So, born 1964 the NFA has been a thing my whole life. I remember Dad talking about “Saturday Night Specials” and the fact that he had some. One, for example, was a Herter’s single action.22 revolver. It’s extremely low price- even for those days- made it technically, legally, a Saturday Night Special.
I see lots of ‘chatter’ that the pro-2A rulings, such as the FPC and GOA have gotten recently, spell an end to the NFA. I think this is really just wishful thinking? Those rulings seem to be saying the ATF can’t make laws- but the NFA is law. In order to get rid of it, the law itself would have to be ruled unconstitutional, and I don’t see that happening.
Thoughts?
