Nobody has to surrender anything. This is copy and paste from the ATF faq page.


11. Do I need a Federal firearms license to make a firearm for my own personal use, provided it is not being made for resale?

Firearms may be lawfully made by persons who do not hold a manufacturer’s license under the GCA provided they are not for sale or distribution and the maker is not prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms. However, a person is prohibited from assembling a non-sporting semiautomatic rifle or shotgun from 10 or more imported parts, as set forth in regulations in 27 CFR 478.39. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and advance approval by ATF. An application to make a machinegun will not be approved unless documentation is submitted showing that the firearm is being made for the official use of a
- 8 -

Federal, State or local government agency (18 U.S.C. § 922(o),(r); 26 U.S.C. § 5822; 27 CFR §§ 478.39, 479.62, and 479.105).

Additionally, although markings are not required on firearms manufactured for personal use (excluding NFA firearms), owners are recommended to conspicuously place or engrave a serial number and/ or other marks of identification to aid in investigation or recovery by State or local law enforcement officials in the event of a theft or loss of the privately owned firearm.

If you recently purchased one of these I would say the proper thing to do is to rig up a bucket of hot tar over your door with some feathers to follow up and do what you need to do if they come knocking.

Part of the issue might be if you fall into the prohibited persons category or if your state has any anti laws about things.

If you are a free upstanding person and know the law, well you have the option to stand on your rights and make them have to try to fight it out in court.

Bicep man that Kyle was going to get executed by before he lost a pound of flesh was a felon with a gun, but he is a useful idiot and still free to walk the streets because the judiciary is corrupted to the Communist cause.

The law and the court is not what you think it is anymore.
 
When Francis Scott Key wrote the words “the land of the free and the home of the brave” in 1814, he had no idea that one day the ATF would be knocking on peoples doors taking their arms away.

I agree with home of the brave when fighting foreign governments but the land of the free is stretching it a bit is 2020

If the atf show up at your door....tell them to suck a dick and come back with a warrant....it's really not that hard.

I recognize the first part as an independent clause but is what follows one independent statement or two separate thought statements.

I mean if it were hard would you let them in to conduct the act requested warrantless?

I don't plan on even uttering a word to anyone at my door that I don't recognize, let alone surrendering anything that I legally purchased and good luck justifying probable cause to obtain that warrant.

The Court will have to agree that you have some competency in The Law to represent yourself or you have enough money to hire a Lawyer to do it for you.

I am a free upstanding citizen in a 2a sanctuary area that hasn’t been convicted of a crime who has been told by a judge that I can’t have any deadly weapons. And lots here are being denied the quick and speedy and trial part right now. NO ONE is free from unconstitutional gov overreach.
 
What’s a lower? 🙄 Is that what they call the camera they use to inspect your bung hole? 😂

Which clause are you referring to? It’s been a while since I had to worry about what all that said.
