No.
No.
That one?
West Virginia is introducing GOA-backed legislation to restore lawful machine gun transfers.
And the reason that they're doing that is because... Let's see.
I've got it saved here.
Hold on.
I had it in my section, but I saw it in Savage's, so I skipped mine.
Yeah, go read the actual article.
So the interesting part here is that the Hughes Amendment, or Post-86 Machine Gun Ban, actually does exempt transfers by a state.
It says, and I quote, 18 U.S.
Code 922, Section 0...
Line two and a, the subsection does not apply with respect to a, a transfer to or by or possession by or under the authority of the United States or any department or agency thereof or a state or
or a department agency or political subdivision thereof or.
And so what they're saying is that theoretically, based on the wording of the Hughes Amendment, that government transfers are exempt from the NFA $200 tax and that theoretically any state can create an agency to sell machine guns to law abiding citizens.
Oh, that'd be cool.
By the letter of it.
And so legislators in West Virginia have introduced this GOA-drafted bill to sell transferable post-86 banned machine guns to law-abiding citizens.
And transfers under SB 1071 would be legal under federal law, including the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Hughes Amendment.
I don't know.
