[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1413805, member: 12995"] I only have one critique with your letter... Machineguns weren't outlawed in 1934, they were simply restricted by the NFA, forcing them to be registered with the BATFE. It wasn't until the NRA pushed Reagan to sign the 1986 Hughes Amendment, where machineguns were actually banned from civilian production/purchase, unless it was manufactured before May 19, 1986. Anything after that was ineligible and illegal for civilian ownership, and can only be possessed by Class III FFL holders as what's known as a "Post Sample" for "demonstration purposes only". :rolleyes: I really wish they'd just repeal the Hughes Amendment. There's been less than 5 crimes committed with legally-obtained machineguns since the NFA was enacted. [/QUOTE]
