Indústria Nacional De Armas
Indústria Nacional de Armas (INA) was a Brazilian firearms manufacturer. Background In April 1940, the Brazilian Army officer Plinio Cardoso was in Denmark visiting the DISA (company), Dansk Industri Syndicat factory on an official mission, when the Germans invaded the country. Afraid that their submachine gun designs would fall into the hands of the Wehrmacht, the company handed the designs over to Plínio, who would return to Brazil and keep the designs safely away from Europe. After the end of the war, the Brazilian officer returned to Denmark to return the designs, which began manufacturing the Madsen M-46 submachine gun soon after. In recognition of his work, the company granted him the rights to manufacture the weapon in Brazil. Some models and first prototypes of the submachine gun would have been developed and adapted inside the IMBEL factory in Itajubá, in partnership with the engineer Euclydes Bueno Filho, who would join Plinio to found INA.

The two pieces fit together like a clam shell with the hinge at the rear of the pistol grip. The firearm is held together with a barrel locking nut which is threaded onto the fore section of the two receiver halves. The pistol grip is hollow, providing storage space for a magazine loading tool. The fold ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gun Law In The United States
In the United States, the right to keep and bear arms is modulated by a variety of state and federal statutes. These laws generally regulate the manufacture, trade, possession, transfer, record keeping, transport, and destruction of firearms, ammunition, and firearms accessories. They are enforced by state, local and the federal agencies which include the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The private right to keep and bear arms is protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. This protection became legally explicit when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in '' District of Columbia v. Heller'' (2008) that the Amendment defined and protected an individual right, unconnected with militia service. A subsequent holding in '' McDonald v. City of Chicago'' (2010) ruled that the Second Amendment is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and thereby applies to state and local laws.
