There are better ways of accomplishing this w/o acting like Barry. In fact theres something in the works right now all made possible by the ATF.
18 USC 922 (o) is hearby repealed.
They both agreed to it, however the Senate is run by Harry Reid which WOULD NOT entertain amendments to bills that the DEMS were shoving down our throats.
Hollis vs. Holder and Watson vs. Holder should get real interesting soon. ATF messed up by approving new Form 1 machineguns, then revoked the stamps and confiscated the weapons. These suits (and more along the way) have the potential to unravel the NFA, GCA, and 922(o).
There is also the state level route, by passing laws that protect intrastate manufactured arms, states can avoid Federal regs.
