We need more states making antis throw themselves on the floor and throwing tantrums..
Well, we at Gun Owners of America had a thought. What if the States wanted to sell machineguns to their citizens—that is, what if they were to engage in a “transfer ... by ... a State”?
That certainly would comport with the historical tradition in the United States, where governments have sold military arms to the civilian populace since the Founding. And, of course, arming civilians with machineguns aligns with the prefatory clause of the Second Amendment, which reads:
What could be a better and more of a “well regulated Militia” than a citizenry armed with machineguns?
According to 922(o), a state government may lawfully “transfer”—that is, sell, give, loan, etc.—machineguns to ordinary citizens. And after the transfer is complete, those citizens may lawfully possess them, so long as the transfer was made by the State government.
