And while we are all focusing on the federal government and the enforcement of federal laws, do not forget Section 46.05 which makes it illegal to have, among other things, machine guns and silencers. The local officers could still arrest for this because it is a state law. As a matter of fact, since the defense in the state law is that the weapon was possessed pursuant to registration under the NFA, it could be argued that we would lose the defense since that would be enforcement of the federal law.

I support the concept of bills like this, but I honestly doubt their feasibility. I think they are constitutional because they do not negate the law itself, just stop non-federal officials from enforcing them.
