Mine was mailed Jan 7, check cashed Jan 17 for a Powders Springs MAC 10. I am a test case! Guys I am confident that with the new opinion that supersedes the Kelly PROHIBITION opinion that we get mg's and silencers period with no further clarification of anything needed.
Thats what the true beauty and genious of the superseding opinion was all about. When Cox struck that opinion down it had the explicit effect of LIFTING THE PROHIBITION or ban of machine guns or weapons equipped with a silencer under Michigan law.
So even if Cox's opinion does not use the word silencer or mention them the effect of the supercision if you will was to lift the prohibition by opinion of mg's and silencers under state law. As of right now under Michigan law both are legal to possess if the transfer has been approved by the Director BATFE.
ATF will not approve anything period to anybody if it would place the transferee in violation of state or local law. If there is no violation of state or local law ATF must approve the transfer.
When we started this thing the goal was to lift the prohibition thereby removing the violation of state or local law as this was the only thing stopping ATF from approving transfers. This goal was achieved and as I see it ATF must approve mg's and cans period.... period.....period.....
They can hym and haw about it but the fact of the matter is they must approve - this is federal law. Perhaps this is whats taking ATF so long to make a public policy regarding Michigan persons. Even if the MSP were trying to tell ATF what the law means and saying silencers don't count cuz the opinion don't say it - ATF has to protect thier asses because if they refuse to transfer stuff and they don't analyze the law and come up with the right determination they will find themselves being sued to force the transfers based on faulty information and failing to follow the established federal law.
Does this stuff make sense to you guys?
Please donate to Attorney General Mike Cox re-election campaign - he has made it a possibility for you to own mg's and cans!
