Better than 99% of NFA transfers are suppressors and short barreled rifles. The number of full auto weapons transferred is miniscule because the Hughes Amendment ended the productioj of full auto civilian firearms. To play in that venue now is prohibitively expensive. The article talking about “loopholes” to buy machine guns is designed to induce fear and panic in the uneducated minds that make up the majority of society. This is just more of the piss poor unprofessional “journalism” we are forced to bear these days.

Yep, the Hughes Amendment to FOPA. Why is it that laws passed seem to always do the opposite of what their title claims?

Championed by none other than that moron Dick Metcalf who wrote for Guns and Ammo and was recently forced to resign out of shame and embarrassment. Well, that's how I like to think of it...He may not have been behind the amendment, but the bill was still the vehicle for infringing upon our rights.
