First, a little backstory to understand the situation. My dad is a counter-narcoterrorism (just counter-narcotics but whatever) contractor with the DoD in Afghanistan. In the course of our normal correspondence I mentioned to him that the AWB won't be renewed, and his reply to this new information was this:
So, I know enough about the AWB to know that it sunsetting doesn't make importing automatics legal suddenly, but I'm wondering if anyone has even the slightest idea how we could possibly try bring it back legally. I'll definitely be consulting an attorney on this if there's any chance, but I'm asking here really to get an idea from you guys (I was told this is the place for info) as to what my chances are here.The AWB didn't get renewed? Does that mean it's ok to import automatic weapons again? My buddies just gave me an old AK-74 to use as a car-gun. It's got a short barrel and folding stock. Never thought about bringing it back though. It'd be a pretty cool souvenir if it's legal to bring back.
