I have not seen the similarity mentioned but it seems to me that the way the DC ban on post 1976 (I think) pistols is worded is nearly identical to the way the federal ban on post 1986 Machine guns is worded. Basically anything before that date is legal to own, but anything after that date is banned.
IMO this would mean that if the DC pistol ban is overturned, even if some regulations of pistols are allowed, the Fed ban would also not past 2nd ammendment muster and have to be overturned as well.
Of course the standard NFA regulations regarding $200 tax stamp and background check, and sign-off could still stand.
Does this argument have any legal merit?
