Wow. Remind me to hang on to my copy.

One way or another, the Hughes Amendment is going away.

I wish that it would. The thing is unconstitutional based on Miller - getting someone to testify as to the utility to the militia of a full auto firearm would be a no-brainer, and also under Heller because it outlaws an entire class of weapons. Further, this ban doesn't even pass the Rational Basis test, given the impossibility of proving that a full auto manufactured on May 18, 1986 is permissible to own or transfer, but that a functionally-identical full auto manufactured on the same assembly line on May 20, 1986 isn't because it is unusually dangerous or a threat to national security (or any of the other BS arguments used by the hoplophobes). The law stinks every way that you look at it, from the method of its passage to its meaning to the methods of enforcement (even for technical violations). Yet, it lives. Hopefully, that will change soon.

I'd love to read that book, but the going rate (Amazon - new around $250, used around $150) is out of my range.

My copy, which I loaned out, never made it back from a friend's house (flooded).

There are downloadable .pdf copies around, just do a web search.

interesting.

Yep.

Now look at it in context of what the Dems are doing in the US Senate, again, and in the various Dem controlled States.

Operating on the exact same “damn the rules, push the agenda” modus operandi.

This is outright CRIMINAL. Almost 30 years of this since that Hughes vote and the GOP has done very little to stop them.
