    Was just talking about this at work the other day. Thought they already sold them. I guess that was from back in 2014 when they were talking about getting rid of them. IIRC the original article was about how the Chief was/is against NFA ownership by rank and file Americans but when it comes to making big bucks off the guns he decides selling is better than destroying them.
