I can't really recall having ever heard anyone accuse the Government of using sound, sane & reasonable Judgement in setting up the 1968 gun law. Its pure intention was to get a foot in the door for the purpose of pushing that door further open toward the goal of total gun bans on private individuals. Fortunately some toes were stomped in the process & a bit of the hazzle was done away with, such as ammo etc, but the foot it still there. The door wasn't as easy to push open as had been assumed & the gap has not widened much. I'm for stomping them toes even harder & kicking that foot totally back out the door.
If I tried to buy from you a gun which was known & verified to be a pre 1899 & you insisted on me going to the hassle & expense of a check I would tell you where to "Stick IT" & be perfectly willing to assist you in the process if needed. The US Constitution does say I am "Innocent" until proven Guilty & you can't prove I'm Guilty.
The 1968 gun law says a pre 1899 gun is "Not" to be put on the books.
