You are obviously uninformed.

The Hughes Amendment was introduced by Rep. William J. Hughes (D-N.J.) in a House that was controlled by the Democrats (253 D, 182 R). When the Bill went to the Senate, the Republicans had to accept the House bill or be left entirely empty-handed.

This is basic politics. Obama begrudgingly accepted National Park Carry because it got attached to a larger bill that was more important to him. Similarly, Reagan had to accept the Hughes amendment because it was attached to many positive changes in the bill, including FOPA.

To say it is a "Republican gun control law" is either ignorant or willful deception, as it certainly isn't accurate.

They are clearly advertising them as legally transferable. Actually, they state they have a written opinion from the BATFE NFA branch. If their advertising is wrong, then they are liable for damages.

The guns will first be held by your SOT Class 3 FFL. You'll know they are legal when they are transferred to you. If they aren't transferable, I'd expect the seller to make good.

Only an FFL with proof of payment of class 3 special occupational tax can actually bid on the items. However, the FFL can then transfer these to anyone who goes through the normal NFA $200 tax stamp process. These are pre-'86 transferable M16A1's from the TN Dept of Corrections.

So if you want an M16, find yourself an FFL to bid on your behalf! If these are in good operational condition, market value is probably $15-17k each.

Based on a determination from the National Firearms Act office of the BATFE, these weapons are not subject to the restrictions stated in Public Law 99-308. Individuals may, upon proper approval by BATFE and in accordance with the State and local laws of their place of residence, possess these weapons.
