Gun Owners defends machine guns in court brief
Wednesday, January 6, 2016 | Chad Groening (OneNewsNow.com)
A gun rights organization has gotten in a court case involving machine guns and their legality.
Gun Owners of America has filed an amicus brief in the case U.S. v. Watson that's pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
At issue is the constitutionality of a portion of the 1986 McClure-Volkmer legislation, which prohibits the manufacture and possession of machine guns by Americans unless they were registered prior to the date of the act.
The legal case involves a family trust that had applied to manufacture an M16 and challenged the ATF's eventual denial of that application.
Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, says the argument is that machine guns are different from other firearms and therefore not protected by the Second Amendment.
