So, the $10,000 question (actually $60.00 in parts From Bushmaster and a drift punch) is, Could a USSC decision in favor of Emmerson cause the repeal of the NFA?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if the Swiss can have full auto, so should I.
In response to your $60.00 question or $10,000.00 question depending on your relationship to your local Batmen I would venture that a fair reading of the Second Ammendment would guarntee the individual right to own anything up to heavy artillery. I doubt this will be implemented and I would say a minimalist interpretation of the individual right would include at least the right to own M16's, SAW's, M2's, and of course sidearms and shotguns since all are standard issue in the infantry. As to the heavier weapons it is not against the law to own cannon and rocket launchers per se. Clearly the private companies that manufacture nuclear weapons own them during their liscensed manufacture. Further anyone who can affird their own H-Bomb is going to get one way or the other so I fail to understand how simply making them illegalk serves anyone.
