yea ... this territory vs. Territory in the USC is a common theme in many common-law/Patriot/anti-tax rants.

It generally takes a federal judge about 2 seconds to over-rule it and tell the defendant to STFU.

Don't bet your liberty on it.
