In the heart of West Virginia’s pro-2A stronghold, a sneaky betrayal is unfolding that could slam the door on law-abiding citizens owning machine guns. GOA just blew the whistle: a so-called pro-gun lobbyist in Charleston is whispering poison into senators’ ears, claiming SB 1071—West Virginia’s bold bill to legalize sales of machine guns to everyday folks—somehow violates federal law. This isn’t just drama; it’s a classic case of controlled opposition at work, where fake allies sabotage real progress to keep the NFA’s iron grip intact. Call your senators NOW—lines are lighting up, and this could pass if we drown out the saboteurs.

Let’s break it down: SB 1071 exploits a rare federal loophole under the Hughes Amendment, allowing states like West Virginia to offload their law enforcement surplus machine guns directly to residents without the $200 tax stamp circus or endless ATF wait times. It’s genius—Missouri and a handful of others have danced around this before, proving it’s doable without Uncle Sam batting an eye. But this lobbyist? They’re peddling the tired federal violation myth to spook senators, probably protecting some crony dealer racket or fearing a flood of full-auto freedom that upends the scarcity-driven market. The implications for the 2A community are massive: if WV pulls this off, it’s a blueprint for red states everywhere to unleash pre-1986 MGs, crashing prices, normalizing select-fire ownership, and chipping away at the NFA’s foundation. One win here could spark a domino effect, turning may issue dreams into reality.

Don’t sit this out—GOA’s got the direct lines, and every call counts before this gets buried in committee. This is grassroots 2A warfare: expose the infiltrators, rally the troops, and watch machine gun rights go from fantasy to fixture. West Virginia, lead the charge—America’s watching.
