No additional paperwork, no additional permits or qualifications. The other stuff should probably have more restrictions.

does the word infringed have any meaning at all ???

Lighten up there bud. You’re thinking about how it should be in a perfect world. I’m thinking about what we should do for STEP ONE to start getting back on track.

Baby steps.

They banned the Stryker shotgun, a revolving shot gun over to class three status years back. Yet, it was legal for years. Simply a long gun revolving shotgun, very cumbersome and slow to reload. Not capable of being converted to full auto.

The NFA'34 rules that all firearms with a bore size over 0.5" are "destructive devices" except for those deemed by the Secretary of the Treasury to be suitable for hunting or sporting purposes. Perhaps it should say those that have ever been deemed to be suitable, but it doesn't. The restrictions on "destructive devices" like the Stryker are at least consistent with statute, which is more than can be said for those on the Akins.

This may be true, in which case this follows the letter of the law, but not the intent.

It does follow the letter of the statute. It does also violate the intent. Those people in the federal government who are attacking Mr. Akins are violating the letter and intent of the law.

Two comments:

1. Approval of the device, then banning of it after such investment is made is simply immoral at best..and criminal in my book.

2. The National Firearms Act and the Gun Control Act of 1968 - one of the most Un-Constitutional pieces of trash ever perpetrated on law-abiding citizens.

Seems to be a pretty clear cut example of unlawful takings to me.
