Thumpy Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 NFA is on life support… hope by 2034 we can have it completely repealed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Zeek Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 (edited) West Virginia is considering the same bill. I'm gonna put a bug in the ear of my reps here in Texas to get our own version of this. Read through the text pretty carefully, and these bills - if passed into law - would be really cool. All the active 07/02 manufacturers would likely have plenty of business making modern police & military style machineguns (they expressly identify the M16, MP5, and M249, but leave it open to others) to sell to the states, and they in turn to the public.

MPFiveO Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 We are certainly living in interesting times. I could care less what a repeal of Hughes would do to the value of my collection. I bought them to enjoy them, not as investments. If a bill like this passed here I would just be adding to the collection. I would just need nine more M16A1's to fill up one of my empty arms room racks. Then I'd have to find another rack to fill up with A2's, and M4's and so on... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Tyson Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 We are on board here in Kentucky! Funny thing is I had to hear about this on Youtube the other night. Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark2 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Progress would be good. My guess is that this is probably a mid-term election vote grabbing stunt. We saw it before with the NFA Veterans Heritage Act, Suppresser Deregulation, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifthmdec Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Agreed. If I’m not mistaken, SB 1071 in WV, looks like it will not advance in the current session… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw it before with the NFA Veterans Heritage Act, Suppresser Deregulation, etc. The NFA Veterans Heritage Act was exactly that, a vote grabbing stunt with no real chance of passing. And people of voting age today were just being born when it was introduced in 2009. Some of us have seen this all before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 This is probably the third time around for this since I've been in it. No chance of happening, but good hits for youtube lawyers looking for subscribers. Ironically, if machine guns were federally illegal drugs or aliens a lot of states are somehow allowed to circumvent federal law? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
