NFA is the law requiring extremely tight registration, including a $200 tax on transfers, of “sawed off shotguns”, silencers, short barreled rifles, destructive devices (big guns), and the few remaining legal machineguns.
There is a viable theory that the Obama will issue an Executive Order to force “assault weapons”, if not all semiautomatics, into that category. You’ll be able to keep your guns, but they will be subject to very strict monitoring and scrutiny - an untenable position for most people, who presumably would rather give up the guns than adhere to the hyper strict law.
This is akin to the Obama’s current plan destroying the coal industry.
The hope here is that maybe, just maybe, there is wording in this odd part of Obamacare which could invalidate NFA by forbidding any law requiring gun registration. I’m skeptical this is the case, but it’s sure worth a shot. Such an invalidation would scuttle the predicted EO abusing NFA, and in great irony make considerably more dangerous guns perfectly legal without hassle.
It’s worth a shot.
Thank you.
