Ya, this whole NRA ,pro vs con thing. Is definitely a BIG issue among gun owners.
Im going to joint one soon & always kind of figured it was NRA or nothing & figured out quickly there are other options.
I plan on looking into how the NRA has supported & voted for in the past. Instead of what people say on the forums. I figure that is the least I can do. Considering the numerous good things I already know they have done (CC). Honestly though I'm not going to hold my breath (Harry Reid).

Sounds like the NRA in WI is actually TRYING to cut its own throat. I think the NRA is important to gun owner rights, but they won't lift a finger to support gun owners like myself who have vintage machineguns. The NRA won't fight the Libs over owning those, probably because they don't want to painted as "pro-war" or as military fanatics. Whatever the reason, I joined CCRKBA instead, so if a machinegun is unlawfully or unjustly siezed and held by a law enforcement, I'll have some legal help getting it back. | |

This is a blog article about my trip to Knob Creek last weekend, with a video of the machine gun shoot.
I believe the registration requirement is unconstitutional, but the closed registry is especially onerous. Let's get it reopened so you can buy machine guns at reasonable prices again, and more people can afford them. |
Hey Snoman...haven't I seen you on youtube with an FNP-45 Tactical and an AAC TI RANT supressor? I have the same setup & love it! | |

I'm still hoping Santa Claus might put one under the tree for me.
It's a great weapon of choice when the SHTF era is upon us.
Knob Creek in Kentucky I also wanted to visit one day. __________________

I hate to be the devil's advocate, but if the registry were to be reopened, what is to prevent fabricators from rewelding machinegun kits and claiming they were "closet hidden" war relics? There would be a rash of remanufactured machineguns posing as curios & relics. Sure it would drive prices down, which is a good thing for most people, but it would be difficult to separate pre-1968, transferable 1969-1986 and post 1986 guns into categories they are currently being papered differently as. This issue may be an additional reason why BATFE will not issue an amnesty. They would be flooded with many guns claiming to be vet bringbacks or closet hidden weapons for decades past.
What do you guys think? | |

I think, if they started a mercy period, they would ignore the when... isn't that a point of "mercy"? __________________

Its still buyer beware in the nfa game. No different than buying semi auros or bolt and revoler guns. Buy from an individual is no less risky. Just have to find a reputable dealer or do the leg work yourself.
Lots of rewelded m1d garands with repro chines m84 scopes floating around getting sold at collector prices.
Fraud tends to start when something gets pricey not when price goes down. There is a LOT of fraud in the nfa world more than you think. __________________

My 2 cents...
The Anti's are hitting us on a broad front, we need to strike back in kind.
Every form of gun control needs to be pushed back. Outside of convicted
felons everyone should be able to purchase to their hearts content. __________________
