As this does constitute the addition of existing unregistered weapons to the Registry, in my opinion the Secretary should have used the amnesty procedures in the 1968 GCA.

To move weapons between states two rules apply. An individual must get permission from ATF to move machine guns, short rifles, short shotguns or destructive devices between states (or to temporarily export them) before doing so.
