    West Virginia Effort To Deregulate Machine Gun Purchases Spreads To Nearby Kentucky

    A measure that would make it legal to purchase new machine guns in West Virginia is making its way through the legislature and also catching the interest of some other states.
    In May 1986, the purchase of new machine guns was banned by the federal government. But, within the ban, there is an exception. States, and those who are “under their authority,” may possess machine guns according to federal law.

    According to a national alert from Gun Owners of America (GOA), while a transfer of a machine gun from a dealer or a fellow citizen might be prohibited, an exception exists for states to transfer machine guns to individuals. And the best part? The federal government agrees.
    A West Virginia bill would allow the state to sell modern machine guns to qualified adults using a federal legal loophole.

    In this scabholed state, you can possess a MG, have had them for over 50 years.
    The fun part is that you are banned from having over 10 rounds in anything, including belts from what I understand.
    The thing is that all my mag's and belts are pre any-ban.
    Don't no matter, can't afford to shoot them anyways.

    With the 2 meg limit on pictures, it looks like none of mine will fit on this sight.

      All well and good, getting anything out of the shithole that is NFA.
      I just can't for the life of me, understand why there doesn't seem to be as much movement on suppressors.

      I just want to make my own,
      Have my dog safe from the BATFEces fucks,
      And be left the hell alone.
