it looks like the 'possession' part has been taken out of the awb and silencer bans.
That is strange indeed. Also, it's only illegal to sell or transfer one if you can do so in accordance with the NFA. So if you make one in violation of the NFA, VA doesn't care??
There is zero mention of Machine Guns in this bill. So if you scratch the semi markings off the lower, so it's only auto or burst, that might fly. Right up until they see that lots of those MG parts could also be used in an assault weapon.
