Re: Bazookas and machine guns are commonly referred to as class III weapons and/or destructive devices, which require a very special license to own. The “Feds” have been licensing machine guns since 1934. To own a machine gun, one must first live in a state where it is legal, and then complete a Federal licensing process that, as I understand, takes a few months. To the best of my knowledge, only one legally owned machine gun has been used in a crime in the U.S. since 1934, and the owner was a member of the law enforcement community.

And it only takes less than a minute to find this on the internet... "On September 15th, 1988, a 13-year veteran of the Dayton, Ohio police department, Patrolman Roger Waller, then 32, used his fully automatic MAC-11 .380 caliber submachine gun to kill a police informant, 52-year-old Lawrence Hileman. Patrolman Waller pleaded guilty in 1990, and he and an accomplice were sentenced to 18 years in prison." This from http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091002085916AAGkj65

However, BOR or his research staff are too busy... to take that minute to find out the facts--
