not all full auto weapons are illegal
captain tele calling other people mentally ill, now i've seen everything
Because of the way anti-gun nuts conflate it. Modern fully automatic military grade weapons are illegal to own. Here are the criteria to possess a fully automatic weapon:
1. You need to be eligible to possess firearms in general.
2. You must live in a state where NFA items are permitted and machine guns, specifically, are legal to possess (ie not Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, New York, Rhode Island, or Washington)
3. The machine gun you wish to acquire must have been manufactured on or before May 19, 1986. That is the cutoff date for entries to be made in the NFRTR (National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record), the registry of all NFA items in the United States including machine guns.
4. You must locate a Class III dealer (FFL01+SOT) that sells or can transfer in the machine gun you wish to acquire in your state of residence.
5. You must purchase the machine gun upfront prior to transfer and have it shipped to your Class III dealer. For a full-auto M16, this will be anywhere from $12,000 and up. Typical prices for an M16 hover around $14,000 to $16,000.
6. Once purchased and with your dealer, the dealer will fill out the Form 4 application on your behalf to submission to the BATFE and collect your $200 NFA transfer stamp tax.
7. The application will be submitted. Now you wait 8+ months for the full FBI background check and BATFE processing to complete.
8. Once the Form 4 is processed, it will be returned to the dealer along with the tax stamp which is part of your paperwork. You can then take possession of your military grade fully automatic firearm and take it home.
9. The tax stamp must be kept with the firearm it belongs to at all times! The tax stamp is your only affirmative defense to prove you are not in possession of an illegal machine gun. The tax stamp is proof you paid the transfer tax and legally transferred the machine gun. Ranges that allow Class III will want to see the stamp. If you get pulled over and the gun is discovered/inspected, law enforcement will definitely want to see it too. You may be required to present the firearm for inspection on demand by the BATFE.
10. You may not transport the fully automatic firearm across state lines for any purpose without prior consent of the Federal government. You must request this in advance and provide details on where the firearm is going, when you are leaving and when it will return to its registered location of residence.
11. You cannot leave the presence of your fully automatic firearm. If someone else is shooting it, you must be with it, legally speaking. The one exception to this is if you have formed a legal trust for the purpose of possessing the firearm, in which case all beneficiaries of the trust (usually family or employees) may have access to the firearm.
That is a long list of requirements, registrations, federal background checks, and costs to possess an antique fully automatic weapon. Now if you can point to me the list of mass shootings committed with these sorts of weapons, and how they were obtained illegally so we can close up whatever loophole might apply, I'm happy to have that conversation. Otherwise you're arguing that illegal weapons shouldn't be legal.
currently, some fully auto weapons are still legal
Um, for the record, the gun he was using in the attack was already banned in 1986, just for possession of the gun he was firing at those people carries a federal 10 year mandatory prison sentence.
If you're going to roll with the "IF ONLY MORE GUN LAWS!" moral highground argument, at least know what the fuck you're talking about.
I read an article the other day about how in Western countries, the live sperm count in males has dropped to 50 something%. This is a MASSIVE decline in us and its theorized that it is a result of all the chemicals we consume on a daily basis.Here's my question regarding emotionally disturbed people:
why are there so many more of them here?
you don't say
let us have a conversation about mental illness they say
as yet another loony tune bernie bro 2.0 goes on a dangerous killing spree and then demands that we take away guns away form everyone who isn't entirely batshit + deadly dangerous as they are
they say we shouldn't negotiate with terrorists.......but we do that each and every single day we allow these people to set policy for the rest of us
for the prison state and prison colony they so avidly fight and keep killing us for and over.
riddle me that please if anyone would......that the insane asylum inmates want to discuss our mental illness issues now.

at this point, i think you're arguing that [mentally ill] people with enough money, time, and dedication should be allowed to have fully automatic weapons
i don't think that any civilian should have access to any fully automatic weapon
regardless of whether or not a mass killing has happened
currently, some fully auto weapons are still legal
i guess we'll just have to disagree about whether all full-autos should be illegal or not
not surprised he was another bernie bro, the left has
completely lost their minds

By the way, you won't pass an FBI background check if you've had mental health issues.

on the other hand, some japanese porn is pretty fucking odd, right? are they not emotionally disturbed? so where are all their mass killings?
I think you are forgetting about 2 extremely large borders on our nation and then, mistakingly believe that our border control policies catch everything that crosses over.at this point, i think you're arguing that [mentally ill] people with enough money, time, and dedication should be allowed to have fully automatic weapons
