Patron Pod 2: Mini Road Trip and Constructive Content
Added 2021-02-27 17:14:35 +0000 UTCDuring my road trip to pick up a KLR650 that my buddy bought, I think aloud about the "constructive intent" video and talk about ideas for the next episode, including some of my research into early NFA history.

As a general proposition, those laws have a scienter requirement. So you have to knowingly or intentionally violate it. They will try to infer intent from X and Y, but it needs to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal case. In most instances, the initial responding officers will coax a confession in some form out of the defendant.

2021-02-27 18:44:59 +0000 UTCNice bike! Decades ago I had a Yamaha FZ-600 that I used to race (on the track, not the street). I’ve heard all kinds of entertaining things from FFLs, the most common being “it’s illegal for an FFL to accept a transfer from a private individual”. Since I occasionally sell something from my collection online this one drives me nuts. I do have one question about your Constructive Intent video. You said that the ATF can only prosecute if you intend to make an SBR without paying the tax; how does the ATF know what the intent is? I would love to hear the history of the NFA.
