Shit, m16's were $35k about 10 years ago, I imagine they are at least $50k now. A tommy gun was about $50k, so probably closer to $100k a piece now.
NFA stuff is damn expensive and a really weird group of people.
A lot of them are wealthy enough to have the political influence to keep the NFA on the books too. Otherwise, a repeal would mean their MGs are basically scrap.
Yeah, most of them were very powerful and had lots of political pull. That's the only way to get what you want these days, bribes and backdoor deals.
