Supreme Court gun ruling cited in bid to dismiss machine-gun indictment

A fresh U.S. Supreme Court gun-rights ruling should make a 78-year-old law regulating machine guns unconstitutional and invalidate a YouTube celebrity’s gun-crime indictment with an Orange Park man, his lawyers are arguing.

Lawyers for Matthew Hoover, a Wisconsin gun dealer whose YouTube channel has 148,000 subscribers, have asked U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales Howard to dismiss his January indictment with Clay County FL resident Kristopher Ervin, who was charged last year with selling illegal machine-gun conversion equipment online.

Hoover’s lawyers asked Howard last week to rule that the National Firearms Act, a 1934 law that restricted machine gun ownership by creating a tax and license requirement on them, conflicts with the U Constitution's Second Amendment guarantee of a right to bear arms.

They argued the law violates a standard the Supreme Court used last month to decide a New York law on gun ownership was unconstitutional, so the federal law must be unconstitutional too.

when it comes to mass shootings. Mass shooters need a portable CIWS; that way we can have mass shootings with hundreds of victims.

The Supreme Court will even get the NRA to blush.
