:roll: I own several of those items you claimed required licenses. Where in that snippet you posted say anything about a special license. You were the one that said they require special licenses remember? Here is how it happens:If you're going to debate gun law, especially if you're going to say I'm wrong, you may want to first learn something about the laws you're blabbing about.
1. You go to a Firearms dealer whoe does require a special license to sell NFA items.
2. You pay him for the NFA item.
3. He fills out a Form 4 with all the details.
4. Depending on how you do it, you can get a law enforcment signature stating you are not an asshat. I did not need one.
5. You submit the paperwork along with a $200 check and another form stating you are or are not a US citizen.
6. You wait for them to cash the check and the paperwork goes to the bottom of a stack of several thousand others. (A couple years ago, they processed well over 20,000 request for short barreled shotguns/rifles, silencers, machine guns, AOWs and destructive devices. They have well exceeded that the past couple).
7. After waiting for your paperwork to get to the top, they make sure all the ts are crossed and is dotted. They sign it and put a real live $200 stamp on it (just like a duck stamp) and send it back.
8. Dealer gets paperwork, runs a NICs check (just like Walmart) and gives you the NFA item you purchased nearly a year ago. Did I mention he has had to keep the item in his possession until the Form 4 comes back approved?
If I want to make an NFA item, I fill out a form 1. Everything minus the dealer and NICs check is still the same. I have to wait until I have the Form 1 in hand before I can even begin to make anything.
The only background check done was the same NICs check required when you buy a shotgun or rifle at Walmart.
So why don't' you answer the question posed vice going off on a tangent. Given the ease with which a criminal can make these things, how did the process I go through to do it legally prevent a criminal from making them illegally? How is it a success? I answered what was a success. Now you need to step up and explain.
