re: #44 William Barnett-Lewis
That’s part of the misunderstanding. You could, in fact, own one. Get the paperwork approved & pay all the appropriate fees & taxes. There is almost nothing that is actually banned under the NFA. Highly regulated, yes, and getting your chief of local law enforcement to sign off on the paperwork can be a problem, but in the end, if you have enough money and desire you could legally own a missile like the Standard.
Approval can be, shall we say, difficult. Jacques Littlefield imported two non-functional Scud missiles and while the first one made it through customs, the second one didn’t because it wasn’t non-functional enough. Mr. Littlefield has passed away in the intervening years, but his military vehicle collection still is located in the next town over.
There will be no one coming to take away our rights!
