Given the cost of ammo it seems like the kind of thing you only do if you really want a machine gun and have gently caress you money.

The "dealer sample" is a bit of fucky-fucky. They're cheaper, since they can only transfer between dealers and not private collectors, but you have to also have proof of interest in purchase/testing by a law-enforcement agency.

A while back, it came out that some pissant little town (in CA, I want to say, but don't remember for sure) was putting out interest letters solely for the benefit of their dealer pal getting fun toys. Another dealer, more recently, got an interest letter and sat on it for a while before acquiring the sample. Problem is, the agency in question rescinded the letter before the transfer was finalized, so the gun is now in limbo - paid for, but can't legally be transferred to the dealer. (It appears he used the letter after being informed that it was no longer valid, so he's hosed legally as well, possibly.)

Have a (really gunfappery) video of a dude shooting a handheld 7.62 minigun. Skip to 1:11 to watch him slide backwards from the recoil.

I thought I saw talk recently of removing the LE request requirements for "post samples" as part of some proposed ATF rule changes with the new administration. At that point it might be feasible to be a SOT from your home? :question:

I mean, I've bought two guns from kitchen table FFLs so it's not that far fetched:

But let's be honest, your "gun rights" are not at risk. As far as civil rights violations in this country go, the risk that one day you might have to get a background check before a private firearms sale is waaaay down on the list.

The problem isn't that the nation will suddenly ban guns. It's that cities and states will chip away at gun rights over time. It's a long game. Cities like NYC, Chicago, DC, and Las Vegas are examples. Nevada and New York took opposite stances on this, by the way. The Nevada legislature smacked down Vegas by reiterating that cities can't trump state law, but local law enforcement still harasses people with permits openly; it's the only city I know of where concealed carry is legal but firearms instructors and writers actively recommend you don't alert law enforcement (usually they recommend you do, or leave it up to you). NY passed the Safe Act, which nibbles at the issue by doing things like: basing classification of a weapon on visual cues (it looks scary so it must be restricted...pistols can be considered assault weapons, for example), all assault weapons must be registered with the state, new magazines over 7 rounds are illegal (old 8+ rd mags are legal but can only be used to carry 7), purchasing ammunition requires a background check and you have to purchase it through an FFL, mental health checks are mandatory and if there's anything negative there you are banned from purchases for five years and any guns you own are seized by the state (due process be damned), and if you hold a CCW permit you specifically have to request that your personal information (name, address, etc) NOT be made publicly available...that was in response to this site but for some reason it's not automatic. It's also worth noting that 52 of NY's 62 counties do not support the Safe Act. Eight of the ten supporting counties are in the NYC metro and Long Island. Not particularly representative, but it doesn't need to be.

Is it a gun ban? Obviously not. But is it of genuine concern? Absolutely. Some of these provisions have been employed elsewhere. Colorado has taken some anti-gun steps in recent years; they no longer recognize non-resident permits from any state and do not offer a CO non-resident permit...not a big deal, but a minor hassle which means a lot of people will pay the extra $$$ to hold permits from multiple states. They banned a lot of standard capacity magazines in a law so poorly written that Magpul, one of the largest manufacturers of magazines in the country, was technically in violation of the law simply by conducting their business (kudos to them for moving out of CO and bringing employees that wanted to go with them). We all know about California. You've got people like Bloomberg, Hillary, and Pelosi who are openly against guns...and they're all influential democrats so that inherently aligns gun owners against democrats to some degree. And Bloomberg sprinkles cash anywhere he thinks he can influence gun laws...Colorado is a prime example. So you've got people from those isolated anti-gun areas influencing state and local laws elsewhere, actively trying to chip away until it becomes commonplace. At that point they've already won, but there's a tipping point where it becomes acceptable on a national level because X states and major municipalities already have similar laws, so obviously the people have spoken, right? Either that or Bloomberg dropped enough money into the right pockets.

It's not a conspiracy theory, it's literally what's been happening.

The full auto civilian registration, the NFA registry, was frozen with the 1986 "firearm owners protection act".....sooooo you can't bring in and/or register any full auto firearm for the civilian market :(.

It's even worse than that. It hasn't been legal to import machine guns for sale to the general public since the Gun Control Act of 1968. Any machine gun that was imported between 1968 and 1986 is a dealer sample that can only be transferred between dealers & LE. However, dealers can keep pre-86 dealer samples after they go out of business and give up their license, unlike post-86 machine guns. Many machine guns that you might think were imported were actually imported as semi-autos and then converted to machine guns once in the US to get around the import law.

What was that book or study about how middle eastern armies are pants on head retarded and why they fight like retards? From my personal anecdotal evidence, middle eastern armies are all about who's tribe you're from or who you bribed to be an officer. Enlisted are literally cannon fodder and officers hoard all knowledge about anything, especially when they get sent to US military schools. That and from what I saw, it literally was "inshallah" about everything. Don't need tactics or cover when it's up to god when you die.

It's not "why arabs lose wars" though, it's "why tinpot dictatorship armies lose wars". Like the lessons in there can be applied all over the place to armies that could threaten a coup, no dictator is going to let their army get more competent than it is loyal. Hell, look at the direction Turkey is heading in now after all the purges.

Putting it down to "Arab's only value tribal ties" or whatever is on the same level as when Westmoreland said North Vietnam won the war because "Orientals don't value human life".
