Tenth Amendment Center: Medical Firearm “Silencers” in Missouri? New Bill Sets the Stage

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center JEFFERSON CITY , Mo. (Jan. 7, 2018) – A bill prefiled in the Missouri House would allow people with a medical waiver to possess firearm sound suppressors, partially nullifying some federal regulations in practice and effect. Rep. Ron Hicks (R-Dardenne Prairie) filed House Bill 302 ( HB302 ) on Dec. 18. Under the proposed law, persons with significant hearing loss could legally possess a firearm sound suppressor, commonly referred to as a silencer. Any person with a written certificate from a licensed medical doctor, otologist, or neurotologist attesting that the person has significant hearing loss and that a firearm silencer would be beneficial to preserve the person’s remaining hearing could legally possess a firearm sound suppressor under state law. Currently, Missouri enforces federal regulations on firearm sound suppressors by making their possession in violation of federal law a state crime. Passage of HB302 would end all state enforcement of fe...

...from Tenth Amendment Center PROVIDENCE , R.I. (Jan. 10, 2019) – A bill introduced in the Rhode Island House would prohibit “roadway surveillance,” including the use of automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) without a warrant in most situations. Passage into law would also place significant roadblocks in the way of a federal program using states to help track the location of millions of everyday people through pictures of their license plates.

Tenth Amendment Center: Hamilton: The Liar

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center Republicans unveiled their tax plan in September to mixed reviews. That was to be expected. It hasn’t gotten any better in recent weeks. Americans generally want lower taxes. They also want the Republican Party to do  something  they promised while begging for votes. Let’s not ask for too much. One called on the Rush Limbaugh Show in late September suggested that people read  Federalist  No. 21 to understand why taxes should be lowered. Hamilton, this caller said, showed us the light. Limbaugh joked that he rapped it. Either way, here is Hamilton entering another modern debate. There is  now an app for that , unfortunately. Hamilton proposed in  Federalist  No. 21 that “indirect” taxes, meaning tariffs, should be used more extensively than direct because direct taxes created substantial problems for an economy. The modern income tax is a direct tax. Except we shouldn’t listen to Hamilton. He didn’t mean it. Less t...
