Why can't the National Firearms Act be repealed?

[Anarchist420]

I heard that there weren't any school shootings prior to 1934.

If that's true, then the NFA sure hasn't helped.

Also, the Republicans are just as terrifying of gun grabbers as the Dems since the former could've (and should've) repealed it when Bush was President. Dr. Paul was the only Republican who supported repealing that and the Gun Free School Zones act.

Too bad the Republicans believe that the govt should be armed more than the people.

The Republicans are even as pro-tax as the Democrats since the former always opposed the payroll tax cut extension. The Republicans are like "cut taxes so the government can get more revenue hurr durrrr." What a bunch of dipshits. Not only are they buckets of hot ass shits, they're a threat to the people.

I guess the Republicans always supported the NFA because they're a bunch of pinko communist pinball bitch-asses scared for their own lives... that's the only explanation I can come up with.

Democrats = Republicans

Republicans = Democrats

We have the illusion of a two-party system, but in reality we only one party - the Council on Foreign Relations Party - which is owned and controlled by the big banks. We have a government of the banks, for the banks, and by the banks. That's why nothing ever really changes.

Excellent post. This is so true and I have been saying this but the forum is filled with too many partisan idiots each claiming their party is superior.

I'd even be willing to compromise at first; one small step at a time.

We can start with something like increasing the tax stamp for machine guns to $500-1000 but repealing the 1986 Hughes Amendment. I'd be ok with buying a brand new M4 for $900+1000 tax stamp instead of some worn out piece of pre-86 shit for $15,000.

Money talks in politics, sell it as increasing tax revenue.

NFA/GCA in and of themselves really aren't THAT big a hurdle, it's the bullshit 1986 Hughes Amendment that needs to go. The NFA/GCA passed only because they weren't a ban, just a tax. '86 made it a total ban, completely going against the "not a ban" compromises of NFA/GCA. Progressivism at it's finest.

The NFA had nothing to do with school shootings, it was about gangsters, and the violence from the prohibition era, which is completely retarded since it was passed after prohibition was repealed, and it's intent wasn't aimed at machine guns, it was aimed at concealable weapons, short barreled shotguns and rifles, and originally included normal handguns, since they, and shotguns, not machine guns, were what was used in the majority of prohibition era gang related crime.

Because both sides of the aisle make big money for the campaign funds by adding new machine guns to the transferable registry and selling them. A brand new MP5 for the government costs ~$800, and can be turned around and sold for $28,995.

Also there's no popular support for the repeal of the NFA. The average person thinks machine guns are totally illegal.

Prior to 1934 children did not spend hours per day in front of the TV watching violence. They didn't spend the rest of their time blowing people away on video games.

in 1934, parents were actually parenting and disciplined their children and demanded that the kids respect everyone.

Not only that, but prior to 1934, the U.S. government wasn't setting the ultimate example for its people by constantly going around the world bombing and invading every country with a few brown people in it.

The American people like to copy their government.

Any "law" that restricts your right to defend your life becomes of no importance the moment your survival is threatened. If my life is threatened and next to me lay a baseball bat and a fully automatic assault rifle I will not pick the bat because the other one is "illegal" and neither would you.

I have everything I need in my head to mill all the parts needed for an AK or AR, as well as suppressors. I will not hesitate should we see "the end of the world" in my lifetime and the ATF is the last thing on anyone's list of concerns.

"But, but, but... you don't need to pick up the bat or the rifle because the government is there to protect you, provide for you, and take care of you! Just dial '911' and the highwaymen, err, I mean policemen, will come and fill out a report! They may arrive 20 to 30 minutes after your head has been decapitated and tossed into a blender, but don't worry, the police will take care of it! They enjoy serving and protecting the living fuck out of you. They will probably even shoot your dog for you! You know, "officer safety" and all. You just have to have faith in our Lord and Savior Godverment!"

Why can't the Magna Carta be repealed?

I heard that there weren't any world wars prior to 1215.

If that's true, then the MC sure hasn't helped.
