It allows Hollywood to buy new MGs. Yeah, it's a baby step, but it's probably the only MG expansion we could get, considering the current make up of Congress. |

If Hollywood's feeling the pinch on their movies, it will only get more expensive for them, and they might eventually switch to "our" side in the debate. At least, it makes sense to me. Any flaws with that line of thought? |

Hollyweird is pushing still pushing their BS and just want to make sure they are armed.
This needs more investigation. What is the catch and how are they going to screw us? |

A quick scan of it; yes. I'm going to really read it though. Pulling teeth of federal agencies is always a win. Next on the list: EPA |

hollywood needs new blank MG's??? Why so they can make a movie about how easy it is to obtain a MG or further exploit guns in general they've done a bang up job as it is now. Hollywood has done nothing good for our cause nor for the residents of Cali, I didn't see them standing up to AWB nor the right to defend ones life in that commie state. They along side of politicians are a voice to be heard.
Its like opening a can of worms now, allow congress to change that and you give them a foot in the door to introduce more gun control...see we reformed that law but we want to add more control measures to other areas. |

cliff notes- what does it do? Gunsmiths no longer have to maintain a manufacturing license if they are sporterizing military firearms. |

Looks like CRC went full-auto. Does he have the proper licensing for that?

The only law I want to see is:
"The BATFE is hereby abolished and the NFA and the Gun Control Act of 1968 and all related laws are repealed in their entirety." |

Add a poll to see how many ARFcom-ers actually care. If past polls are any indication, 1/3 will actually take action, 1/3 will just armchair commando the issue, and the final 1/3 simply doesn't care. |

i'm calling in support, but i honestly am 110% AGAINST allowing new and easier to obtain MG's for film-makers. with CGI as good and cheap as it has become, the film industry (which has done its' level-best to un-gun america) has no need for any new guns, let alone new MG's. |

According to Gov Tracker, This is what all the Judiciary Commitee has on its plate:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/committee.xpd?id=SSJU Literally hundreds of bills infront of SB941. I don't see this getting moved up to quickly. But IDK Durbin, Feinstein, and Feingold sit on the Committee among others. |

Quoted: Would reform machine gun laws: S.941 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Reform and Firearms Modernization Act of 2009 (Introduced in Senate) I don't like or support this bit. It doesn't make it any easier for a regular joe to own machine guns. Only makes it easier for certain people. I'm against any law that doesn't apply evenly to everyone. Exceptions for hollywood? Fuck that! |

Cool I HAVE a film company,
Turn out some movies on the truth of machine guns and crime, 922o is next then. ETA: Called and left a message. |
