Anyone else see this from west Va.   seems like things are slowly turning around

I saw this. It will be an interesting fight over time. 

What does a serial number matter? How many crimes were solved by tracing a serial number? In the end, a gun recovered at a crime scene traced back to its original owner that was probably also a victim of a crime is nice but also goofy.

once this runs through the courts I hope all the firearm manufacturers switch from a SN to a MFG date.   

Judge rules federal law banning guns with serial numbers removed is unconstitutional (msn.com)

So will this mean that banning DIYers from making guns without serial numbers will unconstitutional?   ie, they can't ban 80% lowers or 3D printed guns?

 

I've got some firearms from the 1950s manufactured without numbers.  Does that make me a criminal?

Yes, technically, under the recently passed NJ "ghost gun" law.  I'm not aware of anyone who has been prosecuted for this yet.

Very interesting development. 

 

There is another case making it was through the courts with respect to manufacturing as well.
