The Alabama House passed a bill that would make it illegal for any person to possess a machine gun (even legal ones). The language in the bill could also be used to go after aftermarket trigger. I have no idea how this garbage made it through the house! Here is the Hosue passed version of the bill
This is in the bill: This section does not apply to a state or local law enforcement officer while acting in an official capacity or any machine gun lawfully owned or possessed under federal law.
"It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen." ~ Herodotus
Correct, it doesn't ban anything on the NFA regsitery.
However it is still a bad bill... it apparently is more strict that federal law, and can be interpreted to ban owning machine gun trigger groups that are legal under federal law (like an AK-47 trigger group).

It also makes every Alabama Class II SOT's pistol-to-MG conversion unlawful until their ATF Form 2 comes back approved.
