It sounds like the ATF has found a way to ban all firearms.Just make a claim they can easily be converted to fully automatic weapons.

That would maybe work if in fact full auto was a banned product but it's not. Anybody can possess a full auto so called machine gun if they possess the proper TAX STAMP for a paltry $200 from the BATFE. It's not even a permit per se but has the same effect as one for the hoops you have to jump through to obtain the tax stamp. These have been greatly lessened by the BATFE in allowing a document to be substituted in place of a person in the form of a CLASS III FIREARMS TRUST. Now you can have an attorney establish such a trust for full auto and or suppressors and the Bureau investigates the TRUST rather than the person holding the trust. Sounds stupid, but it works. You can lawfully own up to a .50 BMG belt fed weapon this way. Mike Dillon of Dillon Precision, the company that revolutionized the hobby of ammo reloading, has an electric minigun (helicopter mounted) and an electric QUAD 50 the operator sits inside to fire. Good thing his company specializes in selling reloading ammo machines, huh? Of course once you've paid the gov't it's $200 for the stamp you still have to shell out another $30K for the weapon itself. Then you have to pay to feed the beast. Suppressors are less at around $800 each.

That is probably what they are working towards.
Get the public to believe toys can be converted into guns and they have won half the battle.
