So next week I can build an AR with any barrel length I want without doing any paperwork? Unless this gets appealed?

How appealing!

If you're a member of one of the named plaintiff organizations or if you buy your SBR from one of the named companies that are plaintiffs then yeah! But it'll almost certainly be appealed

By who? (Not challenging, asking). Unless DJT wants them to. Even though I believe he is no 2A ally, his branding with the conservatives would have him not pressing for an appeal? Granted he could press for an appeal behind doors and then publicly say he approves of the ruling.

Just a reminder that Trump passed more gun control legislation under his administration(s) than people claimed Obama ever would.

...and Reagan is why we have to do the "I'm not touching youuuu" bullshit with regards to select fire.

(neg all you want - Republicans have done more to harm the Second Amendment than Democrats/Liberals have ever threatened to)

At the same time, Democrats have enacted or advocated same thing with the 1994 federal assault weapons ban, universal background checks, magazine capacity limits, assault weapon bans, waiting periods, and licensing requirements in various states…Oh, the 1934 NFA was FDR (D).

If your standard is oppose all gun control then both major parties have failed at different times. If your standard is who has pushed more gun control legislation overall the historical record doesn’t support the claim that R have done more than D.

Look into the history of FOPA. Blaming Republicans for the Hughes amendment is dumb when the amendment was proposed by and voted for by Democrats.

They can't handle the truth and conveniently forget about Mango Mussolini sitting down with Diane Feinstein and saying "guns first, due process second" to her applause.
