Onyx Z made a good point, which is one that I'm also trying to make... what's the difference really between the NFA and the SAFE act in terms of registration and infringement? Yes it's Federal vs State, and yes the degrees of infringement are on an entirely different scale. But why would you be willing to register a firearm under the NFA but not under SAFE? Does it imply less trust of the State of New York than of the BATFE?
