Wasn’t it Reagan who signed the bill that limited us to only owning machine guns manufactured before 1986? That’s why the price of privately owned machine guns is through the roof.
German MP40 comes in 9mm (WWII)
****** “Is the good (bad) Sheriff subject to citizen arrest?” ******
If he is or isn’t ... he is an Elected Official, the Ballot Box is the Trump Card and his fellow Sheriffs may be able to shame him into re-thinking his actions. He does not live in a vacuum, (cannot operate independently) the hill that he chose to die for may be a valley.
JMHO
TT
Pretty sure the Uzi is 9mm.
All he needs to do is set up a trust that owns the class III. No Sheriff signature required.
Actually quite common to do it.
Then he doesn’t own it.
An abstract concept has more rights than he does.
Just about everything you said just isn’t so, and never has been so.
There’s no license to own a machine gun or any other NFA-restricted firearm, and you don’t surrender your Fourth Amendment rights. It’s a one-time tax of between $5 and $200.
Its no big deal. Worst part is the wait for the ATF tech branch to finally get to your paperwork, but I’ve had stamped forms come back in as little as 28 days.
In the context of this article, my local sheriff will sign any ATF form you push in front of his secretary.
I think most transferable machine guns are 9mm. It’s a long list of models.
Putting your boot on peoples' necks is so much more convenient when you don't have to ask them to vote for you. Government is best when it's UNaccountable??? It's barely acceptable when they ARE afraid they're going to get the boot. Moron. Fool. Oxygen thief.
Those are sub-machine guns. Maybe I’m being too technical, but I don’t believe in giving journalists a pass.
What?
There are Uzi’s chambered for 9MM...
Sure, and when the Gub'ment decides it wants to inspect your weapons that are registered and you decide to not let them will they say: "Oh yeah you got Rights under the 4th Amendment, never mind...?"
Dream on Alice, Wonderland is just around the corner!
He needs to set up an NFA trust. This gets around fools like this sheriff. Anyone dabbling in Class 3 should be doing it through an NFA trust.
I should clarify: I think most transferable ‘machine guns’ (as the ATF regards the term) in the NFRTR are 9mm.
I have no idea what I said either.
I think I might have been saying that while at a gun show in Georgia, I helped a friend who was a dealer and had several tables.
He was over run with sales so I took an hour or so off and helped him out. While I was there he sold a fully automatic Tommy Gun. I was struck as just how quickly it went. Of course filling out the forms was just the start. I have no idea what went on from there or when the guy actually got his gun.
Anyone even remotely serious about NFA has searched for how to properly buy one and would have easily noticed that a trust is the only way to do it as it bypasses the local fuzzballs and protects a person beyond mere possession.
Yes, technically he doesn’t own it, but he gets to use it (with the same restrictions) as if he technically “owned it”. More disturbing, is the fact that the Fed Gov thinks that you don’t wholey own any firearms that has been manufactured or transfered with a 4473. They think they own them and they are just loaning them to you. Ever notice when the leftist members in Congress start talking about making certain “assault weapons” illegal and requiring them to be turned in. In the verbiage of the proposed law and in discussions they often use the term “revert” back to the government.
There are a bunch of 9mm weapons that fire in full automatic to include the world famous UZI.
In the early 1980s, it was “so” in the State of New Mexico, in Otero County.
To legally own a full auto, one had to first obtain a Dealer level FFL which at the time, cost $200.00 per year.
