Ever heard of the National Firearms Act of 1934?

I have, and I knew that, I just forgot.

In theory, it's perfectly legal to own sawed-off shotguns and fully-automatic firearms if you purchase the required stamp.

However, purchasing the stamp is an open invitation to the BATF to send a SWAT team to your house at any time.

However, purchasing the stamp is an open invitation to the BATF to send a SWAT team to your house at any time.

And if you do not buy the stamp, it is an open invitation for the BATF to send a SWAT team to you home (compound) and start shooting with those same weapons. Do you remember an incident in Waco Texas that occurred about 10 years ago. The lack of a $200 tax stamp was the prime reason for the search warrant (to look for a gun that might have required that tax stamp).

It's what they'll do to guns someday.

The Marijuana Tax Stamp Act was modeled directly on the Machine Gun Tax Stamp Act. Basically the practice was this: require the Tax Stamp, but refuse to issue it.
