$4K SAW? April Fools...
So I'm up late working at my usual snail's pace when I get an email from one of the many lists I'm not sure I got on but am too lazy to unsubscribe from:

7th Circuit Court rules in favor of TGSCOM
Got this email today from [email protected]
NFA laws have been repealed through a long standing court battle in the 7th US Circuit Court. The president of TGSCOM had sued the federal government on the grounds that the NFA law violated the Second Amendment of the Constitution. After heated and lengthy oral arguments, TGSCOM is now able to sell fully automatic weapons to the general public without tax stamps and the additional background check. The one stipulation to the agreement is that fully automatic rifles will be treated like handguns in that they will require a purchaser of 21 and older, the firearm must be transferred in the state of their residence (same as handguns) and that the buyer must submit to all regulations in the state of their residence. What this means for you We will now be adding a limited number of fully automatic firearms to our inventory. They will be sold on a first come first served basis. The benefit is that not only can you own them, but they do not have the $20,000 price tag they normally do. California residents Since this ruling is so new, there are no restrictions for California residents. Bet on the fact that they will be up to speed very quickly with reducing your Constitutional rights so take full advantage while you can! Eric R. Thompson President TGSCOM Inc. Do you think it was an April Fools Joke? It arrived in my email Inbox at 1:39am 4/1/2009

Is it a real company? Maybe it is an ATF phishing scam!

I mentioned it too
http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/...d.php?t=348976 Absolutely April Fools. At the very least, 7th Circuit has no effect on California law, and they wouldn't be passing out opinions in the middle of the night. A cruel joke, but a joke nonetheless. |

Just merged the two threads on this subject. This was my first merge, so if it didn't go well, just consider that the system's April Fool's joke on me.
