Well apparently the ATF has approved a few Form 1 post 86 MG's for trusts. The earliest stamps were received in August with others in early September.Armorer-at-Law wrote:Did Joshua Prince point out an interesting conundrum in the law/regulations? Sure he did. Will ATF accept his argument and approve a Form 1 for a new machine gun? I doubt it. Will a court accept his argument and order ATF to approve a Form 1 for a new machine gun? I also doubt it.

Re: New machine guns legal for trust, possibly
True but it does form the basis for a lawsuit to challenge the ATF on. I know you posted that you have seen at least 6 lawsuit attempts in the past 10 years but if we quit fighting them then they automatically win.

I would like to know how many people own Suppressors only because they were forced to get a Trust because their CLEO refused to sign off.raymond- wrote:BATF publishes annual stats on categories of NFA firearms. it's more like 500k registered, so the question is how many people more than 1...2...3... etcBendersquint wrote:Do you have a cite for this figure?LawBob wrote: This is the only reason 200,000 people own silencers today.

Not quite. I would venture around 40-50% max.LawBob wrote:I would like to know how many people own Suppressors only because they were forced to get a Trust because their CLEO refused to sign off.

First case has been filed http://www.scribd.com/doc/245057730/Hol ... -Complaint
It's my understanding that at least two more separate cases will be filed.

Complaint #2: Plaintiff received an approved Form 1 and built a MG. Plaintiff happens to be an attorney. #2 is filed in PA by a different attorney than #1. This is an excellent read http://www.scribd.com/doc/246633381/Wat ... lder-et-al
Which district and state will Complaint #3 be filed in?
Hollis vs Holder, Watson vs Holder, and ??? vs Holder are available once filed at this link http://www.sdslaw.us/#!nfa-cases/c1xu9
Re: New machine guns legal for trust, possibly
That covers the 3rd Circuit and the 5th Circuit, 9 more to go.
Re: New machine guns legal for trust, possibly
Just curious but what happens when Holder leaves office shortly? Does the buck get passed to the next AG or is he still required to show up?

Re: New machine guns legal for trust, possibly
Any AG has a moral/ethical obligation to represent the "state's interest". You can of course argue that the "state's interest" is a moral aberration to begin with, as such the AG should not defend it. But, according to the law and the lawyers code, they have an obligation to represent to the best of their ability their client, or in this case employer.propeine wrote:Just curious but what happens when Holder leaves office shortly?
