[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 4051259, member: 2469"] I’m just making a wild guess that most of us here wouldn’t have any trouble legally purchasing a NFA firearm like an SBR, SBS, or silencer. It’s just the principle of paying the additional tax, months long wait to shuffle paper and the registration part that hangs some of us up. Arguably that’s the whole intention behind the NFA. But the funny part is that we’re also basically responsible and reasonable for the most part and, yet, we’ll argue and degrade each other over the issue of whether it’s morally right to pay the man for the right to own, boycott owning NFA items, or finding the NFA loopholes that allow us to have an NFA-like firearm. Meanwhile, people who live a life of criminal behavior give two ducks about what the law is and just do their thing because being in trouble with the law is normal for them. So, modifying a firearm is done to suit their need, not whether is violates the NFA. Any of us could make or modify our non-NFA firearm into a NFA firearm; keep it to ourselves and never be in legal jeopardy because we simply lead a life that doesn’t involve interactions with law enforcement. There isn’t anything morally wrong with owning registered NFA items or even the NFA-like loophole firearms and the more we normalize owning both then the better we will all be for it. Fear mongering over being on .gov lists and mass gun confiscations just plays into the idea that we are paranoid irrational people that deserve to be scrutinized. It’s also irrational to say someone asked for trouble by how they held firearm while using it. The main reason the definitions of handguns, rifles and shotguns is important in the NFA is to define them in terms of conceal-ability not lethality or how it’s conventionally used. I hope the current legal challenges will eventually lead to less legal restrictions and broader protections for people to own and use firearms Historically, we’ve actually seen this happen with the massive increase in states that permit and affirm concealed carry, and Supreme Court decisions that have further affirmed our 2A rights. Most gun owners act in a moral way that fits into our society and most of the firearms we own are not used in criminal activity. [/QUOTE]
