So anyone think if a new AWB goes into effect will it cut NFA stuff as well? Looking to get a couple of things and cash is short but don't want to end up without the toys either.

There wont be a new AWB. Whatever happens it will be simple gun control.
Not that I have insight into this topic, but an AWB is by definition, simple gun control.Quote:

They wont outright ban again, just make it very very hard for you to purchase guns, ammo, magazines, etc. along with more invasive background checks, possibly waiting periods again, etc. all in the name of keeping you "safe". Along with this they will make it harder for gun shops to do business, with taxes and fees added in the name of victims funds etc.
No ban has ever effected NFA stuff as far as I know. For some reason, NFA stuff is pretty well off the radar for anti-gunners.
What about the Hughes Amendment to the Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986? It made a total ban on adding any more machine guns to the NFA registry.Quote:

Without an actual legislative text, these speculations are meaningless.
