How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • explaining Congress changed the legislative scheme to flatly prohibit possession of an unregistered gun and therefore contraband
  • considering a taxing power challenge to the National Firearms Act’s shotgun possession regulations
  • “The fact that not everyone might be able to obtain a short-barreled shotgun, since the BATF must first approve the reasonable necessity and public safety declarations, does not invalidate the NFA as a taxing statute.”
