Am I correct that while the 1934 NFA was based on the power of taxation, the 1968 GCA and the 1986 FOPA amendment were based on the interstate commerce power?

Rock Island says that if you're going to tax something, you have to actually tax it, not prohibit it or make up a whole bunch of extra rules which have nothing to do with the collection of the tax.
"Kill all the lawyers" was quite obviously a joke.
Hey Jim, I'd be real interested to read any info about Homer from the time period. Seems to me info like that should be spread far and wide.
The question of where the line is at which the Court would hold that the Commerce Clause theory starts to take effect is unanswered.
In sum, since enactment of 18 U.S.C. § 922(o), the Secretary has refused to accept any tax payments to make or transfer a machinegun made after May 19, 1986, to approve any such making or transfer, or to register any such machinegun. As applied to machineguns made and possessed after May 19, 1986, the registration and other requirements of the National Firearms Act, Chapter 53 of the Internal Revenue Code, no longer serve any revenue purpose, and are impliedly repealed or are unconstitutional. Accordingly, Counts 1(a) and (b), 2, and 3 of the superseding indictment are DISMISSED.
