To remove restrictions from NFA

[C Ward]

The white house petitions are a publicity gimmick and should be regarded as such . The thing to remember here is that the NFA was created to DISCOURAGE ownership . At the time it was created the 200 dollar stamp was anywhere from 400% on up of the cost of the item . It's not even remotely realistic to think the government is going to make it easier and applying rational thought to the process is a foreign concept to the bureaucracy .

I've read about this and came across it a few times... thank God the price didn't go up with time. I guess my impatience has gotten the best of me at times and this is probably one of'em examples, but I have been doing really good so far
