Originally Posted By hightp DVC, your correct in that full autos are no longer imported or manufactured for civilian use. I believe that ban was put into place in 1988 and all current pieces must have been registered by that date. Possession of an unregistered full auto is a federal crime with big penalties. As for the purchase, they are only difficut to obtain because of the limited supply, dealers to sell them and price. Apart from the additonal background checks and federal stamp, their purchase is no different from other firearms. Civilian ownership is limited to wealthy individuals who collect and can afford to purchase and feed them.

Originally Posted By jonvn "Yet I own several and fire them often. " Considering how you flipped out on me that time, you probably shouldn't own one.
Originally Posted By pecos bill Considering the scale of ownership, I think it is nothing short of a miracle that acts of gun violence are as relatively rare as they are. The real problem with guns is that any fried egg can own one. As one of the responsible gun owners, I am really split on the issue. We are caught in the dilemma of wanting to be able to own guns in order to protect ourselves from what we are defending. I still firmly believe in the right to own a simple firearm for personal and home defense. I just cant help it, I feel that gun proliferation is at a level that cannot be reversed. However, some of these lazer sighted assault weapons that are available to anybody, are so over the top in their destructive potential that I have to seriously question that availability. I honestly wish there were no guns at all, sadly, that is just not the case.

Originally Posted By jonvn "words hurt huh?" Not really. Not yours, anyway. But considering you committed a rage based felony on this board in threatening the life of another person, never apologized to me, and the only reason you did not get into legal trouble was me not wanting to bother, I would suggest that gun ownership is not the best thing for you. If you did it to me, you could just as easily fall into another rage, grab a gun and shoot someone. If you can calmly sit there and think that threatening the life of another person is just "words," then you need to take your guns, and get rid of them.

Originally Posted By peeaanuut OH get over it Jon. Really. Mele: I was on probation at the time. I am now off probation and can own weapons based on a few restrictions. Rivals only, no handguns. My crimes were not gun related or even weapon related so the terms of my restictions are different. As of now I am pretty much free to do what I wish with the understanding that charges can be brought upon me for past crimes. I can actually vote now, but I choose not to as there really is no point.
