Honestly, our best chance for this happening now isn't this lawsuit. It's the fact that I finally decided to get into NFA weapons and just dropped $12k.
But you're welcome, everyone. This is just my continued heritage of poorly timed financial decisions.
Thank you!!!! I will be able to buy 3 legally with no stamp (?) for the same cost in the future after the SCOTUS makes the final ruling. Wonder if the ruling will apply to suppressors, etc?
... That is, they should've highlighted the fact that US gun makers are facing unfair competition from overseas since they're not able to make/sell MGs to overseas (and US) markets. Therefore, the GCA is unfairly anti-competitive and prohibitively exclusionary to US vendors who're unable to compete on an equal playing field. At least that'd be my premise.
What stops them from making MGs for sale over seas? Export restrictions to some countries, import restrictions by host countries... However thats not stopping MG sales around the world. Frankly if the Feds do have one thing correct that would be the ability to control imports and exports. Both US and foreign dealers are both equally restricted inside the US. So I see nothing there. US gun manufactures can make and sell MGs to many parts of the world.
Can, say, S&W manufacture a MG for export?
My understanding is that the manufacture or sale of MGs in the US was banned as a result of the GCA. No?
They sure can. If you're building them, it's for our gov or someone else's as long as you play by the books. Suppressors, on the other hand, are a no go on export. Carter put a stop to that and it put Military Armament Corp out of business.
Wasn't yesterday, March 11th, the deadline for the federal government/ATF to respond to the sur-reply?
