The Arkansas House passed legislation to end a statewide ban on the possession of machine guns and sawed-off shotguns this week. The bill, HB 1820, was approved on a 72-14 vote. Democrats made up most of the opposition. The bill’s sponsor, Justin Gonzales, says that people with a federal license can already possess these weapons and that some firearms collectors may actually be in violation of state law. Gonzales also made it clear that he “didn’t own such weapons”. The State Representative then added that these weapons are already legal at the federal level, albeit with stiff regulations: These things are legal federally if you’re willing to pay the money and jump through all the hoops to own them. Since 2018, gun control has become a major issue in state legislatures across the country, with certain legislatures passing legislation such as bump stock bans and red flag laws. However, pro-gun states have pushed back with their own reforms such as Constitutional Carry, which Kentucky, Oklahoma, and South Dakota passed this year. As the federal government lags behind in restoring gun rights, pro-gun state legislatures are picking up slack.
Poster Comment: Overturned US vs Miller, and soon sawed off shotguns may be recognized as 100% legal in Arkansas. Full auto too. NFA '34 is illegal. I hope that this is finalized and that everyone in Arkansas gives David Hogg & Donnell Trump two middle fingers. One for Trench shotguns & the other for full auto fire.
Arkansas is the land of the free.

Machine guns, sawed-off shotguns, and short-barreled rifles have always been legal with a federal permit. But even with a federal permit, they were still illegal in Arkansas. This state legislation changes that.

Like State maryjane laws the feds will persecute if they like and get away with it. They'll just claim that you're smoking an illegal machine gun.
