I've lived in many states, and some of them define a "machine gun" as firing more than 3 shots with a single triger pull. Yet the ATFE (government) defines it as more than one shot per pull.
With states (Oregon is defined as more than one so it goes with ATFE's def. ) FINALLY standing up to the feds on issues (like our death with dignity and the medical pot laws we have here (hey, didn't say I agreed with them, just like the idea of the states standing up to the feds)), if the state wouldn't bust you for having, would you buy?
(sorry, I know that the paragraph above really hurts to read).
The reason that I ask is that there is a small grass roots starting up in Oregon that wants to take the 9th's decision on MG's to heart and to change the legislature here to remove the wording of a MG and also to remove the "catch all" of "and all federal laws".
We figure that it's like the auto knife laws. Federal law states that you cannot carry/send an auto across state lines and then for a civilian (the People) to own. Yet, we here in Oregon can buy/own/carry auto knives because they are made in Oregon (Benchmade). So why can't the People buy/own MG's that are made in the same state?
I know that the government says they can't (the People) because the steel has to cross state lines... well, why does that apply to MG's but not to auto knives?

*we know that in Oregon it will never happen unless things change but it's a start.
