I am sure I mentioned before that in 1986 Congress passed and the President signed the "Gun Owners Protection Act." This act did a lot of good in defining what the ATF was allowed and forbidden to do. Not enough, but it was immensely helpful.
Included in this act, however, was the Hughes Amendment. The Hughes Amendment, in a nutshell, forbids the construction of new machineguns for private citizens.
The government is going to be hurting for revenue soon. At $200 a gun a repeal of the Hughes Amendment would generate a lot of dough. I'd be willing to plunk at least $600 here. And think about it, that's $200 per gun that doesn't take $200 in services to generate. We change the rules slightly we can make it cost even less to process the Form 1s!
Right now they run a complete background check on every single application from every applicant. I propose that only be done with the first application. Subsequent applications only checks for disqualifying activity between the previous approval and the current date. The same thing could be done for all the back-ground checks for all guns.
Write your congresscritter, it's for the children!
