Good info J.F.! Thanks!

Not to change directions of the thread, but salty's question got me to thinking of what were the differences in the 2 laws? What I remembered was that:

1.) The NFA of 1934 banned open sales of fully automatic weapons and thus establishing the infamous $200 tax stamp, a national registry of fully automatic weapons, and the system of transferring of same.

2.) The GCA of 1968 banned catalog sales of ALL firearms categories; a system of firearms purchases through FFL's (except private sales). I know I've left out a lot of important stuff, that's important to others, but only what was a concern to me is what I remembered.

I ran across an interesting, but short article regarding the history of gun control:

"History of gun-control legislation".

And oddly enough, I find it somewhat factual.

Good and valid question a.g.a.w.(forgive the abbreviation but your handle is too long to type. lol), but wouldn't a full auto shoulder arm come under the regulation of the National Firearms Act of 1934, instead of the GCA of 1968? I must admit my knowledge of full auto ownership is sorely lacking, but I've never had but a passing fantasy of owning one.
