So do we send the link to our respective Congressmen and Senators?  Probably wouldn't hurt.

I think there is more to it than just the tax / license. B-I-L has his carbine, told me you need to spell out EVERYTHING about it. Where exactly you keep it, etc.  You are also open to no notification social visits from BATF to make sure everything is as you say, at any time.

That was about 9 yrs ago, assume it's the same today.

When I purchased my Class 3 items, I never had the problems some have experienced. The process I went through for one weapon consisted of the following: I purchased my weapon through a living trust, paid the NFA dealer, and sent the paperwork along with a check for the amount of the tax to the BATF. The paperwork consisted of the Form 4 and a copy of my trust. In about six weeks, the NFA dealer received the form back with a stamp affixed (it is a stamp) and called me to come pick it up.

The BATF has never come to my home and I never had to divulge where I keep the weapons, etc. With that all that stated, I do live in Florida. State law does affect your eligibility to own a Class 3 weapon.

As for the video, I wish he would not use the term "Assault Weapon" to describe a select-fire rifle. Other than that, I thought the video was really well done; an excellent post, 1776.
