Why exactly do people buy automatic weapons? Other than being completely paranoid that about total anarchy, there's no real point. You going to go deer hunting with that automatic?
I never could understand someone who buys automatic weapons. I can only assume it's the fun factor and thrill of the shoot, but $1000 + shooting range costs? Sounds like a fucking expensive toy that you'll get no true/real use out of. Not to mention the cost of ammo, which is endless...
Why do you have to make two trips? the lower receiver is the only part of an AR15 that is considered a firearm. The upper receiver might as well be any other chunk of metal in the ATF's eyes, they can be sold and shipped without a FFL. Unless the upper is a SBR, that's a whole different ball game.

wikipedia said:For civilian possession, all machineguns must have been manufactured prior to May 19, 1986 to be transferable between citizens. These machinegun prices have drastically escalated in value, and are literally “worth their weight in gold” – especially items like registered sears and conversion-kits. Only a Class-II manufacturer (a FFL holder licensed to manufacture firearms or Type-07 license that has paid a Special Occupational Tax Stamp or SOT) could manufacture machineguns after that date, and they can only be sold to Government, law-enforcement, and military entities. Transfer can only be done to other SOT FFL-holders, and such FFL-holders must have a “demonstration letter” from a respective Government agency to receive such machineguns. Falsification and/or misuse of the “demo-letter” process can and has resulted in long jail sentences and felony convictions for violators.
I'd love to take you out to the range one day man date . Anyone with an aversion to firearms that I have taken to a range has always loved it and begged me to take them back or show them more guns. I get the impression that you haven't really been around firearms or people that own them and enjoy the hobby. We aren't all redneck bunker hiding anarchists.
It's a blast to go shooting. It can be a fun hobby or you can join clubs and shoot competitively. I have never been hunting, but I'd imagine that's pretty exciting too.
This is one of those things that you can't fully comprehend until you have tried it yourself.
Where do you live Weioo? (What country/state?)
I am of german heritage and the blood of the dane does run through my veins so i have my own religions.
I will not bore you.
But good that you're exercising your rights to own firearms.
Agreed.
But do you knock AR owners who don't customize their firearm? Why bash AK owners who treat their weapon respectfully?

That's true. I'd add price as another redeeming factor though.
well said. my fiance and a coworker are two examples of this.
when you actually learn about firearms, and get the chance to use them, you treat them like the tool that they are.
