The NFA world is a difficult one (dealing with Title II firearms). The landmines in regulations are frequent; seemingly common sense business decisions can often land a company or individual in trouble when they couldn’t have imagined the danger. The laws are arcane, and the logic paths are twisted. Add in import, export, DDTC, ITAR, AECA-76, GCA-68 and the confusion simply multiplies. I wrote the first edition of the Machine Gun Dealer’s Bible in 1989 because of how many companies and friends were running into confusing laws that were a new focus of government employees; and people were overwhelmed at what they were facing.

Today, as Small Arms Defense Journal is in its 11^th year, we thought that it might be a good idea to help introduce our readers to a few places where they can get help—legal firms who specialize in the subject matter and have been honest in the dealings we have seen, former regulatory employees who will consult on issues and resources to help guide you and your company before you have trouble (and perhaps help clean up issues that might arise from violations). If you don’t see someone on our lists, it may not mean we consider them untrustworthy, we may simply be unaware of their services or they might be too locally focused for this publication.
