Rather than quote the sources and have to give copyright information you can check the websites yourselves. Apparently, CLEO approval is not needed but CLEO notification is - a big change!

It was interesting the NFATCA, a collectors association, petitioned the ATF for these rules changes. I can see why all involved would want more accountability on the part of the member(s) of a trust owning a NFA select fire fire firearm but suspect there are other motivations for the National Firearms Act Trade & Collectors Association requesting these rule changes. If anyone has more insight please chime in.

I cannot recall which upper level government official (?Loretta lynch?)made a reference this week about these new rule changes in the context they were working on gun control measures that would make us safer ...... which reminded me I couldn't recall any time in which a select fire weapon (or other NFA weapon) was used by a citizen in a criminal act.

They are few and far between. That crazy bank holdup and street shootout in LA a number of years ago MIGHT have involved a full auto weapon but I can't recall for sure.

Are you telling me that TV and movie guns don't count? Or what the news says?

I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

They were illegally modified - I think he's referring to legally held NFA items

Yes, few and far between, but they have happened...

In 1983, a Baltimore drug dealer named Anthony Grandison contracted a hit man to kill two witnesses in a pending federal case against him. The killer, Vernon Evans, used a MAC-10 and fired 17 rounds into the two victims. (They were not co-conspirators, they were simply employees at a hotel, and their testimony would have placed Grandison at that hotel at the time a drug transaction took place.) He walked into the hotel, approached them at the front desk, shot them and left.

Both Grandison and Evans were sentenced to death, but after the usual years of appeals, etc., their sentences were commuted when Maryland abolished the death penalty several years ago.
