Ummmmmmmmmm... actually, I can legally build them and have them added to the NFRTR on Form 2. :)

Otherwise you're right - Joe Doe Gun Owner can not.

I have long thought that if guns are ever banned in the US, countries like Venezuela will make sure that the US gangbangers, revolutionary leftists, black nationalists and other scumbags, get all the AK’s, Explosive Ordnance, and other weaponry they need.

I imagine it will be the same (or already is) for Mexico.

"Responding to a reporter's question on weapons' regulations, Holder said, "Well, as President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons. I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum."

"Holder refused to speculate when legislation would move forward. "There are obviously a number of things that are -- that have been taking up a substantial amount of [Obama's] time, and so, I'm not sure exactly what the sequencing will be," he said."

I consider this an eyewitness account. Thanks. Very informative.

yes we can. it's just a matter of whether you have the contacts to buy such weapons illegally.

No sh** Dick Tracy, what gave you the clue?

Sorry, couldn't resist. We used to use that line back in the day! The only reason the AP and other commie rags are running these stories and the reason Holder is bitching about them is to try to fool the American public, the non gun owning part of the American public, into accepting strict gun laws that take away ALL of our firearms. It is already illegal to won full auto weapons without a special permit, and most people aren't going to try and get one, and full autos are not available in most gun stores. Why would they carry something there is not much of a market for?

All lies with one aim, to disarm us folks, so bambi and the boys can do what they want with impunity.

If someone, including, and probably especially, the government, wants to disarm you they do NOT have your welfare in mind.

The purpose of a gun ban is to render the middle class defenseless against intimidation.

Translated this means,"We don't think we can push a bill through yet, but as soon as the fake attempt on the President's life is planned and carried out we will be able to ban anything we want!".

Look for it soon. Either that or they are trying to make things so miserable for the public that some nut case will try it on their own.

How can you do this without registering your lower?

You just brought to mind the Chinese (COSCO) container ship full of Klashnikov's (ostensibly destined for street gangs) that was busted at Long Beach during the Clinton administration.

Gun fire can be heard in most American cities on New Years, but I've never heard full-auto weapons being fired, at least not in the San Diego area.

Apparently the author hasn't spent New Year's Eve in Mira Mesa. There was plenty of fully automatic fire at the start of 1998 & 1999 in Mira Mesa. At the 1998 transition, a neighbor emptied two 15 round mags from a semi-auto pistol into the air. That was obviously fired one at a time. The full auto stuff came from a location further south. It had the perfect auto cadence of an AK-47. The dunce easily emptied a complete 30 rd mag into the air.

Oh, I believe the Left's intent is to go way beyond Intimidation.

Remember, Ayers said we need to get rid of about 25 million people.

That would include us.

And Ayers isn't just some blathering loon.

"Klashnikov's (ostensibly destined for street gangs)"

I'm a news junkie, but I guess I missed that one. I'll have to do a search to see if that story is still around.

Were specific gangs or demographics mentioned at the time?

Aside from the incorrect comment about "full auto" around San Diego, the article is spot on. The gang bangers in southern California have been arming and stockpiling for most of the last 10 years. They are quite ready for a very intense battle. Don't underestimate the firepower they can bring to bear.

ATTENTION: White House Lurkers . . . time for you to catch a clue.

"I thought guns were illegal in Mexico." He chuckled and said, "So you stayed in town last night?" As the conversation progressed, it became clear that guns are as common in Mexico as tamales at Christmas. Everyone he knows, including himself, own at least one gun. And, it matters not whether it's a semi-auto or fully automatic, (since) they're all illegal, … why stop with semi-autos? Though clearly illegal in the states in most instances, a lot of Mexicans have more firepower in terms of military weapons than we can only dream of owning here.

Lets review… (since) they're all illegal, … why stop with semi-autos?

Anything resembling a thought or clue going on with yall? Perhaps those bans that violate the Second Amendment are not such a good idea after all?

If you “google” COSCO + AK-47’s, you’ll get articles about it from several sources.
