And white police officers gun down black teenagers pretty much every day.

Does “I was able to go out and buy an automatic weapon” mean that he actually did so?

Im betting he doesnt have a Class III, and he claimed on air that he’d purchased an automatic weapon. Maybe a call to the ATF tip line is in order.

Funny, I remember pay an exorbitant price for an old Colt lower at a Class III dealer, going to an attorney and getting a gun trust, and waiting about 8 months for my tax stamp to process before I got my M-16.

Sure you can.
All you have to do find an automatic weapon for sale - there are not a lot of them since they stopped allow the sale of new automatic weapons in 1968.
Then you pay a vastly inflated price for said weapon (remember no new automatic weapons after 1968).
Finally you have to get a tax stamp.

This is all assuming, of course, you pass your check.

Oh, and you have to have a safe to store the weapon, and the BATFE can descend on you at any time to see if you still have the weapon and that it is stored in the safe.

In ‘95 I was at an unmonitored public range in the forest shooting with a friend. Suddenly here comes three boom-box thumping 20’’ rimmed pimpmobiles. Two were late ‘70’s purple Capris’. One was a new Audi or BMW. The new-car homie brings out a suitcase and is trailed by a couple of hookers and some down-dressed surly guys from the cheaper pimpmobiles. Leader guy opens the case and it’s full of (loaded) full auto short machine guns, all banging together. He handed them out and the follower-guys pointed them downrange and pulled the trigger. The guns quickly climbed to directly overhead as they dumped their entire clips in something around 2 seconds. My buddy and I ran.

With all the gun shows I’ve attended and gun NUTS I’ve known, nobody has ever shown me a machine gun or offered to get one, sell one, or even talked about knowing somebody with one. The incident above is the only time I’ve ever (outside a museum) been confronted with a real machine gun in the wild. They simply are not generally available. Further, if they were I’d have heard about it.

It is too expensive and too much of a hassle for most to even try.
Why go through all that when you can obtain a semi auto version of that same rifle and buy a bump stock or some such device for a fraction of the cost. Yeah, I know that a bump fired ar-15 doesn’t perform as well as a full-auto m4, but it is a fairly close approximation for the cost.

Violent criminals buy illegal weapons illegally.
Normal, non-violent law-abiding citizens can’t.
Is that what he means? I think the a$$hole has confused criminals and normal people in his faulty liberal mind.

Actually, most people can buy an automatic weapon. Just requires more paperwork and an extra $200 tax and some extra time.

I saw this exchange last night. And he's the best CNN's got?

I think even Van Jones knew the clown was wrong.

Lemon always has his agenda when giving his “version” of facts and “news”.

Truth always proves this goofball wrong.

If you live in a free state, can own a gun, have plenty of money and feel like waiting over a year for the government to bother getting around to putting a $200 stamp on your application you can get a real automatic weapon. But only one that was made before May 19, 1986. There are approximately 175,000 automatic firearms that have been licensed by the BATF.

Oh, and did I mention having lots of money?

He’s on par with Katie Couric.

During the Washington, D.C. sniping murders. she was interviewing a BATF guy. When they got around to AR-16s, she said, “I understand what makes these guns so dangerous is that they have spirals in the barrel.”

The BATF guy, to his credit, didn’t burst into hysterical laughter, but he gave he one of those “You’ve GOT to be kidding” looks, kept calm and just said “Yes, Ma’am”.

I was ROTFLMAO all over the place. In this day and age, and she didn’t know about rifling? Mother of God. From then on, even though she had nice legs, I looked u[on her as a clueless clown in all things.

Tell Don it’s true. That down here in Texas they’re sold at walmart and white people get to go to the front of the check out line. He will likely believe it.
