The ATF accidentally approved a form 1 for a Machine Gun

Ok, lets say this all somehow becomes kosher. Wonder how much trouble it would be for them increase the stamp price. Again, think about 41p....

The only reason 200 is reasonable today is because it was ungodly in the 20's. Probably something on the lines of 2K?

Which is exactly why the ATF will likely be sued over this, since they flip flop on different subjects. The thing is, depending on THAT ruling, the ATF doesn't need to create a legislative law, because they now have case law on their side which could help us, or hurt us very bad.

Well in this case the ATF will do what they always do - whatever they want. They screwed up here, and let it slip through. When the law firm made the offer, there were several people saying they were going to attempt it, and I am guessing this one slipped through the cracks.

They can't. It is the law.

So AOW stamps were always $5?

No, they weren't.

Closer to 3500

No, they weren't.

AOW was originally $1. It was changed later by Congress to $5 - once again a law.

ATF does not have the power to change those amounts.

If you don't think congress wouldn't quickly swoop in to screw the $200 stamp, I have a bridge for sale.

Closer to 3600 now actually. And who's to say they wouldn't adjust it higher. I don't smoke, but how much have the jacked up the tax on cigarettes in just the past decade or two?

Never said that - just the ATF can't do it.

My apologies. I should have said "the government" instead of "them".
