Today I am speaking with retired Master Sergeant John Keene, who is the NFA specialist for the Morphy's. Specifically, we are discussing the terminology and categories of legal machine guns in the United States. From the very common misconception of a "Class III License" (which does not exist), to the variety of terms like pre-May, post-May, pre-86, post-86, transferrable, defat, deactivated, and so forth - what do they all mean?
