What I’ve failed to understand is why for all of these years, ownership of fully automatic firearms has basically been prohibited (through grandfathering) in the United States since 1986 and 1978 in Canada, but people have been allowed to watch Arnold and Sylvester and other Hollywood actors cut people up using those types of firearms in movies. It would be interesting to have severe restrictions on such movies that depict violent uses of those types of firearms, but allow persons of good character to be able to go to approved shooting ranges to make use of these sorts of rifles.

Nope. If you have the money and paperwork, there are a lot of states you can own full auto firearms. New ones after 1986, no. (I think) but other than that it's perfectly legal in a lot of places. Sure someone has it handy how many full auto firearms are privately held/owned. Don't know about Canada. 🤔🍿🍻🇺🇸
