re: #161 chunkymonkey

Good point, “expert” may be too strong. I do possess a Type 7 FFL and I have to act within the laws, which are many and strongly coupled. I’m not a lawyer who specializes in ATF/FFL regulations, if that’s what you’re getting at. 25 years programming experience and you’re not an expert? In that case, who the heck is?

thank you

In that case, who the heck is?

well, that’s partly my point

Type 7 FFL is a Title 1 manufacturer of firearms, ammunition and ammunition components other than NFA, Destructive Devices and Armor Piercing ammunition

Machineguns, Sound suppressors, Short-Barrel Rifles and Shotguns, and Any Other Weapons (AOW) — such as forward AR broomsticks on pistols, are all regulated and taxed under the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) as amended by Title 2 of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968. NFA is managed by IRS rather than ATF. These are called III, NFA or AOW by ATF.
Semi-auto and all other firearms except large-bore or explosive Destructive Devices are regulated under Title 1 of the Gun Control Act (GCA).
