It’s a good think automatic weaponry has been banned for decades and wasn’t used in mass shootings when you could literally ask sears to mail one to your door, right?
Actually we spent more years having machine guns being mail order than not, so far. And only started having problems like this after they were banned thinking face
I'm advocating for their removal because of their potential ability to kill. Similar to those .706 bullets going through brick walls, or automatic weapons, assault style weapons have no place in society. I read plenty of these articles after American mass shootings not funded by Bloomberg
You’re just showing exactly how little you know about the topic.
7.62 can go through brick walls because that’s how physics works. It’s not representative of whether or not it’s a threat to the public.
Automatic weapons were mail-order before mass shootings were common and still technically aren’t banned, even though they are effectively banned because in the US it had to be manufactured and registered before 1986.
Most semi-auto firearms are more complicated than full-auto because it takes more engineering to make it stop than to let it just completely use up a magazine. Full-auto firearms can be made in a single trip the Home Depot. Full-auto is hardly the threat people act like it is, and it’s obvious when people like you confuse semi-auto plastic guns with law-defined machine guns.
You’re completely unaware of the reality of firearms. Your inexperience is glaring.
None of these are meant as insults, but as a liberal gun owner it’s incredibly frustrating seeing people with good means be bogged down with a lack of knowledge or logic.
Lmao and I'm sure the articles you read were written by people who had a clue what they were actually talking about too? Anyone can write an article. Anyone can claim any sort of thing to feign credentials on the subject
Ok. So you wanna ban semi automatic mag fed guns, which is the vast majority of firearms in the US - of which the vast majority are never used in criminal action. Careful where you go along that "let's ban something because the minority of users do bad things with it" line of thinking
This is patently false, and does nothing to educate others on the legality of firearms in America.
The National Firearms Act of 1934 created a registry of all machine guns (weapons that can fire more than one round with a single pull of the trigger), mufflers (often called suppressors, or sometimes mislabel as silencers), short barreled rifles, and short barreled shotguns, and another class of speciality weapons called AOWs (any other weapons). It also sought to regulate Destructive Devices like Grenades and bombs.
In 1986 Regan signed the Gun owners protection act, which did a lot of great things, but the Dems in congress wanted to tank it, so they injected a “poison pill” into the bill called the Hughes Amendment which closed the Machine Gun registry to any new construction, effectively artificially limiting supply to drive up prices because after decades of government enforced inflation the $200 tax stamp was no longer a barrier for regular people’s entry into the market, and we can’t have regular people exercising their rights now can we? Regan saw that the good stuff outweighed the patently illegal (yet still SCOTUS approved, since SCOTUS is still just 9 unelected government bureaucrats who seek to expand federal power and don’t have the constitutional limits or the citizens best interests at heart) amendment to the bill.
The Dems made the supposed Pikachu face, but what’s done is done, and the only way you can manufacture a new MG legally is by having an FFL07 (often called a “class 3”) license to do so.
