FYI RE: Type 97A - One affected owner was chosen as the test subject. Had that test case yielded a positive outcome, all other Type 97A owners would've been covered. Unfortunately, the physical design of the Type 97A trigger did meet the established federal standards of easily converted to full auto. Not what we wanted to hear, but it was a case that still needed to be fought on principle. It would've been irresponsible for the NFA to have funded three dozen separate s.74 challenges, even assuming the org had the resources to do so.
The Swiss Arms and CZ-858 prohibitions will be fought firstly in the political realm, but the NFA has a legal team in place to take this challenge right to the Supreme Court if necessary.
