I don’t know whether to be disgusted, amazed or just dismayed at so many comments claiming We will never accept/comply with this latest proposed infringement of our RKBA!
But I’ve seen countless post on this forum claiming the NFA-34 act which made it virtually impossible for most Americans to legally own machine guns (Until inflation made the $200.00 Tax less of a burden) is just fine!
I realize most here grew up with the constant propaganda that “Machine-guns and silencers are only used by criminals, they have no legitimate use for law abiding citizens”. (Except the military and police of course!)
Hey, Hollywood has made thousands of movies to “Prove” this as a “Fact”.
But NOW we are going to stand up to Gov. Org and resist at all cost?
History is a lesson board, some need to read up and think a bit harder.
Gov. has been down this road before, they empowered another alphabet agency to “Enforce” the NFA-34 “Law”.
So for the this Dork’s plan the enforcement agency and mechanisms are already in place!
An addendum that will get me flamed and perhaps banned.
But think about this.
If Trump can “Direct” ATF to change the legal definition of an accessory without scientific basis or action by congress, as is the case with the “Bump-Stock Ban”.
Then all Butt-O has to do as Pres. is make a similar demand to ATF and all semi-auto’s become machine-guns!
ATF has been “Enforcing” the MG “laws” for decades.
We might want to remember what happened to several Americans leading up to the FOPA-86.
Hint, yes, people WERE shot in their beds by ATF goons!
I've seen mostly the opposite.
Maybe people feel like banning Civilian Replicas of 70 year old Infantry Weapons is a bridge too far.
