NFA registered ARs and how an AWB would effect them.

[Maverick44]

To those with NFA registered ARs, what happens if Beto O'dipshit's idea for a mandatory buyback (confiscation) somehow makes it to law? Wouldn't having an NFA registered AR such as one that was SBRed make you an easy target for the Feds?

Now, let me say that I don't see a law like that passing any time soon, and even if it did it would likely face a severe amount of backlash and legal challenges. This is a hypothetical "what if" scenario.

I have nothing more to add to except for that. I don’t have any NFA items. I would however agree with you in saying that you’d be an easy target for the alphabet boys to come knocking

I thought about this a bit and have a wild theory. Say that an assault weapons ban is passed and all ARs are now illegal. If I have an SBR with a stamp, that is the government telling me I can possess it. Suddenly only NFA items are legal.

Just a theory.

Interesting concept...

Yep. That is kinda why folks dont like registration.

The government told us we could own bump stocks. How'd that work out for us?

Registration is a prelude to confiscation. Sometimes it takes a while.

You won’t know until you see the law. They ca Write it any way they like.

 

[sucker76]

I do hear both of you about registration and confiscation. We dont want to go down that path ever.
Where SBRs are different from bumb stocks is bump stocks aren't specifically mentioned and allowed by the NFA of 34.

The idea behind my original idea was he NFA of 34 calls out and identifies SBRs SBSs silencers. The stamp is me or anyone complying with the law including thorough background checks.
The NFA doesn't necessarily identify the average AR.

Your post beat me by a few minutes so I didn't see it. You're right, any new law can be written any way. I was just going through a mental exercise using current law.

NFA is what they want for the moment; weapons to be few in number and all registered. The european model... Of course at that point it would only be about three election cycles before everything is banned.

I’m hoping pistols don’t get reclassified as SBR’s...

Pistols are fully semi-automatic...

So that would make them Back up Assault weapons?

Ever read the text of the original Metzenbaum bill for an assault rifle ban from the late 1980s? That was the initial legislation upon which the 1994 ban was based.

The first draft defined as an "assault rifle" any firearm that took a detachable magazine that could hold more than 10 rounds and could be converted into a rifle. Since 99.9% of semi-auto handguns can be fitted with an extended magazine, a long barrel, and a shoulder stock, that first draft of the "assault rifle" legislation actually would have outlawed just about every semi-auto handgun in existence.

Yeah, re-classifying pistols as SBRs definitely seems like something they would do.

Thank for posting, I hadn’t read the original text.

I think pistols might be in their line of sight since one was used in a recent shooting.

The tax stamp is nothing more than a receipt you paid a tax to construct a or purchase something. I doubt it covers you as get our of jail free card when the semi auto ban comes down.

Know of a couple of people who have buried weapons..........after a couple of years or so, they dug them up.........

Both had disastrous results.......it is not a given that you can... "just bury them".....
