Why do people seem to be down on "select-fire" weapons here? The 2nd amendment prohibits the federal government from making laws relating to arms - period. It should be between me and the dealer if I want to go to a store and trade some cash for a piece of artillery. The government should not be involved. ALL federal laws restricting weapons ownership are immoral, illegal and should be repealed, as should any and all state laws.
That was the great RKBA division of '34, I believe. That was the last time there was real success at spalling off one group of firearms owners and declaring their arms a 'device of evil'.

Yes, but the hit parade of infringements just keeps coming and coming.
As long as people are too stupid or historically challenged to realize the founders (who had just wrested control from a tyrannical government) wanted the people to be armed to guard themselves against tyranny, the infringements will continue.
Hunting was viewed as a 'right' in need of protection about as much as we would seek to protect the right to go grocery shopping today.
