I've always found it interesting that the states with the most stringent anti-gun laws were among the highest producers of firearms.
Out of all those
registered machineguns, how many were used in crimes?
274,959....well that's all they know about.
As for Phil's question on who the manufactureres are: I have no idea. Many, most, of us sheeple believe that we can't have machineguns in any way shape or form, that there only "issued" to police or soldiers out of arms rooms.
The way I read the law: Any person serving in the military could legally aquire and
own a full auto (don't know about afterwards when he gets out) same with LEO's) Has the NFA of '34 been modified? additional statues added?
Can you imagin the panic from the folks at VPC if mere Army privates started calling Bushmaster with thier credit cards and ordering M16's? How about FN: "Uuh, yes sir, I'd like to order a M249 squad automatic weapon and a tri-pod....."
Sorry for the tangent, injustice always gets me
