Would repealing the Hughes Amendment actually be a good idea? Of course I would love full auto funs, but the amendment also added a prohibition on registering non NFA gun owners, and the safe passage provision. Would sacrificing those parts be worth it?

hypothetical law scenarios aren't our strong suit.

it's safe to say congress would keep the FOPA protections and remove the closing of the MG registry though.

>>32544120
The Hughes Amendment was a poison pill inserted into FOPA. It was intended to stop the passage of the bill--but the Republicans at the time probably thought the poison could be removed later. Indeed it can--there's a stronger GOP-lead government now and the 2A Caucus will be very powerful with grassroots GOP activists. The NRA, NAGR, GOA, and most state 2A advocacy groups will support the attempt. The 2A Causus is about as far-right as possible. Further, changes are already being proposed to NFA restrictions such as the declassification of suppressors (a la Hearing Protection Act) so it's not a far leap to go further with NFA modifications.

It's a good idea overall, IMO. But as SBR's and SBS's have shown, it won't be a flood but a trickle. A tax stamp, federal registration, and a 3+ month wait time is already heavy control. I'd like to see the interstate control aspect removed as well--you shouldn't have to notify the federal government when you go shooting across state lines. As for compromises, I'd accept upping the tax stamp to $2,000.

Try living in Australia where guns that sell for $100 in the US sell for $350-$450 and ammo is about twice as costly even though we make Winchester ammo locally.

Not to mention we can't even have pump action shotguns and the antis tried having lever shotguns banned just weeks ago.

I am a registered shooter and a member of a pro-gun political party, I actively try to get more non-shooters into the hobby to boost the numbers of the aware that guns are not a problem, but criminals are.

Brings it inline with inflation and keeps it an actual investment. Considering how much the guns themselves cost, I'd consider it a fair trade. A $1,000 AR-15 would be a $3,200 machine gun--a fair price and quite attainable to most owners of multiple guns. Without empirical data, I'd assume that most NFA owners either own one or 5+ NFA items. The overall collections are 10+ guns. Which means that 10 $800 rifles is $8K plus the cost of magazines and lots of ammo--you're looking at a normal collection being like $12K+. It also makes NFA machine guns a decent but still small fraction of the collection's value and inline with more expensive semiautos. (Would you rather have two SCAR's or one F/A SCAR?)

>>32546078
>Versus cheap shitty MG's currently costing $5K, decent ones costing $15K to $30K, and rare ones costing $50K+
>AKA it's a massive improvement in all quarters
>Also, inflation will happen and so the cost per year will drop
>Would probably get us silencers and machine guns with red-state Democrats agreeing to such a hypothetic compromise

I'd much rather see the tax stamp stay at $200 or, better yet, have all NFA items declassified permanently. Which would be the initial bills I'd want to ram through. But also, I'd like to see something permanent that the Democrats wouldn't simply undo come 2020 or 2024. Having all NFA categories reopened would be a massive win on its own.

>>32546230
Just gotta handle that carefully. For example:
- Allow gun lockers too, don't require expensive safes which present a huge financial barrier to gun ownership
- Don't require the safes to be bolted to the ground like in bongland (IIRC), because that immediately disqualifies any renter from having guns.
- Have the law be reactive rather than proactive. A prosecutable offense after the fact, but don't have cops doing surprise annual inspections of your safe.

And so forth. Many if not most of these "common sense safety" ideas are thorny as hell and easily bent to the service of de-facto bans.

NFA was pre-NICS, when doing a background check actually took some leg work. Most of this is automated today.

As a compromise, on things which are on the NFA, I would accept an additional 10% excise tax per transfer on the value of the device on top of the existing 10% on regular firearms, and a moderately enhanced NICS style check and a waiting period of not more than two weeks.

Suppressors, SBS, SBR and AOW should be removed from NFA, and put on 4473 just like everything else, potential waiting period not withstanding, leaving only MGs and DDs in the federal registry, which would be re-opened for applications.

>>32545787
The only reason we have a surge of suppressor ownership enough to challenge the NFA is because $200 is basically small part of the total cost of ownership for most high quality suppressors.

>>32546055
>2k tax stamp? De facto ban.
So, in other words, pretty much like $200 was in 1934? Works out to be $3600 in 2016 dollaroos. Roughly 30-50% of a brand new family car of the time.

Allowing unmoderated access to legal full auto weapons is a terrible idea. And its never going to happen.

>queue the army of poofags, "libertarians", and whatever else.

I love these threads where people talk about "working' on repealing the hughes or the NFA, as if its ever going to pass. Its not. No one is ever going to push it out of committee, and even if it did, it would DOA on the floor.

A society with essentially unrestricted access to full auto firearms would like like some shit in Peshawar, Libya, or Somalia with open air arms markets. These are not good regions to live in.

Go ahead and rage impotently now anon.

True or False:
Un-moderated access to cheap fully automatic weapons would increase gun crime deaths.

The resultant increase in gun crime deaths would cause more restrictions to be placed.

Every Tyrone and Demetrius having access to FA and using them in crimes would ruin the public image of FA.

Yes, because that was the US pre-1934, right? And that was the US leading up to the Hughes Amendment with all those thousands of scary full auto killings, right?

Would you call the US of the 70s a different society as well? Considering that the only impediment to a brand new full auto gun back then was the $200 tax stamp and the murder rate was much higher than it is today, what makes you think the repealing of the hughes amendment would cause an extreme surge in full auto weaponry use in crimes? The data already doesn't support you when it comes to scary semi-auto rifles, considering bludgeonings beat those out year by year when it comes to murder, so what makes you think full auto versions of the same would suddenly be used in crimes, other than your feelings?

Somehow, I have a feeling that even if hughes were repealed, firearms like the semi auto 249 would still be about 10 grand even if they imported and sold more autos.

I hope the two dumbfucks ITT cucking like a couple of goddamned chickens realize how stupid it is not to lead with MORE than you actually want. You get to the compromise part after the public voices their opinions and then you figure out exactly how many more votes you will need for it to pass. Hopefully, by the end you will end up with what you really wanted to begin with and the opposition still gets to feel like they accomplished something, so it's a win-win.

Closing the registry is a de facto ban and I'm sure that strict constructionist Supremes would agree as well. The 2A is clear: 'shall not infringe.' It is not a matter of how popular it is, since we are a Republic and not a democracy. Holding any other position is traitorous.

They're "muh child killers" with a perception that can be combated by pointing out facts--like that they're already an NFA item, subject to a tax stamp, the wait times for said tax stamps are measured in months, and that statistics say the criminal misuse of NFA F/A is incredibly rare and not just against all other gun deaths.

Which is why you first go in with far-right Republicans in heavily red districts & states. You have them (and the far-right 2A groups like NAGR) try to push through a complete repeal of the NFA entirely. Inevitably it fails. So you go in again and soften it a little--we'll only declassify SBR's, SBS's, and silencers and eliminate the NFA tax stamp. That gets the support of GOA but also fails. Third try is to reopen the registry, declassify silencers, and eliminate the tax. SBR's and SBS's remain NFA and have a long wait list. Maybe the NRA steps up and agrees with that one and basically all red district Republicans agree. But it's still not enough. So the final attempt becomes one we can still agree with--delist suppressors and reopen the MG registry. If added incentive is needed, up the tax a bit. Collectors get guns, gun right organizations have a big victory for hardliners (and big donors), and they still have bogeymen to attack as half the country continues to trend towards the far-right. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of new modern machine guns get accepted into the NFA registry every year and you can afford the tax pretty easily (but Jamal or his less felonious neighbors cannot).

This isn't a rich vs poor thing. $2000 is a sizable chunk of change but it's attainable for 90% of the country who own their own car. Not to hemorrhage $2K just because but instead to plan the purchase for a year.

$30K+ for an AR-15 DIAS is simply ridiculous. It's more than the average car and is out of reach of 98% of the country. If I could have a bill that gets it back in reach of 80% of the country, I happily would.

To every autist in this thread; how far detached from reality are you? Are you full on "NO ROAD, REEEEE" libertarian, or just don't go out/pay attention to the real world? I WOULD love to live in a real world where "shall not be infringed" was possible, but I/we don't. You do know that the only reason why it is remotely possible is due to a backlash against all of the intolerable liberalism from the last eight years? Now imagine that the ATF is abolished and all 2A controls/prohibition repealed/abolished as well. Don't try for one second that gun crime wouldn't go up, noticeably, maybe not skyrocket but go up enough. Enough so that it would convince many people (who were indifferent at some point) that had been swayed to the pro-2A side, that we do in fact need gun control. There would soon be another backlash, Republicans would lose their majority, and it isn't far flung to imagine the Presidency as well. Before you know it we have gun control on the level of Canada/U.K./Australia etc.

Here's a little analogy (the autists/trap lovers won't like/get); I own the house (don't start, she signed a pre-nup) my wife and I live in, I could/can do anything I see fit concerning how it's painted decorated because I own it. I let her put some of her dumbass knick-knacks, ugly paintings, and pick some colors when we paint a room, why, I don't have to? I do though cause it helps keep the peace, I get my bj's and get to wash my dick in her pink sink because of it. What I'm trying to say is although my power in concerns to the house is unlimited (how the 2A SHOULD be viewed, in a perfect world) I make some compromises to keep her (the voter who isn't hardcore 2A) happy.

Get back our gun rights one slice at a time. I know we've lost 90% of them but if we can shrink that down to 80% or 70% immediately, then that's still a big win. The war's goal is complete victory. I'll take a fair few winning battles in the meantime. Or we can throw out the opportunities because we'd rather force their surrender without any battles.

You guys are just as bad as the people who want a full on ban of guns. We (gun owners) are in a position to finally get some pro-2A legislation passed. If we tried to get anything passed that was even remotely close to abolishing the ATF or anything else as ludicrous, it wouldn't make it out of committee, and even if it did it would be 360noscoped and teabagged if it made it to the floor.

What we need is to start slowly rolling back anti-2A legislation and replacing it with pro-2A legislation that isn't easy to repeal. Basically like getting your wife to let you put it in her pooper; you ease that shit in slow, you ram it in and she recoils forward, cries, and you don't ever get close to that brown-eye again.

Dems generally tend not to vote in non-presidential elections. The party has a hard time stirring people up when the white house isn't at stake. Young people are, for the most part, lazy and indifferent when it comes to politics so you're left with only older hardline dems. Couple that with the fact that the Dems' party is in full disarray as they are infighting about to double down on identity politics or return to their working class roots.
>>
>>32548442

Not lazy, pissed. The party hasnt done dick for us, and Hillary is a perfect example of that.

We wanted Bernie and mobilized for it and the party said no in favor of courting the crackers that ended up jumping ship for Trump anyway.

>>
>>32548136
Your argument is absurd. Keep back ground checks and the bit about felons. Then free up everything else. Not that the part about felons matters because half the time they get their hands on a gun anyway. The point is gun crime is happening either way. Why are you bent on punishing and stripping the rights of law abiding citizens for the sake of appeasing a merciless enemy? The left would strip you of your arms in a heartbeat if they could and here you are wanting to work with them. We are on the offensive now, not them.They bend the knee, not us. We can take back a lot of ground in 2 years and if we do a good job, a republican majority increases in 2018. Then 2020 could be another victory. You sound like a beaten and abused housewife that needs to leave her deadbeat husband, but is too afraid to.

They're already fucking doing that, or did you not notice Chicago's murder rate went up 57% last year? Again, Full Retard wastes more ammo. It's useless outside of a proper battlefield because the only advantage it has over semi is suppressive fire and/or psychological warfare. Other than that it's a waste of ammo, which is why nations all over the world did stupid shit like magazine cutoffs, fixed magazines, and 3-round burst, only to find it is better to train a soldier to properly use full auto than prevent him from going Full Retard. Gang members/mass shooters don't give a hot gay fuck about firing discipline.

The only "positive" effect that banning full auto can be seen to accomplish is to slightly hamper revolution/insurrection, but even then you can illegally modify a semi to full without much issue. You still see it from time to time but it is seen, rightfully so, as a fool's errand because it's not worth the hassle.

You're post is proof of what I'm talking about. First about young people being lazy and indifferent. The only reason Bernie had the support he did is because of young people and what he promised them. Second that the party is fractured. At the state level if they want to win elections they're going to have to appeal to the working class (like what the use to do), but they're will be big infighting about who runs on the ticket because of that vs. identity politics shit.
>>32548466
My argument is just what you said in your second sentence >>Keep background checks and the bit about felons. As well as some sort of tax stamp for FA, we can argue about that ad infinitum, but my point is that we can't do this shit overnight. The only reason were on the offensive right now is all the people we've brought to our side after the last 8 years. Get rid of "common-sense" gun control, the ATF, what have you and the left spins it as "we need more gun control, think of the children" and we lose the people we've swayed over to our side and we get even more restrictive gun control.

Don't rely on past actions to ensure victory. It's the same decision-making that lost Hillary the election. She should have defended some blue states. Instead, she said "he'll never win" and took a vacation instead. November came and she lost big. We cannot afford to be in the same position. 2018 is an election year. We gotta get out to the polls and grow the Republican majorities. It's all quite attainable right now. If Trump can improve the perception of the economy, then the Republicans can pickup seats. Maybe find 60 senators and improve the House majority too. Come 2020, Trump could get reelected on a "you weren't so bad after all" and again retain the Republican majority. What's really important is that we get the federal government straightened up. Push through the necessary reforms, cut the bloat, get enough jobs back to make a difference. A country where only BLM is protesting is a country that will again vote Trump and down the (R) line.

The ultimate goal, IMO, is to keep conservative control until 2024 and beyond. Load the SCOTUS with conservative justices. It's currently 4-4 soon to be 5-4. Wait for Ginsburg and Kennedy to check out and it'll be 7-2. Maybe Alito or Clarence Thomas will also pass (they'll be in their mid to upper 70s) or retire while the GOP still controls the ship. At which point we'll retain a 7-2 majority with a relatively young court. And further hammers in that conservative principles will lead the country for another 20+ years. Gun control won't stand in a 6-3 or 7-2 SCOTUS and that's the ultimate goal. Have national CCW reciprocation and dismantle liberal states' gun laws too. And have the political will to enforce the constitution everywhere--and not just in red states.

Hint: Presidents are not better or worse at economics. But very often policies' impacts are delayed into the next candidate's terms.

Hint2: Clinton's GDP growth (often called the Clinton Surplus) was due to the gutting of a bloated welfare program. That piece of legislature gutting the program was crafted by the Republican congress.

Hint3: Economic history is more complicated than you assume.

Just like cars, firearms are not an investment. You don't go buying a Toyota Camry with the intent of it appreciating and selling it later. That is not to say there aren't collectable cars out there. Firearms are the same way. I don't go out and buy a KAC AR with the hopes of it appreciating. It is a poor investment strategy (if you can call it that) because it is not known or expected that the value of a firearm will increase.

WRONG
They didn't know it was a dangerous amount of debt because the risk of the debt being taken on was being misrepresented

>>
>>32546444
It happened in the 80s (prior to the ban on semi-auto open bolt guns eliminating a whole class of guns that could be converted to FA in 10 minutes with a nail file), and it wasn't a problem for people who weren't gang bangers.

Banning these guns didn't solve the problems of the inner city, getting more cops on the street and better investigating techniques/databases did.
>>
>>32549749
>because the risk of the debt being taken on was being misrepresented

Because the previous administrations had gutted the regulatory structure.

This isn't exclusively a Republican problem, but it absolutely a "muh free market will fix it" problem. Clinton drank the cool-aid just as hard as any Republican.

If you don't believe me, believe the committee the House appointed to figure out what went wrong.

>>32546541
I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that gangsters/thugs don't make guns or gun parts. They buy them from straw purchasers who never fail a background check and continue funneling for cash.

You don't see FA weapons a lot because these sorts of people aren't smart. They aren't even smart enough to clean their guns. If FA was purchasable with a 4473 only, you could guarantee it would be straw purchased and sold to gangs very quickly.

I still want the Hughes Amendment repealed, mind you.

But it is not an expected action. A lot of guns nowadays do not appreciate, they remain the same or depreciate.

Cars should be considered consumables because their value deteriorates rapidly from use. Not so with guns.

From the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.

>"More than 30 years of deregulation and reliance on self-regulation by financial institutions, championed by former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan and others, supported by successive administrations and Congresses, and actively pushed by the powerful financial industry at every turn, had stripped away key safeguards, which could have helped avoid catastrophe. This approach had opened up gaps in oversight of critical areas with trillions of dollars at risk, such as the shadow banking system and over-the-counter derivatives markets. In addition, the government permitted financial firms to pick their preferred regulators in what became a race to the weakest supervisor."

>"The enactment of legislation in 2000 to ban the regulation by both the federal and state governments of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives was a key turning point in the march toward the financial crisis

The "government forced the banks to take out risky loans" meme was forced by the American Enterprise Institute. It bears no relationship with reality.

All lever action shotguns with a capacity of five or less got moved to Category B, those with 6 and over got moved to Category D, Category D is basically a ban since only professional pest controllers qualify.

Or however that parody post went. Things should not have their value artificially inflated just because you don't want to share a hobby with those you consider beneath you.

If it were a write-off, maybe. Otherwise, its just more paperwork that we shouldn't be paying to process.

Wouldn't mind so much if it was instant.

The delay is what irritates me: They have my money, and they can (and most likely will) just sit on it indefinitely.

Getting a SCI clearance takes less time.

At least make silencers legal (and cheap). I'd even argue mandatory for indoor ranges, especially since RMs around here like to throw .22s in with pistol calibers in the same room despite there being two separate rooms for this very reason.

Well I am working class and $2000 is a lot of money to me, but I think that if we can have legal full autos, $2000 to make it happen is affordable, how many people buy more than $2000 in other shit they don't need, it's like people have never heard of saving, put $20 away a week for two years then get a machine gun.
>>
>>32550211
It would also need supermajorities in the House & Senate and some states do direct votes on constitutional amendments. If the GOP does well through 2018, it's possible but not guarantied. I'd love to see a 28th Amendment further clarify that it is the right of the people to keep and bear arms equal or exceeding that of any established law enforcement or military agency.

>>32553774
It's pretty funny. I guess they're the people we make fun of for having an Andersen AR. But in all seriousness, $2K is an affordable luxury to most people. Having new machine guns will quickly devalue most existing machine guns (except the truly collectable models and premiums for muh original). Even living in the hood--if you can control your impulses, you can save $2000. Hell, some people might move to the hood for cheap rent and using the savings to buy machine guns.
>>
>>32554292
Yeah exactly, it's like they don't know how to save.

I also think that if you are on welfare you should be denied NFA paperwork processing.

You can still buy a gun, but if you are on the taxpayer dime then you don't get access to cool shit, get a job cunt.

You fucking moron, they could easily just repeal the part they don't like and leave in the part they want to keep.

Congress can basically stick anything in a bill that makes new laws or erases old ones so long as it works with the constitution, they don't have to repeal things whole or anything stupid like that.

btw, the hughes amendment doesn't even have all of the stuff you said, the original bill had all that stuff and the hughes amendment was a stick on that banned new full auto
>>
>>32546067
When you consider that a machine gun costs like 30,000 or more that's really not a lot of money.

Still pretty gay idea and the liberals wouldn't even be moved in the slightest by it (largely because they don't read the gun control laws we already have.)
>>
>>32554757
No, I am in favour of machine guns for working citizens.

No luxuries for welfare scum.
>>
>>32546164
Since 1934 only there is only ONE known case of a legally owned machine gun being used in a murder, and that was a police officer.

Full retard only provides a small advantage in mass shootings, and for many people would make it even harder due to the fact that they don't know what the fuck they are doing.

This gets much more to the heart of the issue. It doesn't matter what you do, because certain people will react the same way regardless of what you say. Showing you understand their retarded viewpoint validates them, and they will use it to assign guilt and further demonize you. They will not attempt to understand your reasoning or take a pragmatic approach. "If it saves just one life..." they will say, so anything less is morally wrong. You cannot compromise with people like that. We may quibble over details with each other because we share the same values, but I would advise not to try that with gun-grabbers. The best approach is to say what you believe, back it up with facts and reason, and let the fence sitters watch the ensuing hysteria.
>>
>>32555329
So pretty much, wait for a cultural shift, when people's beliefs swing back towards conservatism. Luckily this is happening as we speak.
>>
>>32555554 (so close)
All that I'm saying is that you cannot expect reason or compromise to work without a shared value system.

Conservatives lost so much ground in the last half century because they failed to propagandize the new generations effectively.

Guns aren't just a hobby and too many stupid and irresponsible people want one. Purchasing a gun, especially a machine gun, should be a burden to deter idiots.

But whatever you like, but you better truly want it.

Why does homeland security need a billion rounds of ammo? Because the FEMA trains need to be loaded. Give it another decade or so if the gun grabbers get their way.

The internet of things will eventually solve the nogunz and cheap gunz problems. Between cheap kits, 3D printing, and some novel other lost tech coming to the surface, there will never be a shortage of expedient firearms.

Time has shown again and again in all sorts of countries around the world, if someone wants to do mass havoc, you don't need a full auto machine gun. Look at the truck of peace and understanding ISIS has been driving around lately. (The sick fuckers they are).
Destructive devices are all over the place, if you want to make one. You can't legislate out stupid. When SHTF or a revolution happens, the last thing the officials contend with is insurgents and criminals bent of double breaking the laws on the books. The crims and suicidal will get whacked likely, and meanwhile the real citizens are suppressed.

Yeah, did you see the splattered rounds all over the entrance breach hole going in? Like that was shooting discipline. I bet it was spray and pray, but even if it was semi auto fire, that's just fucking sloppy shooting at CQC.
>>
>>32546055
vs 20-30k full autos today caused by market forces and a registry restriction?

2000 for a tax stamp on fa is reasonable.

>>32559644
I lost count at 40 holes around the breach hole. One string was full auto.. Can we trust the SWAT or whoever was the trigger happy fuckers that went in?

>>32559552
That right didn't help the Paris shooting victims, did it? That rigorous French gun control really stopped them terrorists from arming themselves!

Crazies gonna crazy. They'll find a weapon no matter the law. If they can't find one after all, they'll make a bomb. If they're too incompetent for even that, a truck with which they'll kill more than if they did find a gun.

Disarming the common man doesn't do shit.
