As far as machine guns go, you and I (assuming you are not a convicted felon) can legally buy a machine gun if you pay the $200 transfer tax on top of the hefty price of a pre-1986 manufactured machinegun. The type of assault rifle which is to be banned is semi-automatic which means it fires one bullet each time you pull the trigger. "Tommy" guns and other automatic weapons fire continuously as the trigger is held - thus firing faster than the present semi-automatic rifles being considered for bannning again. The gun show loophole should be closed in its own legislation. The banning of "assault rifles" which do look like military weapons but do not function the same is a flashy way to say "I am fighting crime!" while in reality this type of weapon is used in a miniscule percentage of crimes.<br />Enforcing current gun laws would be a step forward, but many people seeking to circumvent prohibitions on purchase and many felons caught with weapons are never charged with the appropriate crime.TLWizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060646315960117032noreply@blogger.com
