It's kind of odd. If I read this correctly it is still illegal to own a machine gun, but machine guns are bearable arms and therefore legal under Heller.

"Defendant Tamori Morgan is charged with two counts of possessing a machinegun in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(o). (Doc. 1.) Specifically, Defendant is charged with possessing an Anderson Manufacturing, model AM-15 .300 caliber machinegun and a machinegun conversion device. It was established at the hearing that the conversion device is a so-called “Glock switch” which allows a Glock, model 33, .357 SIG caliber firearm to fire as an automatic weapon."

"The government fails to address these facts, and thus fails to meet its burden to demonstrate that Case 6:23-cr-10047-JWB Document 35 Filed 08/21/24 Page 8 of 10possession of the types of weapons at issue in this case are lawfully prohibited under the Second Amendment. To summarize, in this case, the government has not met its burden under Bruen and Rahimito demonstrate through historical analogs that regulation of the weapons at issue in this case are consistent with the nation’s history of firearms regulation. Indeed, the government has barely tried to meet that burden."
 
It's because the government cannot. The government tested commercially available machine guns, exactly per NFA definition, in the 1790's on Alexander Hamilton's property.

They were called Chambers Flintlocks and they fired around 200 rounds in sequence with a single function of the trigger.

Doesn't really matter. Even if the plain language and reasoning suggests that the "machine guns" are allowed under Bruen and etc., there's NO inferior court (district or appeals) that would allow "machine guns" to be lawfully possessed. You would unlikely have any supreme court justice support it. Automatic weapons appear to be the bright red line that jurists are loathe to cross. Just recently, I believe it was the 4th (or 2nd) court of appeals that stated that AR15 semi-automatic rifles were not "arms" and therefore not protected against the second amendment.
Don't be fooled into thinking that the courts actually want to apply law as intended. They will only do so as THEY intend.

So, remove them from power. Take the out of their position.

I always drill the 3rd hole. I mean I get things started off with hole number one of course and then slowly move to hole number two and sometimes I accidentally drill into #3 but make no mistake I always finish there. 😂 Oh, y’all are talking about guns, my mistake.
