This is going to be hilarious. You know, if the ATF cared about the law and stuffs.

tl;dr: Trusts aint people, only people are banned from post 86 MGs.

This is extremely interesting...and check out the comments. I followed the comments to this website: http://imgur.com/a/vt2Qz

On page 6, there's a questions of whether a NICS check is required when you buy an NFA item and the answer is "no" - which conflicts with the answer presented in the original blog post. I still don't understand why I needed to pass a NICS check after the BATFE spent a year checking me out and processing my tax stamp.

New executive orders, en route!

The volley gun question/answer is a new one to me.

Me too. I guess if you consider 3 bullets fired at the exact same time as one "shot" or "volley" then it still fits with the idea of "one trigger pull, one shot."

The NFA and GCA need to be completely rewritten...what a mess.

There we go.



I hate to be the "outlier" in gun control debates... Because I want everyone to think like me.

I think the 2A should be defined once and forever- in such a way as to ensure that the civilian population can never be less well armed than the foot soldier (Infrantryman) or law enforcement personnel.
That WAS the intent of the 2nd Amendment, and part of the US Government's argument in the 1939 case United States v Miller http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Miller



Here's what I think the NFA and GCA act should be "amended" to :

The Natural Right of The People to purchase, sell, keep, and bear arms shall never be taxed, regulated, "permitted" or infringed in any way that may impede free persons from being equally well-armed as any Infrantryman or domestic Law Enforcement personnel. Any such infringement or regulation is in direct opposition to a free society's Right to self-defense and is a sign of lurking tyranny.

Sorry if it's not polished, just off the top of my head.

I am following the Esq. who wrote the blog... I like his thinking.
I'd say "let's run with this" but I want to win- I don't want another letter coming out of ATF that essentially writes more law.

Abolish and redo in the original spirit of the Supreme Law of the Land, the US Constitution.

I feel you on that, man...it's just not going to happen. The point of my original post was that we would see a vast improvement in terms of us enjoying the freedoms we still have, if they would just eliminate all of the BATFE letter writing crap and get it all squared away, so there was no ambiguity.

With that said - I dig your citizen = LEO = infantry in terms of allowable firearms. It's very righteous and jives with all of the reading I've done (Constitution, original intent of the framers, SCOTUS cases, etc.).
