Here is my attempt to list what state allows what in terms of NFA weapons. The “Y” indicates state law allows private individuals to own the weapon in question. Most of the “Y” states require the weapons be possessed in compliance with federal law to be legal under state law. Some of the “N” states may allow only police officers to possess them, or dealers, or neither. Basically if the privileged class was so narrow, by statute, I said “N”. In many states the class of folks able to own NFA weapons is narrow by practice (California), or because no law enforcement officers will sign the certification needed for a transfer to an individual. Some of the “N” states may also have grandfathered weapons, the “N” applies to a current transaction. Some “N” states may also allow unserviceable weapons. Some states may regulate one or more of these weapons as handguns.

Weapons that fit the first category above are commonly called gadget guns; pen guns, stapler guns, cane guns, alarm clock guns, flashlight guns, the list of objects is pretty long. A few have been removed from the scope of the law because their collector status makes them unlikely to be misused; original Nazi belt buckle guns for example. See the C&R list for these.

A DEWAT machine gun transfers tax free, as a “curio or ornament”, on a Form 5. To be a DEWAT, a gun should have a steel weld in the chamber, and have the plugged barrel steel welded to the frame or receiver. Having said that, a gun may be registered as unserviceable and not be de-activated in this manner. It may have cement or lead in the barrel, or a piece of rod welded, soldered or brazed in the barrel. Despite the repeated warnings from ATT, apparently DEWATs were made or imported that did not have steel welds. And a weapon registered as “unserviceable” before 1968 was not held to these standards. One (ostensible) reason machine gun receivers were redefined as machine guns in 1968, thus bringing DEWATs under the NFA regulation, was that folks were regularly and easily making their DEWATs live guns w/o complying with the law. Some barrel plugs were so poor they would fall out with little coaxing. The thing with buying a DEWAT is that it may be easy to make it live, or it may be hard. The gun may be pristine or rather beat up. They usually cost less than a live gun because they will not be 100% original if made live. However if you just want a shooter buying a DEWAT and getting it made live can often be cheaper than an original gun. DEWAT guns are best not bought Rifle Scopes unseen, unless you do not wish to make it live, but have it as a wall hanger. The exact state and extent of the welds will determine how hard it is to make live. However if you want a wall hanger, a dummy gun is much cheaper, and requires no paperwork. They can look totally authentic. They do not have an intact machine gun receiver, but a partially machined dummy receiver.

Special (Occupational) Taxpayers (SOT) under the NFA are exempt from some of the making or transfer taxes. All SOT holders may transfer weapons between themselves tax free. However a transfer between an individual and a SOT will require the tax. And unless one has a class 2 SOT, there is a tax on making an NFA weapon, except for making by or on behalf of a government entity. Sole proprietor SOT’s need not get the law enforcement certification for any transfer, except DD’s (unless they have the appropriate FFL), even for their own personal collection, although in that case they should pay the $200 transfer tax. They also need not attach a photo to the transfer paperwork, nor submit fingerprints. The Crime Bill (9/14/94) now requires these things with FFL applications, and SOT applications, however, and ATF was requiring them even before that became law, since early 1994. If one plans to engage in business in NFA weapons, one needs to be a SOT, just as one needs the FFL if they plan to engage in the business with regular firearms or ammunition.

# John Q. Public bought himself an AR-15 Accessories receiver in 1988 and put it in his safe. In April 1997, he decided to build it into a rifle. Was it a gun before The Date? No… so he has to build it into a POST-ban firearm.

NFA weapons are: machine guns, sound suppressors (a.k.a. silencers), short barreled shotguns, short barreled rifles, destructive devices and “any other weapons”. A machine gun is any gun that can fire more than one shot with a single pull of the trigger, or a receiver of a machine gun, or a combination of parts for assembling a machine gun, or a part or set of parts for converting a gun into a machine gun. A silencer is any device for muffling the gunshot of a portable firearm, or any part exclusively designed or intended for such a device (see discussion below). A short barreled shotgun is any shotgun (shoulder fired, smooth bore) with a barrel of less than 18″ or an overall length of less than 26″, or any weapon made from a shotgun falling into the same length parameters. A short barreled rifle is a rifle (shoulder fired, rifled bore) with a barrel length of less than 16″, or an overall length of less than 26″, or any weapon made from a rifle falling into the same length parameters (like a pistol made from a rifle). In measuring barrel length you do it from the closed breech to the muzzle, see 27 CFR sec. 179.11. To measure overall length do so along, “the distance between the extreme ends of the weapon measured along a line parallel to the center line of the bore.” 27 CFR sec. 179.11. On a folding stock weapon you measure with the stock extended, provided the stock is not readily detachable, and the weapon is meant to be fired from the shoulder. A destructive device (DD) is a explosive, incendiary or poison gas weapon, or any firearm with a bore over 1/2″, with exceptions for sporting shotguns, among other things (see discussion below). Any other weapons (AOW’s) are a number of things; smooth bore pistols, any pistol with more than one grip,(but see below) gadget type guns (cane gun, pen gun) and shoulder fired weapons with both rifled and smooth bore barrels between 12″ and 18″, that must be manually reloaded (see discussion below). These definitions are simplified, to see if a specific gun is a title 1 or 2 firearm one needs to refer to the specific definition under the statute(s), and possibly consult with the Technology Branch of ATF. There is also case law on the issue of whether a specific item falls into one of these categories.
