GOA Files Legislation to Create Legal Machinegun Ownership

Here's how we did it...


Dear William,
 
GOA has drafted model legislation to legally sell post-1986 machineguns to citizens. And officials in several states are chomping at the bit to introduce this bill.
 
But here’s the great news: West Virginia is now taking the lead!
 
That's right. State Legislators in West Virginia just introduced a bill, SB 1071, authored by Gun Owners of America, to sell machineguns to citizens legally.
 
This bill would create
State-Operated Machinegun Stores.
 
Read on and learn more...


 

 

 
ICYMI: On May 19th 1986, the purchase of new machineguns was banned by the federal government.
 
But, within this ban there is an exception.
 
States, and those who are "under their authority," may possess machineguns according to federal law.
 
While a transfer of a machinegun from a dealer or a fellow citizen might be prohibited, an exception exists for the States to transfer machineguns to individuals.
 
The best part? The federal government agrees.
 
In a recent lawsuit, the Department of Justice argued that the ban on machineguns does not apply to transfers done by the government.
 
This means you can own a machinegun, no more ridiculous prices, no collectors tax.
 
 

 

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State”


 

What could be a better “well regulated Militia” than a citizenry armed with machineguns? 
 
Our legislation fully comports with the text history and tradition of the Second Amendment.
 
Every State should be incentivized to maintain the security of a free state by arming its citizens with the most modern equipment possible.
 
And that’s why I’m asking you to help GOA spread this legislation to more states in the country.
 
Here's what you can do to help...


 

 

 

 

 

We’ve been working to gut the National Firearms Act for decades.
 
Last year, GOA spearheaded efforts in Congress to repeal most of the NFA’s taxes. Then, we filed suit to challenge the registration requirements with our One Big Beautiful Lawsuit. 
 
Now, we’re tackling the prohibition on machineguns with West Virginia.
 
If you aren't already, please consider becoming a GOA member so that we can fight for your right to own machineguns.
 
And if you are already a member, we thank you. Will you please now consider making an additional contribution to help us make even more states machinegun compliant?
 
Thank you in advance for your help!
 


In Liberty,
 

Erich Pratt,
Senior Vice President
Gun Owners of America

I suggest that "we" be damn careful what we wish for.  If the full-auto weapons are going to be transferred from a governmental entity to private hands, there's gonna be a cat's cradle of strings attached.

 Wish them luck. Doesn't interest me that much. Shot a couple full auto's years ago. Didn't really impress me that much, and with the price of ammo/reloading now days, even less. Guess I'm interested more in accuracy than speed, so stick with my semi auto's.

[Ranger99]

Not interested in any full auto myself,
but I feel that a law abiding citizen
should be able to buy whatever they
can afford. I equate that with the guys
I've known who buy safari type double
rifles and the chassis type rifles just
because they can, and will never
realistically use them for their intended
purpose. Mainly for fondling and
watching television shows with it in
their lap.
I've always held the opinion that
those who aren't trustworthy and
shouldn't possess firearms and
knives, etc. shouldn't be roaming
freely among the honest law abiding
citizenry.
These unhinged or renegade types
need to be behind many layers of
tall barbed wire fences, or laid
deeply under the soil, whichever
is appropriate in their case.
Honest law abiding citizens should
never have to live in a fortress
with a plethora of surveillance
cameras and alarms etc.

          It was Reagan who signed the law that made it impossible for any one without a proper class Fed. permit to buy a new machine gun.
I was at a gun show looking at a Thompson that was selling for less than 3,000 dollars; the dealer said if you want one buy it now as when the law Reagan signed goes into effect the price will double at minimum.

          I did not have thousands of dollars for a gun that would be used for entertainment -  at that point.  My father was alive back then and if I had purchased one, he would have ripped me a new anal orifice verbally and then said - You bought the damn thing, let's go out and shoot it.

         Of course back then a thousand dollars was probably the equivalent of five thousand dollars now but as much as I wish I could get a full-auto Thompson, I would not trade the best firearms I bought in the following years for one that it is a hemorrhoid when dealing with gov. god wannabes in St. Paul nowadays.

Interesting pieces of hardware no doubt, but I can't afford to shoot one.

Personally, I wish the price of ammo would drop to the point that I could.

Those street urchins in Chicago are gonna love that!! Like the days of the old ‘Chicago Typewriter’.

unlike some i love playing with fast guns and if full auto was legal and they were sold at reasonable prices id be at the gun shop. cost of ammo? i have more ammo loaded than ill ever shoot and did it for the most part back when surplus powders were cheap and so were components. even today with higher costs i can run pc coated cast in all my pistol calibers for not much more than the cost of 22lr's and cast in the 556 takes a big bite out of the cost. i rarely go shooting with less than 500 rounds of ammo. do i really need one? nope. really i can scratch that itch with my binary and forced reset triggers for a few hundred bucks. all my pistol cal ars have binary triggers and about half my rifle cal guns have forced resets. beauty is if you dont want to spend big bucks you can build one lower with a binary and swap it on to any upper you want to play with. what ive found is double taps with a binary are much easer to keep on target than a full auto and i did quite a bit of training with full auto in the service. bottom lone is im no old fuddy duddy. shooting one puts a smile on my face like i was again a teenager. MANY have shot my guns and ive yet to see someone not smile or say "this is silly" now some of them wouldnt probably smile as much if they had to place an order for 500 rounds of ammo to blast up in an hour! but i dont worry about it. i have maybe 10 more years on this earth and im going to enjoy it. wife thought i was crazy buying a 35k harley last month. thought i was crazy when i bought a turbo side by side, my challenger and my boat but the funny thing is she sure wants to go with me!! they aint burying me with big bucks in the bank! id bet a dime against my house if ANY of you  that didnt know there was a bet and came to the range with me and a coffee can of ammo would dump only ONE mag and set the gun down and said im not interested! id also bet a dime against that new harley that after the first mag youd crack a smile and thats what shooting is all about. i dont need to do it every time i shoot but love the fact i can! if you cant afford it thats fine. say so, but dont bash it because you cant! i laughed last summer at my brother in law. he was shooting one of my 9mm ar pistols and was having a ball. when he was done he said fun but to expensive for me. he has a summer home in FL right on a golf course and doest bat an eyelash at spending 2 times more than it cost me to load a 1000 rounds of 9s to whack a flipping white ball around for 3 hours!
