Interesting comments. Further distinctions by caliber, meaning for particular military branches. The definition which matters to me is what is in the GCA and by extension NFA, as interpreted by the courts (bump stocks and FRTs). As to some other comments, I just finished a fresh salad and am about to heat up some leftover chili I made a couple days ago.

A third District Court case, Brown v ATF, in E. D. Missouri : https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/70994240/brown-v-bureau-of-alcohol-tobacco-firearms-and-explosives/?filed_after=&filed_before=&entry_gte=&entry_lte=&order_by=desc The ATF answer, while denying most things, did not really defend the registration requirement as much as simply acknowledging it is still part of the body of law and the ATF is tasked with enforcing it. The filing made 10/17, well before the Clyde letter: https://assets.nationbuilder.com/firearmspolicycoalition/pages/14003/attachments/original/1760971097/2025.10.17_019_D's_Answer.pdf?1760971097 While the DOJ makes denials to the extent they are proper by boilerplate, the filing did not make any arguments as such to defend the registration requirement. Also the usual things like: " 1. Plaintiff fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 2. The Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over one or more claims or requests for relief. 3. ... " The plaintiffs have since asked for summary judgment, will see how the DOJ responds. Cross motion? An argument? Silence? Agreement? At minimum, I expect the recent pattern of asking any relief be limited to the actual parties to the suit, and only in the region the court has jurisdiction, to continue (because reasons previously discussed).

The grabbers will just go gun to gun since really any can be (illegally) converted to full auto somehow.

I would have worked something like that. Back when I was in a suburb, I would set up my display in the afternoon and tear it all down before midnight. Had fog machines, a graveyard, carved fancy pumpkins, and even dressed up to answer the door (favorite costumes were Woody from Toy Story and Waldo (I'm here LOL)). A pumpkin pair I would have done if it was a thing back then would have been:

Stop giving the grabbers ideas.

A bit to lay out here. The OBBB reduced the NFA tax to $0 on certain items, but the parliamentarian determined removing the registration components involved policy (not financial). Two suits (District Court, N.D. Texas) are challenging the registration requirement: Silencer Shop v ATF: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/70709999/silencer-shop-foundation-v-bureau-of-alcohol-tobacco-firearms-and/ Jensen v ATF: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/71599866/jensen-v-bureau-of-alcohol-tobacco-firearms-and-explosives/ Both have plaintiffs complaints on file, and lots of housekeeping completed, but do not yet have a DOJ response. Enter Representative Andrew Clyde from Georgia's 9th congressional district. He has sent a letter (with numerous signatures) to Pam Bondi: The letter is a good read. Hopefully I will feel the same when I read the DOJ response to the two cases.

Ah, back in the old west, particularly near the southern border, when outlaws and revolvereros caused mayhem in each town they entered...

The ultimate limit of these financing methods is the 99 year lease.

From: https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/clips-vs-magazines/ " Before purists chime in, let me add that back in 1909 and 1910--as the United States was looking at adopting its first self-loading pistol for widespread issue--in U.S. Army Ordnance Dept. documents it referred to the detachable box magazine for what would become the U.S. M1911 pistol as, well, a clip. "

Still have making some of that on my bucket list.

Correction. This was denied cert as case number 25-296.

That is a question, how is the lore passed if it does not include the significance. Well, it was SciFi, or more specifically Space Opera touching on SciFi. Which right there requires a clarification and context. SciFi assumes some development in the context of science, and explores the ramifications. Space Opera is just a story with space travel. How would a toddler learn "an Egyptian slave, his stomach growling" before "I'm hungry" or "Cheerios!" or... I remember my kid saying "breakfast" to indicate hunger, specifically a request for Malt O Meal. Did take a few days* to figure that out and teach "breakfast," lunch," and "dinner," and expand this too "Malt O Meal for breakfast." As to stable vs unstable... The historic John or me? * Just to not leave a doubt, food was produced at some point with the apparent discomfort, and "breakfast" was a great clue. An earlier pre-language crankiness was not resolved until discovering a thread in in a bootie (knit shoe) was around a toe. not at all saying food was not provided for a few days until the meaning was fully understood.
