    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    Well I can still have a Polymer 80 mailed and spend less than an hour to remove a few bits of plastic, pin a rail and trigger and attach a slide.

    I am 50/50 on this.
    I mean innocent person getting 8 hours of heavy interrogation without an attorney and lied to official under duress is a felony.

    Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols is also committed a felony. (Was for mcveigh).

    Maybe they should make a legal classification and terms between misedermeanor and felony?

    CMP sales are not retail sales

    You can still have a CMP Garand sent to your door. You still go through a background check to get one.

    So you could go to walmart and pick up an AR 15 with no BGC until what year? 198X? Even select fire ARs?

    That would be awesome.

    It depended on the state, CA for example had a waiting period for years before the NICS was enacted

    Class III still had a $200 tax stamp since the NFA 1934

    The NFA of 1934 put the filing and obtaining a Tax stamp on full auto weapons.
    Before the 1968 act, there was a very short form, not much more than a bill of sale & receipt that recorded serial number and who you were.
    The 1986 act banned all new fully automatics from being sold to us common folk.

    That's a bit misleading.

    1986 act closed the registry, creating a de facto ban by making select fire weapons too expensive for the plebes like us because new guns couldn't be added to the registry and it became a limited and potentially shrinking pool.

    We're saying the same thing, but your statement could be misinterpreted as being a complete ban and making machine guns "illegal."
