ASK ME ABOUT CROSSING THE STREAMS


I always just assumed I could buy a machine gun anytime I wanted at a gun store or online. The only information I have on gun buying is for that one episode of The Simpsons, so admittedly I may not be an expert.

The closest you can get is to buy parts for a gun that's relatively close to a machine gun and modify it into being one, and then go to prison for doing so.

This sounds odd to say, but it's plausible. In layman's terms, it's legal to own a machinegun in the US by way of a $200 tax stamp and some paperwork, but it's illegal to own any produced after 1986. As such, there's a little over 100,000 registered receivers existing, and supply and demand has driven the prices sky high. A registered belt-fed, heavy caliber gun is at the top end of that spectrum, and a guy that owns one likely has an extensive collection of guns, automatic or otherwise.

Keep in mind that also, statistically, this is the safest type of firearm and least likely to be used in a crime.

Yeah a fully automatic Browning M2 is a pretty rare thing in civilian hands, if they found one with the serial numbers defaced there probably isn't a huge list of missing examples for them to check it against, and the legal owner would definitely report it.

Well, you can "own" a machine gun produced after 1986. As a non-military or non-law enforcement personnel, you would have to hold a Federal Firearms License, usually a Class 3 dealers license or a Class 2 manufacturers license, and you can own and sell what are called "post-samples", fully-automatic firearms that were made after '86 that you use to demonstrate to others how it functions and such. However, those licenses are moderately expensive, like $1000 tax per year, I believe you have to show that you're operating as a business, require letters from a local police department that they have a need for such guns and someone to deal to them, and if you give up your license, you either have to sell your post-'86 guns or destroy them.

Then there's this whole thing with "pre-samples", where former dealers can keep guns made between 1968 (when the Gun Control Act was passed) and 1986 ban was enacted, but they are non-transferable, meaning you can't sell them to another civilian. They can be transferred via estate transfer if you have proof of ownership paperwork, but if there's no paperwork, your only options are cutting the receiver group and selling it for parts or giving it to the police to handle (either using it or destroying it) or donating it to a museum.

This is accurate, but I was more referring to the average civilian collector. Actually reading the article a bit better, the owner in question was a manufacturer most likely, but again, I was just talking normal people for the sake of simplicity.

Ammon Bundy had intended refuge occupation to end up in civil court, lawyers say

quote:

Ammon Bundy led the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge intending to force a civil court to take up the constitutionality of federal land management policy, his lawyers contend in new court papers filed Monday.

He had expected the government to issue an eviction or ejection claim instead of arresting and indicting the occupiers on federal charges in criminal court.

But as he now sits in a Multnomah County jail facing conspiracy and weapons allegations, he's asking the court to dismiss the indictments, arguing that the federal government lacks jurisdiction over the land that includes the wildlife sanctuary in eastern Oregon's Harney County.


"The Malheur protest was aimed at raising this issue,'' his lawyers Mike Arnold and Lissa Casey wrote in the court documents. "Defendant Ammon Bundy organized his fellow citizens in protest of the expansive and unsupported interpretation of the Constitution that purports to allow the federal government to own and control more territory, and exercise jurisdiction over more land in the Western States, than the States themselves.''

Bundy, 40, is one of 27 people facing federal indictment stemming from the 41-day occupation of the refuge outside Burns. He's pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring to impede federal officers from doing work at the refuge through intimidation, threats or force, possession of a firearm or dangerous weapon at a federal facility and using and carrying a firearm in the course of a violent crime.

His lawyers assert that Bundy isn't a member of any militia, isn't an extremist and doesn't hold anti-government views -- underlining each contention in bold type in their 33-page motion and memorandum filled with lengthy footnotes.

They characterize Bundy as a constitutional originalist who adheres to similar philosophies as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork. They contend Bundy didn't lead an armed takeover of the refuge, but organized an "act of civil disobedience'' to lay claim to the land.

On the plus side, I think this proves that jail has had something of a humbling effect on Bundy. At least now he realizes that he should deny that he wanted revolution. He's still an arrogant idiot, but he's not completely convinced that he's invincible.

That makes a small amount of sense, albeit .01%. Pretty much every time someone squats on someone else's land, they aren't arrested for trespassing and it goes to the courts/sheriff as an eviction matter. It's completely discretionary for how the system treats it, and since these guys actually thought they'd have others on their side, I can see the logic in thinking this.

I did eviction crap for a living, including of government owned properties (fannie Mae) and sovcits that would break in, bar the door and whatnot would get treated with kid gloves. He probably heard stories like that from all over the country within the sovcit movement.

I admit I'm much less informed on evictions, but I thought one had to establish legal residence to be evicted, otherwise it would just be criminal trespassing. Could their 40 days actually have counted as established residence?

Technically in most US jurisdictions if you can manage to squat in a place for long enough (in Oregon this time frame is 10 years) without being evicted/arrested you can take legal possession of it. I honestly doubt the Bundy idiots would of wound up hanging around there for that long if the feds didn't intervene.

This just kills me because they're all like "we're trying to raise this issue!" and "the federal government doesn't have jurisdiction!" when there have been several cases that have already decided these things (and that yes the federal government can own that land and no your new lawsuit isn't going to do anything that hasn't been done). It's just willful ignorance.

Unfortunately when you do it in such a way that it prevents government employees from doing their job I guess it's a felony, oops! Also it probably doesn't help when you bring a shitload of guns to the party and act all hostile. Who wants to go try to serve an eviction notice to a bunch of guys who have openly stated they're itching for a reason to shoot you?

In Chicago it's whether there's "indicia of possession. ". I had the police tell me in so many words that once people moved in furniture it wasn't trespassing anymore. Basically the case law said once there was a question of right to possession it went to court, and it was up to the police to determine if there was a question.
But yes making a lot of noise and publicity is what did them in, im just saying they probably knew of hundreds of sovcits who got the matter handled in civil court and thought they would too.

That document is quite possibly the greatest thing ever written.

Following the legal and constitutional stand-off, whereby Plaintiff BUNDY, his sons and other family members and supporters exercised their Second Amendment right of self- defense against the government, and succeeded in having the BLM agents and representatives leave the Bundy ranch unharmed, Plaintiff BUNDY publically equated his and his family’s situation to the plight of “Negroes” in the old South, whereby they were enslaved by a tyrannical government as he and his family believed they were given the threats and violent attacks on his family members, his cattle and the Bundy’s supporters. He chose the word “Negro” believing that this was a proper term for African-Americans, having looked up the word in Webster’s dictionary. He meant no disrespect and insult to African-Americans, particularly since he was equating his and his family’s plight with them. Indeed, the Reverend Martin Luther King referred to his people as “Negroes” and he is recognized as the greatest African-American civil rights leader in American history.

---

41. On information and belief, Defendant NAVARRO undertook to violate Defendant BUNDY’S constitutional rights not just because she was told to do so by Defendant HARRY REID and Defendant OBAMA, who proposed and nominated her to the federal bench, but also to curry favor with the likelihood of a Democrat administration under the presidency of Hillary Clinton.

42. As a Latino Democrat woman, Defendant Navarro understood that she would be high on the list for a higher judicial or other appointment if she contributed as the sitting judge to have Defendant BUNDY denied right of counsel of Klayman, as Klayman has been a strong public advocate in exposing and taking legal actions to address and remedy the rank corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Bundy ranch land is a better choice than literally anywhere else in the Great Basin because reasons.
