Scumbags. And last i heard, transferring a NFA item, even for free, requires taxes to be paid and background checks to be run first. This was a crime. Borderline straw-man purchase too.
"As Biden administration employees prepare to leave their positions a curious exchange was noted between outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
While addressing Garland, Wray offered him a special gift: “So, on behalf of the 38,000 men and women of the FBI I’d like to present to you, your very own Tommy Gun.”

Yeah but those laws are for thee, not for "me".
If they were, nobody in the ATF should be able to pass NICS.
New York ( i think state ) is trying to force background checks on buying an additive manufacturing device ( 3D printer, common term but worded it that way as they will want to register subtractive machining next.. mills and lathes )
All because you might, possibly, maybe, make a gun part. Which is actually legal to do anyway. I assume that means kids cant own a printer now?
What is next, armed guards at the local hardware store and only letting in licensed contractors?
Its just an regional appellate court so i'm sure it will end up with SCOTUS eventually but seems they finally struck down that rule about requiring you to be 21 to purchase a gun. 18 is an adult. Arbitrarily restricting adults contitnual rights is wrong. Either remove those restrictions, or raise the age of adulthood to 21. Else its a legal contradiction and needs to be gone.
Next, should strike down alcohol rules too, but the risk there is the entire 21st amendment might get overturned, and we end up with prohibition again. Not that i'm a drinker so it would not effect me personally if it vanished, but we saw what happened last time that took place and it effected everyone, and not in good ways. ( and was wrong anyway )

That old gag. 18 for responsibilities, 21 for privileges. Things
worked better when they handed you a rifle at 12 but you had to be 35
to vote.
This ties to something I really loved about an old TV show named "Fury: the story of a horse and the boy who loved him". It's from the 50s.
I noticed early on the show hailed from a totally different culture than my own native one. The farm had rifles hanging on the walls. And when Boy Scouts went on a trip they packed knives and axes.
Show a kid chopping wood with an axe here and somebody will scream bloody murder :(
By the way, the series was golden. Go watch it.
