All it takes is time and lots of money. Not being a criminal helps too.

So not a cheap task? Oh well. I just wanted to be able to order lots of guns without having to call an FFL holder and pay them to do it. Oh well.

you have to pay a "tax" every year for your license

pay for every transaction IIRC

provide a "secure" area

move "x" amount of inventory

i've heard that the wake county sheriff won't sign class 3 licenses, but i don't know this for sure

6/8/2006 6:25:29 PM

he won't


it sucks because he promised that he would

but he is 1000000000 times better than Baker, so he still gets my vote

^^ once I get that signed, how long will it be valid?

6/8/2006 6:55:32 PM

you have to renew your C3 stamp every year for every item that can be classified as a C3 item
(suppressor, class 3 receivers, class 3 weapons)

like 200 a pop


you still can't buy any machine gun manufactured after 1986

but you can still buy m16A1's and all kinds of cool old stuff if you have the money

the smart thing is to buy weapons with the same caliber, have one suppressor, and machine all the bbl's to the same thread pitch

If you get an FFL you will have to run a legit business and you will have to have a real store front, you can't just run it out of your living room and claim that your sales are all online.
I suppose you could run it out of a storage shed though...

Anyway, yeah it does take money and yeah you really do have to be a dealer. But, people do it all the time. It's not hard to sells guns for the pure purpose of retaining an FFL. Just find out who needs a gun, order it up for them, and charge them a small FFL fee on top of your dealer price.

the $200 is a tax stamp, ity is a one time TRANSFER FEE that msut be paid BEFORE you take posession of any class 3 or otherwise restricted weapon. Some weapons, and or some types of small hide out holsters are any other weapon class items that require i beleive a $10 or $5 charge for the tax stamp. This is NOT a yearly fee. It is also NOT, i repeat, NOT a lisense of any type. You can be a class 3 qualified FFL dealer or a non class 3, but a private indivdual does NOT require ANY liscense to own a class 3 device. They msut sub,it a transfer application, and pay the $200 tax as fee for it, IF the local sherif/law enforcemnt signs where needed, and all other sections are correctly filled out, AND the application is aproved, they then have the legal right to take posession of the device in question. The BATFE, in regard to NFA enforcemnt in the case of a private citizen will require that they be able to display the tax stamp, along with id proving them to be the applicant for said stamp. They will also check the gun to be sure it is the exact same gun listed on the stamp, and make sure the gun is actualy registerted as transfered in the database. Once again, a sherrif who will nto sign these forms is blocking the TRANSFER of the item to you, NOT your application to own it. You may legally own it, however you must show proof that the manner in wich it was transfered to your possesion was legal and was taxed under the NFA. Thus you can live in another county, buy and legally transfer multiple items to your name, and bring them with curresponding tax stamps with you when moving to wake county. Alwasy rember, it is a transfer tax(legal as congr4ess has the right to creat and order enforced new taxes), and a refusal of the BATFE to allow REGISTRATION of late manufactured items, as well as a refusal on there part to allow the second week of the congressionaly mandated amnesty period for registration of weapons that makes the possesion of after 1986 items illegal for private citizens. IF an item is currently registered, and is a non resticted transfer registration, ANYONE aproved for the tax stamp may have it transfered to hsi or her possesion. The BATF only enforces the tax law section, and the registration. LISCENSE? NO! renew every year? NO! pay a tax once own as long as you want? YES!

The National Firearms Act

By the 1920s lightweight fully-automatic firearms were available for sale to the general public. Private ownership of fully-automatic firearms resulted in no particular crime problem, but became an issue after the prohibition of liquor in 1919 by the 18th Amendment, (repealed in 1933 by the 21st Amendment). Prohibition was followed by an increase in organized crime, which anti-gun politicians over-estimated to involve the use of submachineguns, especially the Thompson .45 caliber, nicknamed the "Tommy Gun." Following passage of restrictions on fully-automatic firearms in several states, the administration of the newly-elected president, Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, launched a campaign for a federal restriction. In a style of language copied by President Clinton in his war against semi-automatic firearms, President Roosevelt claimed in 1934 that "Federal men are constantly facing machine-gun fire in the pursuit of gangsters."5 The result of FDR`s campaign was the National Firearms Act of 1934, which to this day requires that before a private citizen may take possession of a fully-automatic firearm he must pay a $200 tax to the Internal Revenue Service and be approved by the Treasury Department to own the firearm, which is registered to the owner with the federal government.6
