- [Testimonials](https://gunrights.org/testimonials/): Testimonials
- [NFA FAQ](https://gunrights.org/nfa-faq/): Gun control at the Federal level in the USA is a 20th century creation. The first broad Federal gun control law in the USA was called the National Firearms Act, enacted in 1934. It was loosely modeled on gun control laws enacted in Great Britain after World War I. In 1938 a second law, the Federal Firearms Act was passed. Broadly speaking, the NFA created controls on certain firearms that Congress claimed were the preferred tools of gangsters. The law was based on Congress’ enumerated taxing power under the Constitution. At the time the general legal thought was that the Federal government had limited powers under the Constitution, and one power it lacked was the general police power, a power that was left to the states. Therefore the NFA was modeled as a tax law, on the Federal anti-drug laws that were also premised on taxing narcotics, to create a de-facto ban. The U.S. Supreme Court had already upheld the drug laws, so the drafters of the NFA figured structuring the gun ban as a “tax” would also insulate it from a claim that banning guns was outside the enumerated powers of Congress.
- [Red Flag Gun Confiscation](https://gunrights.org/red-flag-gun-confiscation/): “Red Flag” gun confiscation bills call for legally owned firearms to be forcibly confiscated from law-abiding Americans without due process, based on unsubstantiated accusations from disgruntled family members, neighbors, co-workers, and/or current or ex-romantic partners, or roommates. Sometimes branded as “Extreme Risk Protection Orders” (ERPOs) or “Gun Violence Restraining Orders,” (GVRO’s) these laws rely on the issuing of ex-parte (one-sided) orders authorizing law enforcement, including SWAT teams, to immediately seize firearms from the subject of the order without notification or right to an attorney. In other words: Gun Confiscation without due process. In the 116th Congress, S. 7, by U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, authorizes a federal grant program to fund state-level adoption of “Red Flag” gun confiscation laws. S.S06 by Senator Dianne Feinstein authorizes a grant program as well as a federally-enforceable “Red Flag” gun confiscation law. In the wake of the El Paso and Dayton attacks, Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Richard Blumenthal have taken the lead on re-drafting their “Red Flag” legislation (S.2521) from the 115th Congress. Currently, 17 states and the District of Columbia have “Red Flag” laws on the books. None of these state’s laws respect due process or the presumption of innocence. Instead, the laws entirely neglect due process altogether, a true “take the guns first” form of gun confiscation. The National Association for Gun Rights expects all pro-gun members of the U.S. House and Senate to join us in opposing this type of gun confiscation.
