I think it's important to educate folks that these automatic weapons are NOT the ones that are targeted right now as "assault weapons" by our legislators.
The so called Assault weapons ban is about banning semi automatic rifles that LOOK like mililtary rifles but function just like any other semi auto hunting rifle that is not being banned.
There will be a high capacity magazine ban, and when that happens, these so called assault rifles will not be able to do or perform and differently than it legal hunting rifle counterparts.
They want to ban these guns only for cosmetic reasons.
Who among all you experts have ever used an fully automatic weapon?
I have. M60, M249, and I shot both a full-auto and the 3-round burst M16 in my Army days.
My all time favorite, though was the Main Gun on an M1A1 Abrams tank. I wish someone would come out with an accurate tank simulator, haven't even seen anyone try in a long time.
That particular cannon was considered a giant waste. They had to lay a track for it anywhere it was going since it needed two tracks. It required hundreds of men to operate, days to set up, really long time between firing etc... and it certainly didn't hide very well.
yeah I know, but the grabbers don't. They think you can get a ccw for that and conceal that SOB LOL
That's interesting because they're banned in this country and there are so few of them in the hands of civilians that they're not even worth worrying about. To my knowledge an automatic or military weapon has never been used in a murdering spree in the United States.
Where is 'this country'? I know where you cn buy a Vickers WW-1 machine gun if you have the cash... It's totally legit and legal in NH USA this country.
All you need is 65,000 bucks a $200.00 tax a corporation to 'trust' it to and a Sheriff to sigh you off after he does a back ground check. So if you are heavy enough you can indeed own a machine gun.
Hear say has it, this Vickers shot Snoopy Down
Read past the point where you own one.. What is it? had you just said that the first time i wouldn't have replied the same way. I guess you don't want the Vickers.
Who among all you experts have ever used an fully automatic weapon?
I got to try out a 1927 Thompson sub machine gun when i was 17. It belonged to a friends Dad and he was the armorer of a Mass Police Force. That was totally legal.
After the first shot the first time i wasn't on the target anymore. Not even close...
After that mag I was shown how to, and did much better.
There were stick mags and a drum, but I only was allowed the sticks.
You can buy sex and you can buy guns, but I don't remember any street walker asking me for a background check.
You hooked up with an actual street walker? At least class it up and call an escort service. C'mon, Chuck.
