you need a TAX stamp to buy a pre-1986 fully automatic weapon. You need a Class III License to sell pre-1986 machine guns. Post 1986 machine guns cannot be owned by private citizens. You need a police request letter or a military contract as a dealer to possess post 1986 "dealer samples"
generally-if it is hand held and shoots a pistol cartridge it is either an SMG or a machine pistol. If it shoots an intermediate cartridge-it is an assault rifle (M16, AK 47, etc). If it shoots a full sized battle rifle cartridge (8mm , 303, 30-06 or 762 NATO) it is an Automatic Rifle (BAR, M14, FN-FAL)
Gun lovers constantly state that no mass shooting has ever been committed with an automatic firearm. Did this just change ?
"Six people were killed and ten injured in a mass shooting in California's capital city early Sunday morning as a gunman with an automatic rifle opened fired on a group of revelers fighting outside a bar...."
At least six killed in drive-by shooting after Sacramento bars let out
At least six people were killed and ten injured after shots rang out in California's capital city early Sunday morning. Witnesses saw a person in a car shooting into a crowd after the bars let out.www.dailymail.co.uk
So will gun owners cede that automatic firearms are very deadly now ?
do you know where most of the prohibition era gangsters got their machine guns?
It’s been a long time since I had one broke down that far bu I believe I would remember how to do it.
The ATF requires semi autos to be "difficult to convert" years ago some of the Tech Nine faux machine pistols operated from an OPEN BOLT. BTW those are easy to convert-so easy that the ATF classified them as machine guns. Long story but they were really easy to convert. I know how-I won't publicly divulge it but it took less than a minute. It's probably on the internet.
Well, the Police Chief says the investigation is in its "very preliminary status". I'll wait for the official word.Gun lovers constantly state that no mass shooting has ever been committed with an automatic firearm. Did this just change ?

Pistol caliber vs. rifle rounds.
stupid response. I doubt that company sold anything directly to gangsters. Try again
few real automatic weapons were in the pipeline for civilian ownership. The military, police and NG armories had most of the small number of supplies that were available
hunting?
I once smuggled a Mac-10 across the border for a fellow Ironworker who wasn't allowed to cross. He said the conversion was a simple thing in the circles he moved in.
