Prince is wrong, it does apply. Says it right in the statute – “identical to any rifle or shotgun prohibited from importation under section 925(d)(3)”. 925(d)(3) covers NFA weapons, among others. QED.
ATF recently figured this out and has been issuing letters to that effect.
How can this appply “under section 925(d)(3) of this chapter as not being particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes ” when firearms are NOT designed, made, or intended for “sporting purposes”?
By way of military service, I am fully qualified to state that my firearms are not sports implements. I only shoot targets as a means of practice, and I haven’t hunted (non-human) animals for many years, unless the grocery stores were closed.
Diomed – ATF has also issued letters saying that it does not apply. As a sidenote, anyone know of a conviction for 922(r) with no other criminal activity?
