#1 I keep pointing out that Blackwater must get out of the US ASAP, at least having a HQ on some Caribbean island, or else they are going to be ruined by the Democrats, who are planning to harass and destroy them.

#2 Federal laws prohibit private parties from buying automatic weapons
Not quite true. You can own a fully automatic weapon but it is very expensive to go through the process and it takes at least a year.

#3 It sounds like they suspect Blackwater sold fully-auto weapons to a private party. That would be a no-no if the proper procedures were not followed.

Still, we are talking about the BATF. They have a history of playing fast and loose with the law.

#4 I think you just have to pay the tax stamp on the gun in KY. Fill out a FORM-4, have it signed by the local police chief, pay $200 , wait 2-6 months, and you're good. Can't be a felon, or mentally ill, the usual fine print. That is in Ky, but it's a Federal thingy, unless your state adds extra shit onto that to try to discourage you, which they probably do in some states.
