How did a guy get full auto weapons? They are anything but cheap to obtain.

Easy and cheap conversions are possible.

"How did a guy get full auto weapons? They are anything but cheap to obtain."

That's assuming that he obtained them legally. It's hard to know at this point but this is one of the two things I'm interested in knowing. The other being how did he get the 10 + guns and ammo into his room (being reported he checked in and didn't leave). No one in as busy a hotel as that noticed that he was bringing that up to his room?

As far as obtaining them, he's 64 which means its even possible that he owned full autos before the 1986 gun laws went into effect. Who knows at this point....

There are devices that can make a semi auto fire rapidly like a full auto...................

I doubt very seriously he had a stamp. Probably one of the easily obtained “hacks” for the do it yourselfer.

If you have the money and pay the transfer fees, not hard. Heard he owned two planes so maybe he had money. Also heard he worked for Lockheed for a while. I worked furor LM for 36 years. Don't think that has anything to do with it. Still way too early for all the politics. Mrs rktman' face book is full of anti gun crap already. 😡

I’ve heard you can get any weapon you want on the dark web, if you have the right contacts and enough cash.

Not necessarily full-auto. A Bump-fire stock gives effectively full-auto rate on a semi rifle.

And a full auto weapon CAN be obtained relatively cheaply. . . if you choose to go outside the law.

There are easily-available plans and directions for building your own full-auto SMG available on the Web. Heck there are shops up in the Khyber Pass that make AK-47’s, purely using hand tools.

The point is, it could be done in a number of ways, some within the law, but most outside of the law...
