    If you own your own home.

    You can still list your father as the beneficiary on the NFA trust as well as the home.

    Just re-read your post and realize that I don't quite understand: if I own my own home I can list him as a beneficiary on the nfa trust? If I rent I cannot??

    Being the beneficiary of a home, would be easier in that the NFA items could remain in the state where they are registered. Until a later time where they can be transfered/sold/whatever...

    Ahhh, makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
     
    Actually, DC considers (or used to consider, if they've changed their definition post-Heller) any firearm that can accept a magazine holding more than 10 rounds to be a machinegun.

    So a Ruger 77/22 bolt-action .22 rifle with a 25 round mag would be a machinegun under DC law.

    A bolt action machinegun.


    Yep.


    Oddly, when they refer to the Glock 17 or 19 pistols their own police officers are issued, DC refers to them as "service pistols" - not the "machineguns" which it would claim them to be if they were in the hands of a citizen.

    I suspect this language has been changed in the wake of Heller, but it shows the mentality of just how batshit crazy most gun laws in DC are.

    Kinda like how two identical AR-type rifles can have different names depending on who's hand they're in. That rifle in the trunk of a police car is a "patrol carbine". The same rifle in my Jeep is an "assault weapon".

    As long as you're a criminal there perfectly ok. In fact they go great with pants three sizes too big, the newest pair of Nike shoes, and an inch thick gold colored chain.

    And the year 1995. I have not seen anyone with baggy pants and gold chains in over 10 years. I wish kids would go back to that. Better than the skin tight pants and lip rings they wear these days hahahahahah.
