But Freedom lovin’ Americans came up with money for his defense.
Video and helpful links at the article
A block of aluminum is a ‘ghost gun’ by those definitions.
Matt Hoover was charged, as was Kristopher Ervin, with selling COMPLETED machine guns
During the 1930s, crime using automatic weapons like the Thompson Sub Machine Gun and the Browning Automatic Rifle was common
No, it was not. It was the era's version of "School Shootings".
The Thompsons and BARs were very expensive and uncommon. Most used by criminals were stolen from police or national guard armories.
The media of the day made these into sensational criminal tools.
The ATF should be arresting all of those abortion activists and their hangers, as the coat hanger can be made into a lightning link easily.
I thought AR-15 receivers had a difference in machining that prevented an auto sear from being installed.

The only to protect America from Bidenwacko excess is injunctive relief immediately on the signing of an executive order
By this standard, they might as well declare rubber bands and belt loops automatic weapons.
If the presentation above is accurate, the government could equally argue that a stack of scrap metal in my garage might machine itself into an autosear. Therefore the heap of raw metal is a machine gun, no other parts needed. OMG, millions of people are keeping machine guns in their garages and workshops!
ATF needs to be laughed out of court.

Great informative article. Thanks for posting.
Perhaps of interest.
Isn’t this close to a First Amendment issue as well as a Second Amendment issue? If the government went after someone who distributed a gif image of an autosear, nobody would hesitate to call that a first amendment issue. Etch the same image into a piece of aluminum instead and distribute it ... ?
i’m pretty sure any ‘machine gun’ would fall under the category of a ‘weapon’ which would be protected by the 2nd amendment.
what justification do they have for limiting my ability to own/use such a weapon? seems if they arrest me for owning (or just advertising) such a weapon, that would obviously be an infringement of my 2nd amendment rights.
how am i wrong here?
If the machine gun ban is overturned, the people will buy literally millions of then in a month.
The government will have no choice but to behave.
May of… laughing

Go straight to You Tube. Now I understand how the thing works.
First, the BATFE is clearly acting lawlessly on the basis of both the 1st Amendment and the separation of powers (delegation doctrine). An etched aluminum card is virtually indistinguishable from a PDF print to scale transparency and is not a finished part. So the courts will have no reason to reach back to the whole NFA.
Second, the courts will rule that full-auto weapons are "unusual and dangerous," and therefore subject to regulation just like destructive devices and artillery. I happen to think that's a crock of bull, but even the Bruen majority is unlikely to back off on that.
