One other point to mention about NFA items being used in crimes. The NFA was started in 1934, So 79 years worth of NFA items have been registered. On the registry there are approximately 180,000 transferrable MACHINEGUNS, that is actually capable of full auto or burst fire. This is in addition to the hundreds of thousands of SBRs, SBSs, suppressors, destructive devices, and AOWs. Now O and the ATF want to put more restrictions on NFA weapons to help combat crime, so they say. Only problem, Is there have only been two, yes TWO murders committed with a legally registered NFA weapon by someone who was legally allowed to possess the NFA item. One was committed by a police officer, (Roger Waller) and the other by a Dr., (Dr. Shou Chao Ho). Two murders out of hundreds of thousands of weapons in 77 years!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is not what I call a crime wave, but these new laws are going to stop so many crimes. To put this in perspective, how many people have been killed with Fast and Furious guns????? Muscle

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms.

The Four Rules
1 - All firearms are always loaded. 2 - Never let the muzzle of a firearm point at anything you are not willing to destroy. 3 - Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. 4 - Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.
