The legal ownership of automatic weapons is a complicated process. Below is a brief summary of the current legal requirements focusing on private ownership. It is no means exhaustive and anyone considering private ownership is advised to consult a competent dealer regarding the details and requirements in your state. The ownership of machineguns was first regulated at the federal level by the National Firearms Act of 1934. This act establishes the need for the approval of the Treasury to transfer or own a machine gun along with the payment of a $200.00 tax each time a weapon is transferred to or among individual collectors. In addition the weapons are registered in a federal database. These procedures remain in effect today as part of the federal tax code though they are administered by the Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. A second federal statute, The Firearms Owners' Protection Act of May 19, 1986, created two broad classes of automatic weapons. Guns manufactured and registered prior to the acts date which can be owned by civilians. These are called “transferable guns”. Those manufactured on or following the acts date are restricted to manufacturers, dealers and government entities. There are additional restrictions on dealers and manufactures which are not detailed here. Certain states have additional requirements on machine gun ownership over and above the federal regulations noted above. Some states ban ownership totally. In Massachusetts, for instance, an additional state License To Possess A Machine Gun granted by the local police department is required. To qualify you must be a certified firearms instructor or bonafied collector of firearms. The first step in ownership is to locate the transferable firearm of your choice via a qualified dealer in your state. You may then begin the transfer process but may not take possession of the firearm until the transfer is approved. The entire process can take a few months to complete. The transfer process involves submitting an application with photographs and fingerprints signed by your local Chief Law Enforcement Officer to the Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives along with a $200.00 transfer tax payment. Upon completion of a federal background check the Bureau will approve or deny the application. If approved a copy of the application is returned to you with the required tax stamp attached. At this point you may take possession of the firearm from the dealer. [link to www.hansonshoot.com] |

Gary, this was actually your idea, this gun law. You started it. Tell me the theory behind it. MARBUT: Well, the theory is to challenge the commerce clause power of Congress with a Tenth Amendment spin. What the bill says — there's now a law in Montana — is that any firearms, ammunitions and firearms accessories made and retained in Montana are simply not subject to any federal jurisdiction under the power of Congress to regulate commerce among the states BECK: OK. Joel, you put this in. You're a state rep. You put it in. The governor signed it. It's now law. It goes into effect October 1st? REP. JOEL BONIEK, MONTANA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: Correct. BECK: OK. Why did you do this? BONIEK: I believe that the purpose of government is to protect our life, liberty and our property. And when I saw this idea, I had been aware that the federal government has been overreaching in its power for a long time. And I thought, you know, this is something that appeals to me. And I didn't go to the legislature to be rubber stamped for more regulation. I went there to protect people's freedom, and this is a great vehicle to do that. BECK: OK. So Gary, how does this work now? I go in and I buy — I mean, I don't have to have a federal background check on guns if this goes in? MARBUT: Once this begins to bear fruit, that's correct. We plan to litigate this through the courts. And we have some other strategies we are working to effectuate this, but we all have to wait until it is resolved in the courts, I think.

HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009 Please send this to everybody on your list... this is Obama gun control by secrecy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009. We just learned yesterday about this on the Peter Boyles radio program. Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because it is flying under the radar. To find out about this - go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information. Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with a clip or ANY pistol unless: ..It is registered ..You are fingerprinted .You supply a current Driver's License .You supply your Social Security # .You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing .Each update - change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail. .There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18. The Government would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison. If you think this is a joke - go to the website and take your pick of many options to read this.. [link to www.opencongress.org] It is long and lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the wordalong. FAILURE TO DO SO AT YOUR PERIL! Any hunters in your family - pass this along. Peter Boyles is on this and having guests. Listen to him on KHOW 630 a.m. in the morning. He suggests the best way to fight this is to tell all your friends about it and "spring into action". Also he suggests we all join a pro-gun group like the Colorado Rifle Association, hunting associations, gun clubs and especially the NRA.. This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense - chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it. This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not. The Second Amendment... .America's original homeland security -- Remember this statement: When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty! "When the government fears the people, you have liberty. When the people fear the government [or the IRS, for that matter], you have Tyranny." (Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence of the United States) Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

Normal people do use them. You would be surprised how wrong you are about all those assumptions you just threw down as facts. I have an FFL, Class 1. Owning a pre-1986 manufactured automatic weapon is easy for any American to do, all it takes is some paperwork and if it is not EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED by the laws in your state, nobody can stop you if you want one. All it takes is some correctly filled out paperwork , a legal entity (LLC or corporation), and a $200.00 Treasury stamp. Believe me, I have a stack of them. Every NFA weapon I own is separate from my FFL business, which could also deal in automatic weapons, but only to Police departments, Federal Agencies, the Army, etc... and for a yearly tax of $500 bucks. I think. THAT requires BATFE approval that can be denied. I do not deal automatic weapons of any kind, the market is rather saturated and it would be a waste of money in taxes.
