(2,117 posts)the 1st paragraph, i hope you have a good lawyer.
Do you realize the HUGE number of applications that will hit the ATF if we did this.
to you realize the nra has been porking the batf for, oh, 35 years or so, and they use CARDBOARD BOXES for records.
so, yeah, maybe actually funding and using the batf might be a good idea.
WE WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO BE INCONVENIENCED IN THE SLIGHTEST WHILE BUYING MACHINE GUNS !!!

thet went down ~150 investigators from 2009-2010.
kinda seems their budget is about .5% percent of the nra's.
So my children, and nieces and nephews are not going to be given the freedom I have? I am all about passing down the freedoms I have to the future, hopefully with a better society attached to them.
you have frikkin' machine guns for fuck's sake. there are 30,000+ plus in virginia, 15,000+ in AZ.
and a wait for some form that your own nra's BS is causing is your reason for 'my freedom'?
i don't get it
and I totally under stan how to those outside it sounds like mil-speak or even sinister, as most technobabble does.
there, we can agree.
check this out-
i think the whole AW craze happened because of the 1st gulf war. that's where the interest started, and the gun makers have just run with it because the profits were slowing down.
if the nra had, instead of blocking all gun regs, made AR-type weapons more like your tommy guns as far as regs.
instead of dismantling the batf and blocking gun research, they could have helped make a system that WORKS, like they actually did with the NFA and your tommies.
get it?
we are arguing over the mil/civil boundaries, i guess?
if i was going to 'pass on' something to my kids, i'd want something old-fashioned and COOL, like a rem. .222 or classic 30-.06
but i'm not a gun bunny!
