There's no need for automatic guns?! I've been around guns my whole entire life and i can tell you, if your a gun guru, THERES A NEED FOR AN AUTOMATIC GUN. Its for the thrill, the challenge , moving up to the next level of your hobby. Thats like saying a person who loves cars and tries to buy the fastest one out there. Theres no need to have a car 1000hp, but its moving up to the next level, its a hobby. Hell, even us car audio guys, do you really think we need to be listening to music at 155+ dbs? No, but because its something we love to do, something we live for, we push to get the loudest vehicle possible.
Also, does Obama really think that this will cut down criminal acts? First of all, what criminal is going to go to the nearest Gander Mt. to buy a M16/AR15 were they run background checks? If a Criminal really wants a gun, im sure he'll be buying his "Assault Rifle" in some downtown back alley way.
