If there was no law against owning full autos, no tax, no registration, no forms, nothing not even state laws how many here would convert all or at least most of thier guns back to the originally planed capabilities of the firearm?

Assault is a behavior not a device.
Assault is almost always done by people from the political left. |
|
You can shit in one hand and wish in the other, see wich one fills up faster.
But hypothetically, all of them. |
|
I might consider an SBR and some suppressors, but I have no use for a full auto. Even if I did, I couldn't afford the ammo.
|
|
Why not? Happy switch on every firearm I own sounds just fine to me.
|
|
Better to have and not need than to need and not have.
Happy switch, FTW. |

I mean converting the guns if it was legal would cost next to nothing and having it doesn't mean you need to use it. I just can't see anyone turning down the capability. |

I'd probably convert one of my ARs, and buy a 10-22 to convert.
|
|
A small percentage of my collection, strictly for defensive reasons. The rest would remain semi to save ammo and to save on firearm life.
Oh, and what is an assault rifle anyways? |
|
If I am still buying my own ammo then screw full auto. OTOH every last one will have a suppressor though. Especially the Mosin.

I might do one just to have it but its not as much fun when you have to buy your own ammo...

Meh... You'd have to get rid of the GCA of 1968 and the import ban of 89 to really get the effect you are looking for.
If the trifecta were repealed, I'd head down to Walmart and get a new MP5 and a couple of cases of 9mm. Why convert when you would be able to buy a whole machine gun at a fair price again? |
|
I guess I'm wondering if the NFA and other laws against full auto never existed would we still have semi auto M4gery's and M-16A1 clones?

Nope Why not? Need training and discipline. Availability of full auto would subconsciously make me lose focus on shot placement thus making me like third world idiots. If I had training and experience under pressure then sure. But I don't. |

Hell no.
I can barely afford to keep the Black Bullet Eater fed now. |
|
Since practically all full auto firearms have a semi- setting, I can't see why you wouldn't go FA with them all. It's not like you're losing semi-auto capability.

Your saying if they were all full auto you couldn't control yourself? No, it is just an unneeded option. If I did convert a firearm, I would want to get my money out of the cost of the conversion, thus shooting on full auto. If I don't ever plan on using it for full auto, why would I ever convert it in the first place. The reason to not convert it is to save ammo and to save on lifespan. |
|
Uhh duh, shit man I'd convert a glock or two to full auto while I'm at it.
|
|
Nah probably not but I would make it a point to buy my a belt fed ASAP

Quoted: shit man I'd convert a glock or two to full auto while I'm at it. Select fire slide cover plates are cheap and 15 seconds to install and remove. No reason not to have one around without the NFA34 (or FOPA86.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K13xfC4EOfQ |

As inexpensive as it might be to convert, it would add up quickly. Every auto loading rifle I bought after that would definitely have a giggle switch, though. |

If it was leagel I would, but only really use it w/ .22's or 7.62x39.
|
|
All my AR15 work just fine how they are.. I my buy a11.5 upper for a truck/HD carbine but 3 round burst/full auto is not something I want..
|
|
I would probably have one. On the other hand, I would SBR/SBS or supress ALL of them.
