[ARCHIVED THREAD] - SBR Question

Posted: 10/15/2006 4:19:50 AM EDT

I am looking at purchasing my first SBR and was curious to know if the Men in black are going to be knocking at my door every month. My wife is not very happy with my desires. I don't have anything to hide, but my wife seems to think that the MIB will be invading her territory. is there anyone with any of these experiences? Is it worth it?

Owning an SBR does not give the ATF the right to randomly search your home without cause. They do randomly check up on FFLs; that's probably what you're thinking of.

As to one who is neither a FFL nor SOT, but only owns weapons regulated under the National Firearms Act, ATF may only compel you to show an agent upon request the registration paperwork, that is the Form 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or whatever else might have been used to register the weapon. See 26 U.S.C. sec. 5841(e). They do not have any right to compel you to produce the weapon. As always the Fourth amendment applies, and ATF may not enter your home or other place of storage of the NFA weapon, nor seize the weapon, without a warrant, or without falling under an exception the Supreme Court has created to the operation of the Fourth amendment, or without your consent.
