Once again the Greens have shown that they have NFI about the NFA. In fact, they have no idea about firearms, the firearms industry or gun control in general. They pretend the National Firearms Agreement is a binding contract the states must follow or else. It isn't; it is a guide the states can adapt to their own circumstances. This motion is essentially calling on the federal government to bully the states into implementing a non-binding document that's over 20 years old and has many unintended consequences that punish a million law-abiding shooters. Also, for the record, it's 'Beretta', not 'Baretta'.
