We've seen a Fed/State AWB before but they have had "Grandfathering" provisions. The Fed Bump Fire Device changed a legal accessory n a NFA restricted Machinegun without a Grandfathering Provision and mandated Devices be destroyed or surrendered to Gov Agencies. This was a Administrative "Change" that bypassed Congressional Authority (separate topic).
When you get approval and Tax Stamp, say you change a you Colt AR to a SBR. Per the NFA you or a Lic Mfg "manufactured" it to the NFA Registered configuration.
Question: In general, if a NEW AWB rolls out (without a Grandfathering Provision) which includes the oigional Colt AR: isn't the NOW NFA Colt "protected" from the Ban because it has legally been converted into another type firearm (SBR) per Fed Law? I think it would be protected unless the BAN was specifically expanded to include SBRs too.
I know it's trying to shield against an unknown, the NFA Registration route is a PITA and a little spendy but it has the potential for continued possession legality. Don't forget your life preserverrs on canoe trips. Lol
The DOJ power grab from BATFE Authority and OVERACH of DOJs Administrative Authority to change Congresses specific written intent is very concerning. That's amplified by Congresses inaction to address DOJs violation of Administration Rules. The presumption is Congress let it slide by so they didn't appear as if they opposed the Ban.
.
What will the next "administrative Change" bring.
While I'm on a roll, Feds changed the NFA and once again, did not insert their "Long Held OPINION" regarding the installation of a forward vertical fore grip on a handgun makes it a AOW! Remains an ATF Letter not since 06 and not incorporated into ANY FED LAW.
