A 'machine gun'...to kill one person. If only the guy in question had been restricted to a .44. :roll: And the weapon you cited hardly qualifies as an 'assault rifle'.
I posted several and could post more...hell...pretty much ALL of them. The mass murders in this country typically have nothing to do whatsoever with high magazine capacity. Frankly...high magazine capacity creates an undisciplined and far less effective shooter. But none of that matters. Its comical that people pretend they REAAAALLYY arent after gun bans...and then they are chiming in right along with usual collection of anti-gun morons completely ignoring the facts.Not to mention they make up no more than 2% of all firearm related violence.
Your claim was the moronic claim.

I just see it as more incrimentalism, so don't give em an inch because they'll never stop there.
Congratulations catawba, you have reached your gold of derailing the thread with pointless twaddle.
Please tell me where I am "Wrong".
And...it DOES matter that these weapons were designed with the sole purpose of killing humans.
What...pray tell, is a REAL ASSAULT RIFLE?
"Since the Firearms Owners' Protection Act of May 19, 1986, ownership of newly manufactured machine guns has been prohibited to civilians. Machine guns which were manufactured prior to the Act's passage are regulated under the National Firearms Act, but those manufactured after the ban cannot ordinarily be sold to or owned by civilians.Since 1934, there appear to have been at least two homicides committed with legally owned automatic weapons.
One was a murder committed by a law enforcement officer (as opposed to a civilian). On September 15th, 1988, a 13-year veteran of the Dayton, Ohio police department, Patrolman Roger Waller, then 32, used his fully automatic MAC-11 .380 caliber submachine gun to kill a police informant, 52-year-old Lawrence Hileman. Patrolman Waller pleaded guilty in 1990, and he and an accomplice were sentenced to 18 years in prison. The 1986 'ban' on sales of new machine guns does not apply to purchases by law enforcement or government agencies. "

Seriously though, would you own an assault rifle? And if so, why?
SCOTUS has made it clear, that Americans have the right to keep and carry firearms.
But they also made it clear, that common-sense regulations upon this right...are Constitutional.
any attempt to take away all guns, or prevent the sale of handguns, or prevent the carry of all handguns, would be tossed out of court
he was losing (almost always the case) so he does the squid thing
Perhaps someone might be able to direct you to a lawyer to help you interpret the legal definitions I provided.
still spamming idiocy rather than making salient points? when it comes to laws there are two types of individuals
those under military law and those who are civilians and answer in civilian court. The FBI, DEA, ATF, state police, city police county sheriffs all are civilians in terms of what laws apply
so your yapping is just that-yapping
Legal definition of civilian: "Civilian is a person not serving in military or a person who does not belong to a particular group or engage in a particular activity. Any activity pursued by an ordinary citizen can be called a civilian pursuit. "
you are wrong claiming that the only purpose is to kill people
Weapons were created foe ONE purpose..Period. ask the military!
dayton cop is a civilian...Cop
wow two cases -the second case is not listed..two more than zero
in Dayton the police will not sign off on Class III stamps. he got the chief LEO consent since he is a cool
the fact remains banning registration and sales of post May 19, 1986 MGs was not due to crime control
Try as you might///no one needs a machine gun...unless they want to kill folk.

A lot of people do own them though, and almost none of them ever kill someone with one. Someone (you?) tried to dig up info and found only two cases of it ever happening. Most people who own them have them for collector's purposes or as a play-toy for shooting up stuff on the range. There is no data to support the notion that people buy machine guns only to kill people... in fact the data is very much against that notion.
And by the way...
"Assault rifle" =/= machine gun
twice a year somewhere near Louisville Ky at a place called KNOB CREEK there is a huge automatic weapons owners convention where massive amounts of ammo is consumed and the public can rent and fire machine guns from small stuff like a Mac 11 to a quad fifty
I don't think anyone has ever been killed or even shot at there
so the clownish crap that the only reason why people "need" automatic weapons is to kill people is just plain clownish
Try as you might///no one needs a machine gun...unless they want to kill folk.

This is so utterly moronic you should feel embarrassed for yourself.
That is the legal definition of civilian. If you had read even further, you would have learned that back before the 19th century we actually had civilian volunteers serving as police. By the end of the 19th century however all the civilian forces had been replaced by a professional trained police force.
