Please help me with something. If a weapon is defined as “sub” such as a submachine gun, I believed that the projectiles were below supersonic.

Is that the case, or have I learned wrong?

‘Semiautomatic Assault Pistol’

I still remember the 1960s when the most feared handgun was the five and six shot.22 “Saturday Night Special”!

All the politicians and news media spent buckets of ink screaming how they needed to be banned. In 1968, foreign made small handguns were banned, from the cheapo RG brands to the high dollar Baby Browning. US made pistols were still allowed to be made.

I remember, in 1970, The Denver Post had an article of the SNS and claimed any firearm selling for less that $50 at that time was a Saturday Night Special. They used a photo of a Ruger Mark II as a typical SNS.

Assault pistol? Now they’re just making stuff up.

No, they are indeed idiots and they are politicians who like to misuse the language.

As I understand it, a SMG is a term coined by the Developer of the Thompson, because it fired pistol rounds and not rifle rounds, which made him feel like it was not worthy to be called a machine gun.

so full auto pistol calibers are SMGs if I understand it correctly

Remember 1968 when the Treasury dept raided an unlicensed sub machine gun making company in SO Cal? It was knocked out of the headlines by the murder of Bobby Kennedy.

It was found the guns were for shipment to South America and had ties to the Johnson Administration.

My bad. Try this one. Yes, you can own machineguns in most US states. $200 tax stamp, a ton of patience and about a year of ATF processing. Impact Guns is a class III dealer. Their stock has diminished, looks like most stock has been purchased.

Wow how likely is it a 70 y o man would own one Where do you buy one?

That 70 year old man would have been 33 in 1986 when further restrictions were put on machine guns. Lots of us 70+ year olds have some neat guns. No full auto here, but if I could afford one, I'd get one.
