		The essence of the indictments is that Hunter's 1700 machinegun registrations were used to provide a paper cover for the illegal transfer and possession of machineguns.
		That the machineguns eventually came to rest within a single state is of no consequence; the steps leading up to their possession took place in interstate commerce.
		Given the extensive, intricate, and definitively national market for machineguns evidenced by these indictments, the Court cannot say that Congress acted irrationally in prohibiting the transfer and possession of most post-1986 machineguns as a means of regulating the interstate flow of such firearms.

	Medal of Honor Recipients - World War II (A-F)
		Despite intense machinegun fire which the enemy directed at him and rifle grenades which struck the trees over his head showering him with broken twigs and branches, S/Sgt. Adams made his way to within 10 yards of the closest machinegun and killed the gunner with a hand grenade.
		Locating the enemy machineguns on a knoll 200 yards away, he ordered 2 squads to cover him and led his men down an irrigation ditch, running a gauntlet of intense machinegun fire, which completely blanketed 50 yards of his advance and wounded 4 of his men.
		When 2 machineguns pinned down his company, he tried to eliminate, with mortar fire, their grazing fire which was inflicting serious casualties and preventing the company's advance from an area rocked by artillery shelling.

		As a threshold matter, he must show that (1) he is part of a state militia; (2) the militia, and his participation therein, is "well regulated" by the state; (3) machineguns are used by that militia; and (4) his possession of the machinegun was reasonably connected to his militia service.
		Machineguns legally possessed may not be transferred in commerce without approval from the Secretary of the Treasury, and a substantial tax must be paid.
		The markets for semiautomatic weapons and machineguns are closely linked because of the ease with which a semiautomatic weapon can be converted to fully automatic (as Haney did to one of the weapons in this case).

		At this meeting, Wright produced the disassembled machinegun and told the agents that, once it was reassembled, he planned to shoot the gun, grease it, and then bury it.
		For example, a machinegun may be created by converting a non-automatic gun, and machineguns may also be manufactured and sold within a single state.
		In this case, Wright immediately admitted upon arrest that he possessed the machineguns, led the agents to the location of these weapons, and consented to the search of his residence that resulted in the discovery of an additional machinegun and the three pipe bombs.

	No. 04-0617: United States v. Robert Wilson Stewart, Jr. - Petition
		The court's effort to define a category of "homemade" machineguns by reference to the degree of "expertise and industry" (id. at 7a) exercised by an individual in assembling his weapon, however, has no constitutional foundation and is unlikely to produce consistent and principled results.
		None of the machineguns had original Sten receiver tubes (the part of the gun that houses the cartridge when the weapon is fired), and at least one was identified as having a "homemade receiver tube." Id. at 567.
		These machineguns were a "unique type of firearm," with legal parts mixed and matched from various origins; they required more than a simple turn of a screw-driver or a hit of a hammer to become machineguns.

		Notes: This is an improvement of the Maxim machineguns that Germany adopted between 1887 and 1901.
		(This tripod was copied by Belgium and Russia to use with their Maxim-pattern machineguns.) The MG-08/18 was the last World War 1 version of the MG-08; it dispensed with the water jacket and used a light air cooling casing instead.
		In a broad sense, the MG-34 was the ancestor of modern GPMGs and light machineguns.

		This is because machinegun owners have chose to subject themselves to the close scrutiny of the Federal Government.
		As a result, machinegun owners are extremely conscious of their legal responsibilities, and are more than willing to police themselves and report unlawful activities to Federal law enforcement officials.
		At this point the machinegun owner is subjected to a strict set of rules that govern the movement of the gun.

	U.S. v. Wright, 117 F.3d 1265 (11th Cir. 1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		At his sentencing hearing, Wright admitted that he possessed the machineguns and pipe bombs referred to in the indictment, and explained that he had planned to bury the weapons for use in case of an invasion.
		Because section 922(o) enacts a total ban on the possession and transfer of machineguns, while section 922(q) regulated only the possession of firearms in a limited, discrete geographic sphere, we conclude that this case is easily distinguishable from Lopez.
		The regulation of purely intrastate possession of machineguns "constitutes an appropriate element of [Section(s) 922(o)'s] broader scheme" to reduce substantially the trade in machineguns.

		Ardoin argues that the statute under which he was charged, requiring registration and payment of taxes, was implicitly repealed by a statute declaring machineguns manufactured after 1986 ("post-1986 machineguns") illegal.
		As a distributor, he was able to sell to law enforcement agencies any class of weapons, including machineguns, as long as he maintained his Class III license.
		[footnote 3] He reasons that since individuals may not possess machineguns manufactured after May 19, 1986, and ATF refuses to accept applications to register or to pay the tax on such weapons, the constitutional authority for provisions of the NFA dealing with the registration and taxing of post-1986 machineguns is gone.

	M-60 7.62mm Machineguns -- SEAL/MST Weapons Vietnam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)

		The Army wanted a new general purpose machinegun (GPMG) that was lighter than the lightest Browning (M-1919A6); had a quick-change barrel (which the Browning did not); could be used as an infantry, vehicular, or aircraft gun; had an improved belt feed, and could be fired from either the shoulder, hip, bipod, or tripod.
		The M-60 is a general purpose machinegun that weighs 23 pounds, is air-cooled, gas operated, belt-fed, and fires full automatic.

		While access to these weapons remains restricted in a system of high cost and restrictive laws, machineguns and exotic weapons remain of great interest to survivalists and the topic of discussion in the survivalist community.
		Automatic and exotic weapons do handle and shoot differently from standard sporting guns and "lookalike" paramilitary weapons.
		Fortunately, there is a die hard community of gun collectors in North America that does give some level of public access to these weapons in addition to some levels of training which are available to nominally qualified individuals.
