It is legal to purchase, own and fire automatic weapons.... FYI

[DidUHearThat? 10+ year member]

What the article doesn't say is that because no new full auto machine guns can be made, there is a fixed number of them and increasing number of buyers. Limited supply x increasing demand = skyrocketing prices. Actually the supply is dwindling as some are destroyed over time due to wear or gov't.

"Cheap" machine guns like the Mac 10/11 start at about $4000-$5000. AR-15's/M16's start at about $10,000. HK MP5's are about $15,000 - $20,000.

And the mother of all machine guns; the .50 BMG M1/M2 can go for $50,000, without a tripod!

If you can afford one, they are a good investment because the value has been climbing quickly the last 20 years, and there is no end in sight.

This, of course, is assuming you live in a state where such beasts are legal.

I was looking at Pre-ban M4s and MP5s and they were like 10k plus some up to 20k with all of the sights and attachments.

Little too rich for my blood.

I agree with the right to have a gun but i dont under stand why people need/want assault weapons??
can some one chime in?

Why do you "agree with the right to have a gun"? What do you think a gun is for?

Target shooting? Hunting? Scare a prowler?

You have a duty, an obligation, to have a miltary grade rifle for defense of your person, family, community and country.

50 years ago, the japanese considered invading the US mainland. The Japanese General Yamamoto said he had been to America, and they could never invade because "there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass".

I feel its ok to have one for protection but I dont think I need a huge one to take out the entire block.

I know some people feel diffrantly but thats how I feel.

I wouldnt agree with a ban becasue I feel its your right to own whatever you want

I don't want one myself but I don't like some fatass bureaucrat telling me I can't have one. The government taking away gun rights one by one is not a good thing. Once they have the guns taken away the other rights can slip away a lot faster.

why dont americans fight for other rights they have as much as they do the right to carry automatic weapons?

I thought it was to ensure your slaves stayed in check and so that any escaped ones could not harm your family? However, i may agree with you but thats not why it was put into the constitution.

I cant figure out how to word this right without putting it into a 500 word essay but...So many firearm owners advocate that they own them for family protection. Do these same people store 3-6 months of clean water, 3-6 months worth of food as well? Do they stock gas masks, teach their children fire escape plans, practice what to do if their house ever is broken in to when they are home? where to go incase of a bombing? Does every member of your house know where it is stored and how to Properly use a firearm as well as other self defence weapons ? Do you teach all your family members survival? Do you have a survival kit in the car? Do all your family members know industrial first aid as a minimum? Do they know defensive driving? Because death\harm to home invasion is alot lower then alot of other problems that could happen to a family so if you really do care about your family's protection and im sure everyone does, insure everyone has the chance to survive a disaster. Including yourself.

If you own a firearm for home protection should you not have one in almost every room as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Does your house have working smoke detectors even //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I don't have a family, so I don't need that type of plans. But I do have water and canned goods in the event of power outtage of grocery stores.

However, the odds of getting my house broken into are far greater than the odds of me being unable to access food and water.

I think because most people who are pro-gun instinctively realize that the right to bear arms is our best and last defense against aggressors. On a personal level and national level. And our government isn't what it started out to be. Now it is out for it's own best interest and not ours.

 

[mcsoul 10+ year member]

It's in the fricking Constitution of the United States.

It should not be a right we have to fight for.

When is the last time a legal collector of exotic weapons

went ape shit and took out his block?

 

[SilverSquared 10+ year member]

Automatics for private/personal use are WORTHLESS. If you cant hit them with 1 fuggin shot, DONT shoot everything else around them. That makes YOU look like the criminal. If I dont hit you with my shot, pray to ALL forms of gods I cant see you, because I will hit with the 2nd shot.

S&W 500.

Ruger P345

Ruger P95

Pick your pill. Any listed will put you to sleep, 1 shot at a time.

You are a victim of propaganda to say such a thing.

Yes to everything on that list, and more. I can add I also have fire extinguishers on each floor of my home and in both cars. I have an active fire system that is intergrated to the alarm and will automatically call for help.

I don't need a gun in everyroom, because I have one on my hip.
