NFA is on life support… hope by 2034 we can have it completely repealed.

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.

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...

We are on board here in Kentucky! Funny thing is I had to hear about this on Youtube the other night.
