"That Law" will never be repealed...
It's the 68-ammended NFA The problem is that open bolt guns are "readily convertable" to machineguns. The solution is to repeal 922(o), and get new FA MACs again... Or pay $2500 for a transferrable FA MAC.... |

Actually the rule forbidding open bolt semi's is a ATF ruling in 1982, prior to the ruling all MAC type semis were open bolt firing, the ATF decided that by being open bolt that it was to trivial to convert them to FA, they then applied that descision to all other types of firearms. You can still find open bolt semis made prior to the ruling, but they go for quite a premium ($800-1000) and you can get a registered FA MAC for under $2000 if you look hard enough.

That actually is, as stated, a ruling related to the '34 NFA. '94 AWB never did have anything to machine guns.
Also unrelated to the expired '94 AWB, barrels under 16" or overall length less than 26" ('34 NFA). Unrelated to importing "non-sporting" semiautos ('89 ruling as per order from President, deriving authority for their ruling from '68 GCA). You guys really need to read these laws. Yes, your eyes will cross and you will wonder who wrote this $#!+.
