Topic: Class III interstate transport

[Idaho Corsair]

18 USC 922(a)(4)
for any person, other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector, to transport in interstate or foreign commerce any destructive device, machinegun (as defined in section 5845 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle, except as specifically authorized by the Attorney General consistent with public safety and necessity;

So if I'm reading this correctly, then as long as I'm not doing "commerce" with my SBR, then it's ok to transport it across state lines? But unwritten is that I have to get permission from the ATF? Not saying that it's an exception in practice, but strictly worded as long as I'm not doing business with it, then how is it's mere presence effecting 'interstate commerce?'
Added: also note that the IRC defines a machine-gun in regards to this? WTF???

just a somewhat random thought.

to my understanding the only thing you DON'T have to file a 5320.20 on is suppressors.  no expert though  may as well they are good for a year anf it takes about a week for approval

And another example of the "interstate commerce" clause being raped by the federal government.

Reading the law though... I would say your right IC.
