Frequently Asked Questions

What happened when a couple ordered government surplus cases?

A couple ordered 108 cases from a government surplus store, believing they were empty storage units. Upon arrival, they discovered the cases contained M16 rifles, leading to a federal investigation by the ATF and FBI.

What is the significance of the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA)?

The NFA imposed a $200 tax stamp on certain firearms, including machine guns. Adjusted for inflation, this tax is equivalent to approximately $4,420 today, making these firearms prohibitively expensive for most civilians.

How did the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA) affect machine gun ownership?

FOPA made it illegal for civilians to own newly manufactured machine guns. This created a fixed supply of pre-1986 transferable machine guns, driving their market prices up significantly, often between $20,000 and $60,000.

What is Colion Noir's critique of government firearm policy?

Colion Noir criticizes the government's intense focus on a few mistakenly shipped M16s while allegedly overlooking the loss of billions in military weapons abroad. He questions the effectiveness and consistency of current gun control regulations.
