He was also one who testified before Congress in 2002(?) in an attempt pushed by the NRA to relieve small output custom makers & gunsmiths from the Fed Excise Tax placed on those guns.
The result of that hearing and Congressional back and forth was that custom makers/gunsmiths that produced fewer than 50 units/yr were not subject to the Fed Excise Tax on the
custom 'mfg'd' firearms.

You can't fix stupid.
