The question I originally had had was really, what type of weapon do you consider to be in excess of what the 2nd Amendment stipulates. Do you think civilians should be able to own anything that is carried by an individual military soldier? I tend to think so. I'd rather not have to rise up against the government with a 12 gauge or .22LR when they all sport high velocity AP rounds being shot at a high rate of fire.
Why are fully automatic weapons illegal (I understand there are certain grandfather laws etc)? I don't claim to know guns very well, but I was under the impression that semi-sutos can be converted to automatic rather easily. Doesn't this just put full autos in the hands of criminals?
what would you want to be armed with when the fecal matter hits the oscillating ceiling appliance? i think some improvised explosives would be nice. throw some sneakers at em.
or, you can do what rambo did twice, and go to them when they're not looking with your bow. it worked in the movies!
Full auto weapons are not actually illegal. many States will allow you to get a federal permit to own one. All semi auto's at least know require a very good knowledge of the gun plus some extensive machining to covert to reliable full auto operation. The BATF checkes out every design before it is allowed to enter the US or be made in the US "legally".
Some slip by once in a while like a certain 22 semi rifle back in the 80s that came from eastern europe the firing cycle started from a open bolt a very big no no. The next was some very early AKs back in the 80s I belive that had a plate spot welded on the inside of the receiver preventing the selector from moving to the Full Auto position. An easy one to convert.
These are not the ones they worry about altho if they catch you it's a big fine and prison time, it's the "big fish" they look for.
Remember BGs don't care they steal from the gov from Law enforcement or smuggle them. Sometimes they even buy them from bad cops.
