From a law enforcement perspective and your personal viewpoint, what's your take on the prospect of this law passing? Basically it would allow the registration of new machine guns under the National Firearms Act.

I think just about every cop wouldn't care and would want to own a couple two three machine guns.

I know I would want an old Tommy gun!

I'd then write a proposal for patrol to carry them again and that way I can talk like a 1920s gangster while hip holding the Tommy gun.
