Welcome to FR.
No, this is NOT a good thing.
It will be 'reinterpreted', just like all the other bills measures and addendums.
Wanna try to tell me OTHERWISE?
Look, before Richard explained what the bill did, you were railing against it and had *NO IDEA WHAT IT DID*. Not only no idea, but you believed it did something almost completely opposite of what it DOES do.
Our rights were taken away by incrementialism (Fabianism) and that is OUR BEST STRATEGY for getting them back.
THE BILL IS A GOOD THING. Of course I'd love to see the machinegun registry re-opened to EVERYONE but every little thing we can do is good. This bill was written by OUR SIDE, FOR US.
You clearly still do not understand the CONTEXT of the bill, which self limits it's scope.
It is an EXCELLENT bill, not nearly as open and far reaching as I would like, but a great start of cleaning up the NFRTR mess.
Darksheare, your position on this issue screams how little you actually know.
THIS IS AN *A M N E S T Y* allowing people who are in posession of machineguns that are already illegal to register them in accordance with the NFA.
You haven't made a single compelling argument yet.
All you do is scream the sky is falling with your "It Will Be Reinterpreted" nonsense when you don't understand what it means.
Tell ya what.
Explain to me how this bill might be somehow used against gun owners.
Explain to me- using the details of the law and the existing amnesty- how this might be...
You won't, because you can't. Because you don't understand this law, and instead of admiting that you were incorrect when you first commented on it (due to your own poor comprehension skills) you are carrying on, saying that this bill which is a GOOD THING isn't.
I own rifles, I own shotguns, I own pistols and revolvers, I own fully-automatic weapons that most people on this board wouldn't even believe are legal, even if I showed them my paperwork.
I am as pro-gun as they come, and I support this bill because I *understand* this bill, which you are apparently too stupid to do.
