Full auto necessary ?.

[cedrick]

Is full auto really needed besides the fun setting ? and mabey the poo hitting the fan scnario, couldn't ya accomplish the same thing with a semi ?I mean like 3 or 4 ar's instead of just 1 m-16 ,and on the ban that I read about I think in ILL making it illegal to own assult wepons,ect would class 3 fall under an out right ban like that. And if the poo did hit the fan there would be curfiues and the military every where, so would it be really needed ,I mean it probably wouldnt be like ww2 or Iraq more like afew sept 11 attacks not a hole lot we could do but would cause major caos. so what do ya think ? Really , besides that I have way too much free time and need a job :P

I think the more appropriate question, when considering the Second Amendment as a founding principle in this idea, is why not? Why should you not have access to and ownership of a FA weapon?

[WillysWagon]

I agree with BadShot, it's not the need, it's the right.
As a citizen of the US, I should have the right to own whatever I want.

One can look at it this way:
We don't need fast food places - we can cook at home
We don't need cars - we can ride bikes or walk to work

For me, shooting is a hobby, an uber cool hobby. As a law abiding citizen, I don't want anyone to diminish/limit my right to own whatever I want. The 2nd Amendment does not specify flint lock, single shot, bolt action, auto loader or belt fed. Whenever we give an inch, the Anti-Gun crowd will take a mile.



Of course I'd love to have a 'FA' for when the Zombie Hoards come :mrgreen:

[7idl]

we HAVE the right to have what ever the .gov has.

gotta keep those bastages in check.

but as we can see.... things are not as our founding fathers wished.

what we have here is a situation which the 2nd was put in place for... but we haven't done a damn thing about it :cry:

Look at what all happened after Katrina. I'm sure that there were individuals who needed a MG there and didn't have it. Cops shooting people in the back, people pillaging, etc.

I would have wanted one.

Ok lets look at cost , with a fam of lets say5, 1 class 3 for 14000 or 4 nicely equiped ar's for 6000 is the one worth the 4. I agree we should be able to buy class 3 s with out licenes ect at a resanable price. But unfourtantly thats not the case here any more. :cry:

High cost is ONLY because of the BAN on them.
If there was no ban, the cost WOULD be reasonable.

[BadShot]

There are several countries in Europe where they are not restricted and the prices are mere fractions of what we pay here in the states... supply and demand, God bless the market economy

Limited usefulness

Pat Rogers calls it the "group therapy setting"

But it should be my decision...not some govt afraid of its citizens

[robsterclaw]

All you have to do is go browse gunbroker and you can see the cost difference in a FA that was preban, and a postban FA that only law enforcement or a dealer demo can own. If memory serves me, I've seen M16's for LE use only,cost under 2k while an M16 FA preban was 14k.

I do like tha fact FA's are too expensive for the average person to go buy, but I would like to see the cost be half of what it is. I could swing buying an Uzi for $3,500, but no way can I swing it for 7K
