ATF might be encouraged to perform another Amnesty period to allow the registration of NFA Curios and Relics and, other firearms as applicable. Registration will prevent the confiscation and destruction of otherwise very rare firearms that are not likely to be used in a crime.

The baby boomer generation through generational hand me down's, is coming into actual possession of 70-100 year old firearms that were purchased legally by their great grandfather before the NFA of 1936 and, do not come with evidence of a tax stamp or a current registered owner in the 21st Century.

The NFA Registry is a confidential tax stamp record that prohibits citizens from determining if paper work ever existed for an NFA firearm. The maximum Federal penalty for possession and no evidence of registration is $100,000.00 and, 10 years in jail. The IRS prosecutes the omission of a tax stamp as the felony crime of Tax Evasion.

Another ATF - NFA Registration Amnesty, will prevent honest and law abiding senior citizens from the absurd result of serving time in a penitentiary for the duration of their sunset years for the innocent possession of an heirloom.
