Semi Auto rifles = NFA firearms?

[ray1970]

The logistics of registering every semi as a NFA item are staggering...

(Ah, Bailey had faster fingers)

I'm no math wiz, but millions of semi autos being registered at $200 a pop adds up to a shit ton of federal revenue.

Just saying.

I don't see the "semi-autos as NFA weapons" scenario happening for a more mundane reason. The logistics required for registration of guns in circulation will be overwhelming. There are literally millions of them. I think the rule could probably be done through EO but it isn't likely.

If O can't get an outright ban, and he may not, why would he care how long the process takes? Isn't one of the progressive tenants to overload the system until it collapses?

I wouldn't even be able to afford to register my "assault style" weapons....Ok that's not true, but I think That paying over $3k in taxes for firearms I already own and have already paid taxes on is cause for some SERIOUS protest.

I can definitely see this happening. The revenue generation makes too much sense.

Possibly. But if the system collapses we really don't have to worry about registering our guns...hypothetical guns, of course. I don't own any assault rifles so I'm good.

This is nonsense, the statutory language of the NFA does not cover semi-auto rifles.

If it goes to 4473 searches, I feel there will a mysterious rash of unusual fires at firearms dealers.....

Not to mention every new member asking in the NFA forum. "Anyone know how long a wait?" Over & over. that section would be the new GD, condolences mods.

Up side would be how cool a line of 7-10" ak's & ar's would look at the range. The fudds would be howling. and i'd be smiling.
HOWS THAT FOR SPORTING PURPOSES MUTHA FUKER!

Keep in mind that when the original NFA went into effect, there was an amnesty where folk could register their NFA items for free. Such an amnesty period would be required to get an expansion of the NFA to include Semi Auto passed (again, I believe a plain ole AWB would be easier to pass).

I know one thing, if it were to look like the NFA route was going to win, if I was the administrators on this site, there would be a system crash that took out tons of posts, involving who said they owned assault rifles, etc. Just saying, and I would start being really careful at what I said I owned, on here and in public. Anyone know the significance of the fish symbol to christians? Look it up sometime, involving the romans. May be a sign of things to come in the future with knowing who is ok.

Hmm let's see I'm no NFA expert but what about those folks with semi autos that live in cities where their CLEO won't sign off on class 3,or any NFA items,we would be expected to just turn in that particular firearm,hope this never becomes a reality
