If government takes you to court over having an unregistered gun, there are several things to do to win:
1. Don't use an attorney, and don't represent yourself. Simply be present;
2. Just because the indictment has a name like yours on it, doesn't mean that it is your name. It may be a fictional person, and absolutely is fictional if you stand unrepresented. Find out who they are really talking to.
3. If they come after you anyway, you have a right to face your accuser. Get the prosecutor or others on the stand and ask them if they have any ownership of your property. Also, if the accuser on the indictment is a government name, require this person to get on the stand so you can question it. They can't do this. If they don't dismiss (discharge)...
4. It is not a gun. Don't tell them that it is a gun. It is simply your property, and you have the right to determine what your property is... it's your property. Period;
5. Don't speak much (if at all) in court. Do your testimonies in writing. Always require that they present everything they say in writing, with lots of time for you to give a written answer;
6. If the judge givers you an order - like to plead - ask him if it is an order. If it isn't an order, he is not requiring you to do anything. If it is an order, invoice him in the amount of your choice for following your 'employer's' order;
7. Never go back on anything you say, especially money deals you might make with the court. What you say is your word. Don't make your word to have two or more meanings. This will disqualify what you say, and you will lose.
Biden's Gun Control Backfires After Fifth Circuit Ruling: Ghost Guns Legal Once More
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/bidens-gun-control-backfires-after-fifth-circuit-ruling-ghost-guns-legal-once-moreThis ruling allows Defense Distributed, Blackhawk Manufacturing Group (incorporated, doing business as 80 Percent Arms), Second Amendment Foundation (incorporated; Not An LLC, doing business as JSD Supply), and Polymer80 the ability to continue selling unfinished gun parts or 80% receivers legally -- a significant blow to President Biden's war on ghost guns.
Previously, US District Judge Reed O'Connor granted a motion for summary judgment against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) because the agency exceeded its authority. This judgment vacated the entire rule nationwide.
The Federal Government's response to that judgment was to request a stay, essentially a continuance of the status quo until the case ends. Today's decision denied that stay, with the court stating:
"Because the ATF has not demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits, nor irreparable harm in the absence of a stay, we DENY the government's request to stay the vacatur of the two challenged portions of the Rule."
This is the third time the 5th Circuit has nullified an executive order by President Biden to usher in gun control. Notable cases, such as GOA v. Garland, Mock v. Garland and Cargill v. Garland, have stopped the enforcement of Biden's "Frame or Receiver" rule.
Defense Distributed had this to say about the favorable ruling:
"The 5th Circuit knows the ATF will not succeed on the merits. This rule was never the result of the popular will, but was instead a cynical ploy to launder Bloomberg gun control priorities through the APA rulemaking process as a reward for gun controllers supporting the Biden campaign in 2020."
