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.

It is legal.

"any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger"

Idiots somewhere are calling the accessory illegal of and by itself.

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.
