I always go with a trust. Little more expensive, but less BS and I still retain more privacy compared to going the individual route.

I went the same route but I think that's gong to end soon. I can't justify the price to keep it, I'd rather hoard more ammo instead to **** off liberals.

Why not just say youre hoarding ammo and save yourself even more money?? Spending money to anger people seems like a waste of money

Lengthy, and very expensive, which prohibits the great, great majority of people from ever owning one. I see no problems there at all, I don't understand why you do.

Nope. I am actually for legalizing weed. Don't infringe my gun rights, though. I don't care if you smoke in public or not. Compromise.

Yes. Yes, it is.

I've gotten to shoot machine guns and things with suppressors on the end. Maybe I'll find the Youtube video of me doing it somewhere else. It was rather fun, and completely legal. Couple of buddies with way more cash than I've got let me and a few others play with 'em.

I loved firing the .30 cal air cooled military weapon and found that it was not so hard to hit things with. Of course, we had to fire 6 rounds at a time with a break in order to keep it from heating up. I doubt the gun was fired that carefully in combat, though. I always wanted to fire a BAR but never got to do that.

I don't know if that thing was automatic enough for you.

What you describe is just what the grabbers will get to for all firearms before they go to confiscation.

I'm a strong opponent of automatic weapons or military grade weapons in the hands of citizens, but I still think their pretty cool. Watch this video (specifically opponents of automatic weapons) and tell me what you think. Well why you all watch the video and formulate a opinion, I guess I'll go play Black Ops II.
Yeah, too bad the average citizen is barred from owning an "automatic weapon" without obtaining a Class III Fedral Firearms License........... So whats your point?

Automatic weapons were used on the streets of America back in the 20's and 30's to kill Americans...Al Capone's gang used them and they were legal at the time.. The Tommy Gun, the same gun that was used by the U.S. Military...

Because ammo is one of a very few things that I trust as an investment, there's zero chance of it losing value and when all else fails it can be used to buy just about anything you want or need.

But they've never been used in what we consider a "modern" mass shooting/suicide. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't know of anyone who has gone into a school, shopping mall or any other public place and shot the place up with a full auto firearm. I may be wrong but I can't find any proof of it happening.
