You're both right, but your comment is confusing the issue. You're linking to the relevant case for TFA, whereas parent is linking to the relevant case for this thread regarding FPSRussia.

The NFA has faced multiple post-Bruen challenges, particularly regarding short-barreled rifles (SBRs) and suppressors. A key case was United States v. Dalton in Nevada, where the court found SBR restrictions unconstitutional based on lack of historical analogues. Cases like United States v. Price question the NFA's tax requirements and registration scheme through Bruen's historical tradition test.

The core challenge is demonstrating historical analogues for regulating specific firearm features from 1791 or 1868, as required by Bruen. Registration and taxation of firearms largely emerged in the early 20th century, making historical analogues difficult to establish for much of the NFA's framework.

However, lower courts remain split on these challenges, and the Supreme Court hasn't directly addressed NFA provisions post-Bruen. This area of law continues to evolve rapidly.

I was interested, so went and checked out the filing for this [1], it looks like he only got hit with the possession with intent to distribute, with the other 3 charges (including 'possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number') being dismissed.

Are you sure that's the same case? That links says, "Last Updated: Oct. 7, 2022, 6:14 a.m." and the defendant name is different from in the OP.

This appears to be the actual case: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69482949/united-states-...

I'd expect a enemy state's ability to get information out of a system would in fact be correlated with insider's desires to chat about what they did at work. Find some bloke who is a bit lonely, a bit talkative and has good security access, send out a hot woman with an unexpected interest in military specifications. I'm no spymaster but that seems like something a spy agency could manage. Might be able to grab a stickynote with a few key passwords on it to sweeten the operation.

Even better a woman who kinda looks like the target’s ex - a duper hot woman stands out and might activate the bloke’s memory of training. Spies whole thing is to blend in, appear unremarkable.

I’m building https://chattysun.com

We make it easy for any website to take advantage of the latest LLMs for sales and support function. Been reaching out to freelance clients and finding many of them want this type of feature so we can provide it to them easily, sometimes with little to no customization.

VERY similar to the situation in the rental market where large landlords are being investigated for using software to enable collusion and price fixing.

I’ve built a tool that allows anyone to add an AI chatbot to their website. There are lots of features I would like to add but I’m making the jump into sales and marketing work by starting a youtube channel to promote the product.
