We kind of turned the tables with FOPA 1986. (Among other things) It repealed the requirement that an FFL 01 was needed in order to sell ammunition. It allowed interstate commerce of ammunition sales once again. It rolled back the ammunition part to where it was before the 1968 GCA. (Unfortunately it had the Hughes Amendment in it-but that is another subject).That is not demanding enough. How about demanding the repeal of the whole NFA? Unrealistic? Sure. There will be intense resistance to such a demand. So we do what the antis always want us to do--we compromise. And accept the removal of suppressors from the NFA. For health reasons. Then we come back in the next session of Congress and demand the repeal of the NFA and GFSZA. And compromise by accepting the removal of SBRs.
That's how the antis do it and that is why we keep complaining that we keep compromising ant they keep winning. Let's just turn the tables.
About the issue of convicted felons possessing firearms after they served their sentence. Repealing the Federal Firearms Act of 1938 and repealing the 1968 Gun Control Act would take care of that issue. Prisoners in prison cannot possess guns, its pretty simple.
Remember we went 192 years without a major gun control law in this nation (1776 to 1968) and we did fine. 162 Years if you count the 1938 Federal Firearms Act or 158 years if you count the 1934 NFA.
Can the 1934 NFA, 1938 Federal Firearms Act and the 1968 Gun Control Act be repealed? Maybe those can be one of our demands, to repeal those laws. Why not try?
Actually don't use the the word repeal, 'restoration' is a better word. We want to restore the Second Amendment to where it was before the NFA 34, FFA 38 and 68 GCA took place.
In addition to the above, we should restore the Second Amendment to where it was before...the following laws were passed. (In other words repeal the following).
The Hughes Amendment (gone if we repeal the NFA)
The Lautenberg Amendment
The Gun Free School Zone
The Ban on Chinese Norinco's
The Ban on "Non Sporting" Rifles
The Ban on import restrictions
The Universal Background Checks in States that have them (on the basis that they are a violation of the Second Amendment-which they are).
Can we demand the above? Should we demand the above? Yes? Call it the Second Amendment Restoration Act. It has a nice ring to it.
