After doing some research about the NFA, more specifically the Hughes Amendment which put into effect the Machine Gun ban of 1986, I was wondering what everyone thinks about a possible repeal in the near future say 2012. I am referring specifically to the manufacturing of new machine guns for civilian use.

I know with the current administration they would go nowhere but in the other direction, but with the current approval rating thanks to Obamacare I think it's safe to say the 2010 and 2012 elections will take care of many political adversaries to Gun Rights.

I figured I'd be optimistic about the future for once...
