"Taking some leads to all" logic doesn't really follow.

If that idea applied then the US would already not have guns as many types of firearms (ex. fully automatic) and weapons (explosive munitions) are heavily restricted (and have been for a very long time).



> are heavily restricted

They aren’t. Just pay the $200 tax and wait for the ATF to process your transfer form. (3 months to a year, generally)

Unless explicitly banned your state, if you can legally own a firearm, you can legally own an NFA item. Including explosives and automatic firearms.

Which is why the NFA is generally bullshit. It’s pointless extra bureaucracy that ultimately achieves nothing but delays.


Why is this downvoted? This is very much true.
