As it stands, virtually
anyone who can purchase a Title I firearms (regular rifle, pistol, or shotgun) can buy a Title II Firearm (MG, SBR, SBS, AOW, DD); unless state or local law precludes such. And, in 2007, the $200 tax stamp is no where near the intrusion it was in 1934 bacuse of inflation and increased salaries. The biggest hurdle is the
village idiot (CLEO) signoff (not a cop bashing comment
). , however that can easily be avoided in most states with either LLC, Corporation, or even an
intervivos trust (those all file under the corporation or business entity option).
Your last two options are virtually the same.
As a general rule, I believe that
anyone should be able to acquire and enjoy all the Title II firearms they desire. My only issue is that the idiots you see on youtube with semi's mihgt think that f/a could make some Darwinistic videos. Hopefully dealers and collectors would have enough sense to not sell to those who are imature.
What would need to be rolled back is 922(o), which has casued the superinflation of machine gun values.
