You could buy bolt action, semi, and even fully automatic firearms, including belt fed machine guns, with no ID out of a catalog and have it delivered to your door before WW2. Acting like the individual right to bear arms didn't exist before Heller is akin to an 8 year old telling me 9/11 was a fictional event.

- sickofparadox 2y agoThe Sears catalog did not seem to get the memo, and was not impeded in its distribution for missing it.
- kasey_junk 2y agoThe mailing of firearms act in 1927 and the national firearms act of 1934 both changed how sears could sell through their catalog. Your example is a good one because Thompson sub machine guns was a frequently cited impetus for the NFA.
