For those who just have to have the thrill of firing an automatic weapon, there are legal ways to do this.
I don’t really much care one way or the other on this particular issue. I don’t see it as critical or pivotal. I like guns but am not a “gun nut”. I surely do believe in the Second Amendment and love to see stories of law abiding armed citizens putting a hurt on the bad guys.
I can’t figure the attraction but I certainly support people who want to shoot full auto. I’ve shot quite a few full-auto weapons and all I could think of was the money it was costing in ammo. To me it’s a waste of time unless you’re going to a war somewhere but I appreciate the historical significance of what some collectors do.
I don’t own a gun. But if I wanted a gun, it wouldn’t be that I want the “thrill of firing” an automatic weapon.
It’s that I would like to be allowed to exercise my constitutional right to OWN an automatic weapon because it is the weapon I CHOOSE for that purpose.
And it’s not for the thrill, it’s to protect my liberties.
