ATF being sued over approving legal machine guns

Donation accomplished and will donate again for a worthy cause.

Yes they-ATF stated a trust was not a person so a bunch of folks submitted form 1 to build a "new machine gun" and were approved but the ATF back pedaled and changed approved forms to disapproved forms. They requested the approved stamps back they had mailed out and updated "approved" e-filed forms to "disapproved".

The ATF has waffled back and forth since its inception 1886 and its subsequent update in 1920 (prohibition-Volstead act). Dependent on the administration/leadership it has changed priorities. They continue to update ATF 4473 which is the controversy of why it would be illegal to "buy" another qualified person legal to own a firearm with that person's money but not to "buy" and give it to them.

It was never illegal to transfer a firearm to another law abiding person legal to possess a firearm until the ATF "updated" their form. But when you're the ATF your word and policy tends to be treated as law.

"Numerous... trustees submitted Form 1 applications to build new machine guns [and] ATF approved the applications and sent out stamps," the explanation continued. "ATF began calling trustees that received stamps demanding that they be returned, or in the case of eForms, updating their online status from Approved to Disapproved. Those that were called were told they had to return the stamp." [See embedded video, above]

“We have the avenue to attack both the machine gun ban and the NFA with the BATFE's recent approval of a number of Form 1s,” Stamboulieh advised on his GoFundMe page. “I have a number of clients that I will be filing a lawsuit on behalf of to seek to overturn the ban and the NFA in different states.”

Don't give me any ideas... I already saw the auto sear.. :spy:

I would be interested to see what the laws would be when it came to building your own drop in auto sear or lightning link .

I know these would be pricey to feed, but I still want one. I probably would only use full auto occasionally. It's just knowing I got one that would be cool.

Same. Want one just to have one.
 
I thought we were all "gun guys" on this forum. I just don't get all the negativity and defeat before the battle begins. I see all the Moan Loab symbols everywhere and the clever sayings in signature panels, but when it's time to fight, I see a lot of white flags!

Let's sand up and fight as a group! The more support we have, the louder the message. If you don't want to fight then fine, but don't bring everybody else down with your defeatist attitude!

I keeps it real....stop blowin smoke up everyones ass like this is actually gonna work if you send this dude your hard earned money.

why do you take your negativity somewhere else? People can choose to donate to something they believe in all they want no one needs your approval
 
Just ignore this retard. The list of dumb **** he has said on this site is a mile long. Arguing with him is like arguing with a toddler. The best thing to do is to ignore him and keep on trucking.

But I still have material about how he thinks babies deserve to have their faces burned off if their parents are associated at all with criminal activity!
