Feds Say Wyoming Man Has No Right To Make His Own Machine Gun

Cowboy State Daily By Clair McFarland 3/16/2023
After a Wapiti man sued the federal government for the right to build his own machine gun, the federal government Monday said the Second Amendment doesn’t allow citizens to own machine guns.
Jake Stanley DeWilde in January sued U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF), saying the government wrongfully denied his application to build his own M16 machine gun and a federal ban on such weapons is unconstitutional.
‘Dangerous And Unusual’
The federal government in its Monday filing says that courts have consistently ruled that the Second Amendment protects weapons in “common use” but does not protect “dangerous and unusual weapons.”
The U.S. Supreme Court has specifically singled out M16 rifles as dangerous and unusual, the counterclaim says.

Jonathan Turley, what do you think of this 2nd Amendment case…
Should you be allowed to build your own M-16 machine gun…

This falls very directly under the 3S's that govern the West.
Particularly the 'shut up' clause.
What's up in the holler stays in the holler. :whistle:

One would think it falls under weapons being equal to the military (conventional anyways).
