Gun control is damn near the equivalent of car control

I am no firearms expert and I can't say they didn't use a small part of the shooting to make their own points and left out other parts.

Now if they can provide a full unedited video of the shooting start to finish with this type of analysis, I would be open to make different judgements.

Paddock is a huge anomaly in mass shootings in many many ways if you dive deeply into the story IMO

What difference does it make how fast the gun can fire if you can shoot and kill somebody with a revolver I don't get the point of being upset about this.

Even in a battlefield a machine gun isn't effective at taking out people it's meant to make them duck.

I can get the same result with this....

Im referring to overall idea that guns have been continued to be legislated and controlled over time and to no correlated effect on the population.
Ex. Automatic weapons were made illegal in 1986. There are more mass shooting post 86 than pre 86.
Automatic weapons are not illegal.
The stupidity level of this thread is painful.

Federal regulation FFA 34 and OPA 86 influences availability, requires special permit and tax, and prevents new manufacture.

There is no permit required. You fill out a form 4, submit $200 for the tax stamp and they conduct the same exact background check that NICS does.

Agreed. The NFA registry is a registry of who has paid the taxes. That is how it remained since a registry of firearm owners is prohibited under the GOPA of 1986.

Here is then Attorney General Homer Stille Cummings’ famous testimony on the National Firearms Act of 1934.

“Oh, we do not attempt to escape it. We are dealing with another power, namely, the power of taxation, and of regulation under the interstate commerce clause. You see, if we made a statute absolutely forbidding any human being to have a machine gun, you might say there is some constitutional question involved. But, when you say, “We will tax the machine gun” and when you say that “the absence of a license showing payment of the tax has been made indicates that a crime has been perpetrated,” you are easily within the law.”

Like I said - automatic weapons are not illegal.
$200 tax stamp.

There are lots of ways to have them in possession illegally, so your statement is misleading. They are not available for purchase "legally" as most other commercially available mass market firearms.
Given the different regulations, the reality is that automatic weapons are effectively prohibited by complex statute.

You really don’t understand firearms laws. They are absolutely available for purchase “legally”. The only stipulation is that they have to have been manufactured prior to 1986.

309 listed for sale on Gun Broker.

 
As usual you do not read.
Until they can be purchased at Cabela's, they are NOT "commercially available mass market firearms".
Is that a private definition of “commercially available mass market firearms”? Why do you keep moving the goal posts?

You said they could not be purchased legally. I proved that you were either ignorant or lying (or both).

Yes they are. You can walk into any class 3 dealer and purchase one today.

No they aren’t.

Cabela’s isn’t class 3 dealer.
 
Please expand on your unpolished observations.
Wrong is a very simple little word.
It means that you are incorrect.
Polish that. 😂

You do not seem to understand even that simple concept of "wrong", if you cannot explain how firearms can be "legal" and "illegal" depending upon the details.
