Just read this on some clickbait page. I am hopeful, but I won't hold my breath.
Review: the entire MFA is a regulatory scheme and the NFA has punishments greather than failing to pay $200 to the IRS.

This is dangerous ground, they could agree and adjust the NFA tax for inflation. This is not where we want to start. If we want to do anything "meaningful" we need to go after the sporter clause. If we win, we win everything. If we lose, things stay as they currently are.

Well they can't just order it adjusted for inflation. That'd require congressional legislation.
Well... if the rule of law mattered at all, that is.

I doubt SCOTUS will even hear it, but pop it on the radar and the next thing you know Congress discovers there are people with "legal machine guns" and they decide to look at the 1934 NFA and determine it needs updating.
Because of how gun laws work, the 1934 NFA is the LAST one on the list. If you open it up for discussion, rulings or amendments it will probably only get bad. Nobody is going to say "Hey that's not really fair, let's open up the registry." You will see Heroin vending machines in middle schools before anything beneficial happens regarding the NFA.
If you really want to improve anything, all our efforts should be devoted to striking the "sporter clause" of the 1968 Gun Control Act. The last time anything was changed was back in 1986 with the Firearm Owners Protection Act so it's been done once.
If you remove the "sporter clause" from the 1968 GCA, you eliminate the basis for:
1968 Foreign Machine Gun Ban.
1986 Domestic Machine Gun Ban.
1989 Semi Auto Import Ban.
Any domestic semi auto ban.
Any ban concerning ammunition.
All of it just dies. With that accomplished you would have a more solid foundation to go after the 1934 NFA if inclined, but with the registry open I'm sure people would gladly pay a $200 tax to build or import brand new machine guns.

Agree. Thus the vow to eat pmags.

I would like the SBS/SBR ruling changed to a minimum barrel length of 14" for rifles and shotguns both.

This is what I have been saying to those who would listen... We absolutely do not want to open the National Firearms Act, in general. Things won’t get better.

The very first thing I thought.
I noticed Feinstein’s new AWB referenced pistol braces...which makes me feel they are doing more research in this area. They may already have people making noise about the $200.

Would I like to see a reversal of the asinine NFA laws? Absolutely. But that will never be, at best they will stay the same.
