I was thinking of this exact question last week. I thought of everything from receipts to taking pictures in front of some building being built! I think the best way would be to go the affidavit route and get maybe an LEO to sign off a description or better yet, an ATF official. That would be a kick!

All you would have to do is take a pic and mail it to yourself. The USPS would provide the proof of the date it was mailed.

Quoted: As a city cop I know that I would sign and help prove the above for anyone and everyone I could! So your job conveys some sort of notary public authority? I can certainly understand one citizen acting as witness for another, and if the witness is of good character, so much the better. But I am confused as to where holding a job working for the city as a cop comes into play? When you say, "As a city cop..." does that mean you'd provide documentation that conveyed some special authority derived from your job? Would this documentation given "as a city cop" be written on department letter head? What exactly does being a city cop have to do with the veracity of any document you may sign, Stick? |

1.) The way I understand it, it is legal to manufacture a firearm for yourself, without a lisence, as long as you're not making a business of it.
2.) IIRC, manufacturers providing written proof that a pre-ban was built before the cutoff date is adequate proof that your pre-ban is legal. 3.) Taking those two above, would it not work that you simply document that you manufactured an assault weapon on that date? |

Quoted: prove that you added evil features or bought LEO/EXPORT/GOVT mags in the interim when the ban was out of force. I realize if the ban was out of force for day the ATF would assume it was never out of force but what about 3 days, a week, 2 weeks, ect? Would you need to permanently keep a reciept? What if you bought mags from a LEO friend? CRC Don't you guys get it? IF the date reaches 14 Sept 2004, (Here is the important part...) ...AND THERE IS NOT A NEWLY APPROVED AW BAN, the term preban and postban are OBSOLETE. Period. ALL AR's are now "Just ARs". IT WILL BE AS IF THE LAW NEVER HAPPENED. IF YOU FIND A LEO MAGAZINE ON THE STREET, GUESS WHAT? WHERE IS NO LAW INEXISTENCE ANYWHERE THAT WILL ENFORCE THAT. WANT TO ADD A BAYO LUG AND COLLAPSIBLE STOCK TO YOUR RRA? NO PROBLEM! WANT TO BUY A LEO RECEIVER FROM A COP ON 14 SEPT 2004? WELL, WRITE A CHECK OR GIVE HIM CASH, BECAUSE IT WON'T MATTER! WHY, YOU ASK? Because when the law sunsets, they rip it up, wipe their buttocks with it after a night of eating at Taco Bell, and then they burn it. It ceases to exist. all provisions, GONE. Al restrictions: gone. The need to carry a serial numbers list with you to gun shows to make sure it was assembled before 13 sept 94? GONE. I'll put this in red so everyone sees this: [red]IF THIS STILL CONFUSES YOU, ONCE THE DATE REACHES 14 SEPT 2004 (AND NO NEW AWB), IT WILL BE AS THOUGH WE TIMETRAVELED BACK TO 1989, THE DAY AFTER THE IMPORT BAN PASSED.[/red] IF they try to pass a NEW ban AFTER the sunset date, they would have to get rid of the grandfather clause, which would be damn impossible, since it would make americans CRIMINALS by passing a law AFTER they had "Broken the law". That is too extreme for 80% of all gun HATERS, much less a NRA-rated "A". |

Roger Dodger Mugzi. As if there was never a ban! If the AWB law expires even for one hour before a new law is put in, only firearms manufactured after the date of the new law are affected. That's the way I see it. As for all this talk about letters and proof,it might be a good idea but I don't need them.

The new law could (theoretically) require all mags made post whenever to be marked LEO ONLY AWB2. That way they could tell which ones were made after AWB2. If it just said LEO ONLY it would be pre-ban.

Are cops not notary publics? When my mom was a records clerk for the PD, she was. Of course, she can't notarize for her own family, but I reckon I could get one of her friends to come notarize something if that were needed...

You could take a series of 35mm photos of the assembled firearms that display the serial numbers. On the back of each picture, print and sign an affidavit that said serial numbered receiver is assembled as pictured on that date, and have the pictures notarized (by a notary public, not a police officer). Make copies. Give the originals to your lawyer, and get a dated recipt from him.

Quoted: No Need to worry, This Ban is here to stay !!!!! [:D] From my Rep. Thank you for writing me regarding the possible reauthorization of the semi-automatic weapons ban. I always appreciate you taking the time to share your views on this issue. At this stage in the l08th Congress, it appears unlikely that House leadership will take action on a bill to reauthorize the assault weapons ban. Although Rep. McCarthy of New York has introduced such a bill, Majority Leader Delay noted that there is not enough support for H.R. 2038 to bring it to the floor. If this bill was brought to the floor, I would not support it. It could be the first step toward enacting bans on other weapons. I believe that gun control measures, such as registration and taxation, will do nothing to stop guns from falling into the hands of lawbreakers. Furthermore, the federal government should not be able to keep a registry of gun owners or tax individuals specifically because they own a gun. Individuals will always find a way to obtain guns in order to commit crimes, and additional restrictions on gun ownership will do nothing to combat crime. I am a firm believer in the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms. In the l08th Congress, I will maintain my commitment to protecting the rights of law abiding gun owners. Henry Brown |

Edited to add that being taken back to 1994 is at least a good thing, just not as good as going back to 1989, or better yet pre may 1986 when you could still manufacture a transferable machinegun.

A man can have a dream. IIRC, the BATFE web sites talks just a little bit about the criteria for deciding that a weapon is not sporting. Apparantly, after the '94 ban, they noticed that SAWs were usually able to accept high-cap mags. As such, they decided that guns that accept high-caps usually aren't sporting. If high-caps become legal, they MIGHT just decide that they're sporting again... |

I'm amazed at what ppl are still asking for pre ban AR15's right now. Do they know something Tom Delay doesn't know? Who will want a slabside green label Colt when you can go get a new RRA with all the goodies for less than a stripped slabside lower is going for now? Go check a gun list from 1992/3 and check the prices for Colt's and Bushmasters...that's where this is going. Some that same otherwise probably wished they invested in a Famas or a 550 because those are something that is truly rare...a Colt or a Bushmaster isn't.

A man can have a dream. Im always a sad person, the 1986 M gun ban went into effect 11 days after I was born. IMHO the NRA could do a little more for us (the "collector dudes" or "terrorist" depending on whos side your on) it seems like all they want is rights for deer hunters. One thing at a time though. The funny thing is that some of the countries that the VPC and CO. use as statistics usually have some kinda a collectors license for people wanting machine guns (Norway, New Zealand, Finland) and EBWs (except Japan where there are no guns and life is happy... yeah right). A question import guns though. If the companys (HK, SIG etc.) estabilshed manufactering centers in the US we could have the '89 guns right? Because then they would be US made guns. Just a thought. Also the people of the US of A are the largest arms market in the world by far. Money gets things done. |

In that instant that the ban expires, it would no longer be necessary to prove anything about the gingerbread you hang on your rifle. No receipts needed, no photos, as there would be no law to require it.
And some thing the current AWB requires you to prove your preban had those features. Before the ban, it was not necessary to document purchases of accessories or modifications. Also, other than bull target barrels, I never saw a simple crowned barrel on an AR15 before the ban. I never saw an AR without a bayonet lug either. To expect a gun owner to be precognizant of a future law, and be prepared to comply with a law not yet written, is unreasonable. And any reasonable jury would agree. |

Sec 922 (r) (U.S. parts count)was added a couple of months after the 89 ban , there was a brief period when parts could be imported then assembled here. 922 (r) says that you must have a certain ammount of US parts or the gun is considered "imported".

It's actually not up to the ATF on this, whatever the new laws says , would be what the law is. It could say anything before 9/94 is fine , and not allow and grandfathering of anything in the gap. Maybe if the pass the law on 12/04 then anything pre-12/04 will not be banned , if the new laws says we have to turn in all semis, no matter when they were made, well that will be the law then. This whole discussion is completely irrelavent , as we have no idea what the new law will read. Hopefully it will just go away. |
