Those links have already been provided in very recent threads. Are you unable to look them up yourself?

I'm talking about specifically a machine gun. They are not hard to come by, you say?

I'd think that if they were easy to come by, we would have very likely seen a machine gun in use recently.

Did you ignore my post where I listed 3 links which were the first 3 that popped up in Google?

I see machine guns in use no a regular basis at my local firing range, I'm not sure I'm following your point... I've never seen one used while committing a crime, that's because the overwhelming majority of gun owners (even machine gun owners) follow the laws and don't go out shooting people for fun.

It's true. If they had they would have restricted politicians much more

I'm not posting in another thread, I'm posting in THIS ONE....he made those statements about mass killings by pickup truck, he should proved proof; certainly he can find the links. If not, I think it's quite clear that neither of you could provide links to prove your claims.
