This video from Guns & Gadgets details how Kentucky has enacted HB749, a legislative strategy to legally circumvent the federal machine gun ban on post-1986 firearms. The state is leveraging an exception in 18 USC 922(o) by establishing a state-run system through the Office of Public Defense to acquire and transfer these firearms to qualified citizens.
