One major change to the NFA came in 1968, when the minimum legal barrel length for rifles was dropped form 18 inches to 16 inches. Why? Because the government had already sold a quarter million M1 Carbines - with illegally-short barrels - to private citizens, thus rendering them all felons. Instead of trying to enforce a clearly irrational law, Congress reduced the barrel length stipulation.
With this issue once again coming to a head over pistol braces, it is time to finally solve the problem and end this nonsense. Short barreled rifles and short barreled shotguns (and AOWs) should be removed from the NFA entirely. Their regulation is a waste of law enforcement's time and a massive bureaucratic burden on individual citizens, who are faced with felony convictions and 10 year prison sentences for utterly harmless actions.
MONEY/TAX
ReplyDeleteThere is No Other Intelligent reason.
The $200.00 for the tax stamp is nothing to a government which is 30+ Trillion in debit, it is strictly a matter of CONTROL!
DeleteYeah, gotta read and understand your history.
DeleteAt the time it was enacted, 200 bucks was a lot of money. A LOT of money. I.e. only rich and wealthy would reasonably be able to afford it. The law was classist, intended to separate the rich from the poor.
SBSs, SBRs and suppressors need to be removed from the NFA.
ReplyDeleteAnd as long as your shotgun or rifle is longer than Clyde Barrow's whippet, you should be good to go.
Machine guns, submachine guns, cannons, howitzers, mortars and tanks should also be removed if my understanding of the Constitution and it's intent are correct. But hey, what do I know?
DeleteIt is time to get rid of the FBI and the ATF and all gun laws.
ReplyDeleteNFA, GCA need to be abolished period. Stop playing into their hands by trying to negotiate and compromise. Do. Not. Comply.
ReplyDeleteDon’t forget the NRA and the all the other I needs your money to defeet these bills.
DeleteSave the “dues and sticker” money for you and yours. No one’s coming to save you. It’s just. Us.
CIII
The gov't doesn't want you to have any fun, hates you, wants you dead and unable to fight back.
ReplyDeleteAfter it squeezes you dry.
I have three shovels. One has a long straight handle, one has a mid-length T-handle, and one has a short stirrup handle. Which one should be banned or regulated?
ReplyDeleteThe short-handled, easily concealed, folding blade Assault Shovel. That serrated edge blade is especially scary! No civilian needs a shovel designed for war!/s
DeleteI hate seeing people who claim to be intelligent making arguments about gun control. They're clearly too stupid to be involved, don't get sucked into their trap by debating any of it.
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd ammendment, places restrictions on the government, not on its citizens. Get your fucking head around that! You're fighting the argument backwards!
YOU are able to legally own anything, until you allowed the government to restrict your rights with a "common sense gun control law".
All gun control laws are an infringement and thus unconstitutional, and illegal.
Yet dumb fucks go down the road every day dicking about barrel length, magazine capacity, fore end grips, stabilizing braces... and then they agree to concede point A in the hopes these vermin will be appeased with a drum mag ban and leave you alone. You just gave up ground in the fight, and you will never ever get it back.
Listen closely dumbfucks: THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE.... SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
You, You alone, are allowing your government to write AND ENFORCE laws that conflict with your God given right to defend your life, liberty, and prosperity. Stop it. The government has no right to restrict your ownership of any type of weapon. Stop giving in an inch at a time, thats what they are doing, 1000 cuts, one at a timez you are giving in to what they want, then they twist and manipulate it into areas never imagined!
Shall not be infringed. Stop right there, give not one inch more.
You must be talking about the NRA because I don't know a single fucking person that comes to this site and supports any kind of gun control at all.
DeleteI do. Don't point it at things you don't want to destroy. Keep it pointed downrange at the range. Hit what you aim at. And if it recoils hard enough, use both hands. That's it.
DeleteEasy fix is to eliminate the ATF and allow individual states to govern their own. My opinion based on the book Black Rifle Wars.
ReplyDeleteThe NFA is unconstitutional and must be repealed.
ReplyDeleteGreat info!
