IMHO, that was one of the foundational reasons for the NFA.

Rather informative video, IMHO. Worth a watch. Of course, it is one man’s opinion but makes sense to me.

Should'a made 'em in 7.62.

That was Eugene Stoner's original idea. It was called the AR-10. Came out just too late to really catch on. US had already gone with the M14, rest of the free world had already gone with some variant of the FN-FAL.

Democrat showmanship. “We are really concerned.” Tee hee hee. Not enough to put criminals behind bars, clean up crime in big cities, and keep lawless immigrants from crossing the border. What a bunch of phonies. They raise money to defend rioters and fail to prosecute those who burn, loot, and kill.

I propose a 1000% excise tax on abortions. It’s for the children, of course.

If the Democrats get their way the drug cartels will start smuggling guns into America and the criminals will be fully armed. Citizens will be at the mercy of criminals and the cartels will get richer.

>>I’m going to contact My Senators and House representatives and ask them to present a Bill that imposes a 200,000,000.00% Tax on stupid bills

I would argue for a revival of the Locrian custom instead.

People are avoiding the current 11% excise tax by buying pieces and assembling rifles themselves.

Those twenty-five $hitstain RATS are the reason the public needs semi-automatic rifles.

“It’s bull crap. The courts have ruled that a tax must have raising revenue as it’s principal objective. It cannot be a tax if it’s purpose is to prevent a specific commercial activity.”

It seems they have been getting away with it since the 1930s, so I wouldn’t bank on “The courts” ruling.

Many say that the 16th Amendment was never ratified.

I never paid much attention to ARs before a few years ago, I had many, many guns before that and the only synthetic stocks I had were on high end bolt action rifles and one pump shotgun.

I own a tool and die business, and one of my buddies who runs finished parts out of his shop came to me with some questions on programming for uppers and lowers. He had a guy move in next to him who is a former SEAL who was having rails made decided to get into making them himself rather than jobbing it out. This was during Obama’s reign and sales were sky high.

I got into helping him, with with programming and mostly fixturing, and I watched him go from a single Haas machining center to now a full dozen CNCs and just selling everything before it’s even made. I’ll show him this today when I go see him and I know what I’ll see, him reading the headline and just start grinning. He is all AR-15s currently but I’ve got billet and forging fixtures on the machine for him now for making AR-10s, and since he now makes all his own bolt carrier groups complete he is going to be just printing money from that place.
