This petition on WhiteHouse.gov was started by some heroic American by the name of A.Z. looking to repeal the National Firearms Act of 1934. While the president has no ability to repeal laws, he sure as heck can push congress to repeal them.
This petition needs 100k signatures by February 19th to get attention from the White House. Everyone who owns a firearms or enjoys freedom should sign this immediately!

Repeal chapter 4 of GCA and the Hughes Amendment first (18 USC 922 (o).
Rather than signing a petition, which seems to be meaningless.
WRITE A LETTER.
One to each of your reps and one to the White House.
I would think that repeal of the 1986 law would be mandatory for the repeal of 1934 to be of any value, as the 1986 law bans the civilian use of class III receivers manufactured after 1986. BUT if you are LE, military, or licensed with no transfer allowed, you can participate. Effectively, the 1986 law banned machine guns, by placing an exorbintant value on them and leaving the average citizen hopelessly outgunned by the potentially tyrannical Government. The 1934 Act taxed them precipitating over time the exorbitant prices of today.

Repeal both - repeal and replace.
The new law should ban state and local governments from infringing on the individual, God-given right of the people (citizens) to keep and bear arms.

We don’t need ANOTHER ‘law’ that re-states that which already exists: The Right of the People, to keep and bear arms, shall NOT be infringed.
Actually, MGs weren’t all that expensive before the 1986 end of new registrations. It’s the scarcity of a fixed set of legal MGs, plus all the years of people buying them up as collectibles and investments, that have made them expensive...and unfortunately I’ve no doubt that many current owners of pre-86 MGs will oppose repeal of the Hughes Amendment, so as not to lose their investment.
