Trump can do an NFA amnesty period as leverage against anti-gunners to pass his agenda

so according to this site (if true) Trump can tell his Secretary of the Treasury to do as many NFA amnesty's as he wants which would allow illegal unregistered NFA items to be registered and also would allow LEA's to register their NFA items so they could be sold to normal civilians. that would be awesome imo and it would scare the crap out of anti-gunners and he could use the threat of an amnesty to pass some of his agendas.

thoughts on this? i wonder if he even knows about this? id think Trump would use that as threat to get stuff done.

Trmp is not smart. Trump is not savvy. Trump is not interested in making the US better. Trump is interested in Trump.

Yes but that's not a great analogy. We need a president, while living without illness is an option.

I'm having a little bit of a problem with that last one by itself.

Which Trump?

so from further research this is 100% legit. here is the pdf from ATF.GOV

https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/atf-n ... 3/download

i was wondering about this one sentence though. "Requests for further amnesty periods have been denied"

does that mean a former president tried to do another amnesty but was denied?

also im wondering about this quote

"Note also that ATF will not approve the making of a machine gun it determines would
violate 18 U.S.C. 922(o). Section 922(o) generally prohibits the possession of machineguns
manufactured on or after May 19, 1986."

so if im understanding that does it mean normal people could only register currently illegal unregistered pre may 1986 guns?

so for example if the amnesty was opened today someone couldn't convert their AR to full auto with all modern parts and register it?

He isnt going to do s--t. He's a con man pure and simple and doesnt give a rats ass about the 2nd amendment. Having said that he couldnt much about machine gun about amnesty without an act of congress . He could authorize an amnesty of pre 1968 stuff but thats about it. Dewats and war trophies mostly. Thats not going to happen. There is a whole lot of stuff he could do by E.O. to allow for gun imports etc that doesnt apply to machine guns but i'm not holding my breath.

The way to go after the Hughes amendment is the taxation angle. It is a federal crime to interfere with the collection of a tax. The Hughes amendment blocks the collection of the $200 NFA tax.

This is the kind of amnesty I would support... which makes me a dreamer.
