Making one would be pretty easy, especially compared to the amount of work I will do to pay for a registered one. But the price of getting caught is very steep. My dad's friend's bother got caught with an unregistered AK back in the late eighties and got 18 months in Club Fed for having it. He ended up doing about 6 months but then had a felony conviction and could never own a gun again.

One can only wish things were different, but that would sure hurt those who invested the big $ to do it legally.
Most people I have spoken to with registered machine guns would be more than happy to see 922(o) go away, they would just enrich their collection. :mrgreen:

I think our best chance of getting any new MG's on the market would be for the Attorney General to declare a 30-90 day amnesty. The law was set up so that he could easily do so on his own without congress's approval. The question is, how do we motivate him to do so? The last amnesty was a 30 day amnesty back in 1968. Please correct me if I am wrong but durring an amnesty I think we would be able to file From 1's and make our own MG's.
