"1986 Gun Owners Act, Threw a big chunk of the 2nd amendment away by creating a prohibited class of weapons, called “machine guns”."

This right there is how I know you are disingenious. 95% of the 1986 firearm owners protection act was great for our second amendment freedoms. The machine gun ban (Hughes Amendment) was stuck in there by a scam voice vote at the committee level. For further info, watch this:

Your Opinion.

I work in the industry you just read the NRA propaganda.

Who authored the Hughes Amendment?

Not really as described by Mr. Farago, yes there was an issue on the committe vote,release but the bottom line is the NRA did nothing about it had ample opportunity to stop the entire thing and still has ignored it to this day. Yawn.... I guess being a machine gun is being like a former slave in Ohio around 1859 or having the name of Dred Scott. Get over it, the NRA is damaged goods and will be replaced in the near future by a real 2nd Amendment Organization. Till then enjoy.
