    Then saddest and the funniest part of your post. Imagine what could have been done in the days since Al Gore invented the internet?

    PS, I know the internet was invented.

    There were more machine guns registered in the 30 or so days leading up to May 19 than had been cumulatively registered to that point.

    Sheez, we need a better "benevolent dictator of the universe" than you. How about reinstating the manufacture and sale of machine guns without needing a tax stamp. In fact, just do away with the entire NFA of 1934 and then the 1986 bill too.

    30 years from now we will be talking about how there was a mad rush to get our Form 1 and Form 4 in before July 13, 2016. I have 6 more tax stamps that I need to apply for and then comes the task of building everything over the next decade. October 1, 2013 also comes to mind and I have some projects left over from that deadline too.

    This is unless something gets changed by voting in the right people or The People coming to their senses. God help us.

    This is before my time but wasn't Reagan very close to getting rid of the ATF at some point? I believe it was actually the NRA that saved it.
