In Don Lemon:
OK Don, let’s see you go buy a few.
To legally own a machine gun, you have to be willing to a) pay a $200 tax per transfer, wait 8-14 months for the ATF to approve, and the weapon is registered with FedGov until it is destroyed. And oh, by the way, since 1986, it is illegal for a citizen to own a newly-manufactured machine gun, you have to pick from the rapidly-dwindling universe of machine guns available for transfer (i.e., ones that were on the list since 1968).
And also, there are many, many states (CA, IL, MA, NY, NJ) where NFA transfers are either no longer allowed, or require so much money and power to get through that nobody tries.
So, probably somewhere between 500,000 and 1M people in the free states of the US could each own one legal, NFA-taxed machine gun.
Makes one wonder if being ignorant is a criteria for being hired at CNN. Or his superiors are just as ignorant or they are all just farm animal stupid.
And they get paid big bucks for being ignorant and stupid.
What a gig.
