Very weak Original Complaint for such a big issue.
GOA has been waiting for years to file this lawsuit. They were smart to limit their complaint strictly to the removal of the tax. If they challenge the NFA on the broader second amendment grounds and lose, we wind up in a worse place than if they hadn't filed at all.
Personally I want to see someone sue the state of Texas for taxing firearms and ammunition on the grounds that since the right to keep and bare arms was declared an individual right in Heller, taxation is now an infringement on individual rights.
But I suspect that is the next step with constitutional carry being the last step in restoring the Second Amendment.
