Judge Napolitano is one of the few commentators who really understands what is going on with Gun Control. In his latest book,
Lies the Government Told You, Lie #6 deals specifically with the subject of Gun Control. He goes into the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the
Miller decision in greater detail than almost anyone I have read, but leaves out a couple of critical details: Miller, the codefendant in the case, was murdered under mysterious circumstances before the case reached the Supreme Court; and
the Supreme Court never affirmed the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act of 1934, but rather remanded the case to the district court for further evidentiary proceedings. When it got there, the surviving defendant, Frank Layton, obligingly pleaded guilty in exchange for a sentence of five years probation,
a plea he and Jack Miller attempted to enter when they were first indicted, before they were talked out of it by the Federal Judge. This is the basis for all the so-called "authority" for the Federal Government to regulate and thus infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.
My case,
Hamblen vs the United States, http://www.esnips.com/web/HamblenvsUnitedStates, is attempting to make the Supreme Court apply the
Miller decision to the NFA of 1934, or explain publicly why it is no longer valid.
