Why not make it a presumption that NFA weapons are legally in possession of the citizen unless there is reason to believe that they are illegally possessed (other than their mere existence and presence at the range.)

Because until we, as the American people, CHANGE the law, or exercise our three legislative avenues (petition, referendum or recall), it IS the law.
Read this carefully.
If you have something IN YOUR HAND or in your immediate area of control (see: Chimel v. California) that is highly regulated, or deemed to be contraband by existing law, you are BEGGING to have that item inspected or checked.
And by posing the point of view that police officer can NOT enforce Federal law is dead WRONG. Even if we are out of our jurisdiction, but within the same State, we can detain for the proper jurisdiction.
So go ahead, and wave your SBR/SBS/AOW/Title II around at the range all you want. I guarantee that sooner or later you WILL be contacted by an officer--whether that officer is municipal, county, State or Federal.
Go ahead and give the officer some guff about jurisdiction. We love to hear that one. You might want to read up on mutual aid agreements and/or policies concerning your State before you do so, though.
