A number of states have passed FFA laws. Here is an article about them:ifanyonecan wrote:Being new to this board, I was lurking back through the threads in this forum. I found a few talking about proposals and passages of laws in some states that declare them free of federal gun regulations because of the 10th Amendment.
So as I figure, this doesn't just apply to the matters I saw discussed in those threads, but it would also mean I could theoretically machine an automatic firearm (not modify an existing one or use parts to build one, I mean make a new one) and sell it, all without having the licenses for manufacture of firearms, manufacture of ATF firearms, possession of ATF firearms, and sale of ATF firearms. I would ideally be exempt from federal law because this whole process doesn't involve interstate commerce. To really cover my bases, I could manufacture it only from metals, etc. that were made in Texas, so it really doesn't have anything to do with interstate commerce. This would also need to take place in a state without its own laws about manufacture, possession, and sale of automatic weapons.
I understand that this is in no way realistic, since many lawmakers' toilet paper (read: the Constitution) is rarely upheld in the areas of gun rights. This is simply something I thought may be interesting to discuss.

Might have to be fought all the way to SC. The interstate commerce law has, IMHO, been perversed to give the feds power over the states. About time we started fighting back.
