Face it, if the NRA had its way, people would be able to own machine guns.

Absolutely. And NOTHING would change - not a thing. Crime would remain the province of CRIMINALS -who would continue to arm themselves with illegally obtained handguns.

If the "black market" demanded full auto weapons, they would appear, JUST LIKE THAT. Heroin is illegal, but available.

Liberals simply cannot comprehend, it's about the INDIVIDUAL, not the gun.

Yes, of course people can own machine guns, but its a niche market of diminishing - and expensive - quantity.

Practically speaking, they are the exclusive province of hobbyists.

Ideally, full auto weapons should be as easily available as pump shotguns.
