Reading about people who are curious about making/owning SAMs kind of puts the whole machinegun thing in perspective.

Doesnt that mean the ATF and the NFA/DD tax?
That also allows Hughes and other military armaments manufacturers to design, build and test the things - illegal without that exception - and allows the Army to practice fire them and to use them in combat. It allows the FedGov to sell them out of the country - Stingers for Afghanistan, anyone?I would agree with Kharn's assessment. It just doesn't seem right that the government forbids something but gives themselves permission to do it. Where is the check and balance in that equation?
UHHH comon there is no way that owning something like that is legal.
I don't know what law says so but I'm SURE there is more then one.
They just don't let civilians own things that are made to go flying off into the air and then blow up!! And for good reason.
Assuming for the moment that it were legal to tax stamp the launcher as a DD, would you have to stamp each rocket as a DD also?
