Given the significance of this, if they actually sent you a stamp to build an MG I wouldn't be surprised if BATFE is sending agents to your local post office and/or to pull it out of your mailbox. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I see the cat is out of the bag on this one...Not surpised ATF did that. I was shocked when I heard a buddy had an approval. Curious to see how this ends.

Your major mistake was that you answered and talked to them on the phone.
You basically blew most of your legal rights as you are now on record as being officially advised of a mistake made by them. All before you actually had the stamp in your actual hands. I can see a major difference between stamp in hand and then being advised AND no stamp in hand and being advised of the error. |

"The impression I got from the agent was they would still consider it a violation to manufacture a MG even though I have a stamp."
You need to contact a firearms lawyer ASAP, after we can set up an account to take donations. |

Count me in. I want a MG in the worst way - but it is impossible for me to have one with the price of them I want an MP5SD in the worst fucking way. THE WORST. FUCKING. WAY.
If this opens up the loophole for me to get one - I'll consider it a cost of doing business. |

Won't work that way. Any person listed on the trust is part of the trust. The legal nightmare the ATF has jumped into with this is mind blowing. The more I think about it and the more I realize that ATF hasn't looked at some very important court cases and Federal law.... well folks, they done fucked up in a major way. Will the ban be nullified? I'd say there is a 20-30% chance. I'm not going to go into detail until I have a chance to talk to a few people but I think this also is going to do severe damage on a few other fronts in the firearms field that is going to make ATF cringe bad. The libtards are going to be screaming bloody murder over this. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Sure, they'll approve the transfer to the trust, then charge the trustee with possessing an unregistered machinegun when he picks it up. Because a person has to pick up the machinegun, not the piece of paper that is the trust. Won't work that way. Any person listed on the trust is part of the trust.

He didn't use definite language on that point? Now I REALLY want to see what they say in response to your cover letter. Or if they just ignored it and sent a flat denial with no responsive reason for the denial, a followup letter pointedly asking for an opinion. |

Quoted: Anyone have SAF's contact information? I'm not sure how keen they would be on a machinegun case given some of their Supreme Court arguments, but it's worth a shot. Unfortunately I don't have enough money to hire a lawyer myself. I'm not even sure if their is much a lawyer can do. View Quote As a fellow Marine artilleryman, and a gun lover extraordinaire, I am in for $2000 dollars towards your legal fees if Alan Gura or someone else takes your case to bat against the ATF and it results in us being able to get new Form 1s for MGs approved. Counting those above me, this could put you at $2400 so far. |

FBATFE, build MG. Then if they try to recover the stamp, you have an MG to defend it with!

So... should I go ahead and form a trust in anticipation of a small window of open registry?

Very interesting...

Well this thread just more interesting. Hope the sender of the form 1 has his ducks in a row with a lawyer.

There are several people out there with approved eF1s for an MG via a trust. They all got calls today revoking the approved status and emails changing their "approved" form status to "disapproved."
I was told the number of eF1 Trust MG applications was "several hundred." |
