I was looking for something specific and unrelated on the ATF site and saw this and thought it was interesting. Can you think of a specific scenario where this would play out? In this short response to the question, it does not specify that the requesting agency has to take possession of the machine gun, although I assume that is the intent. ...and you thought Trump didn't do anything pro 2A (see revised July 15, 2020) jk, just poking the bear.
[h=1]May an unlicensed person make a machine gun?[/h]Generally, no. However, applications to make and register machine guns on or after May 19, 1986 for the benefit of a federal, state, or local government entity will be approved if documentation can be provided, along with the application to make a machinegun, which establishes that the machine gun is particularly suitable for use by federal, state or local governmental entities and is being made at the request and on behalf of such an entity.
