Yeah, I've always wanted to own a GPMG. Anyone know how much transferable FN MAGs cost nowadays? I'm pretty sure that some were bought and registered before '86.

If you have to pay a big enough tax stamp, you should be allowed to own whatever you want. No low life criminal is going to pay a monthly fee to buy a Browning M2 and shoot up the hood, so I see no problem behind it.

Well, $200 isn't that big a tax stamp. It was big in 1934, when a new Thompson sold for $200 in the Sear's catalog, but today, it's pocket change.

Your job must make a lot of money because I certainly don't look at $200 bucks as pocket change. In fact, I don't think I've ever had $200 in my pocket, let alone as change.

Actually, I haven't had a real job since I graduated, which is why I'm going back to school again this fall.

But I meant in terms of gun costs. Most guns nowadays cost WAY more than $200, handguns and long guns. And "pocket change" is a bit of hyperbole. Don't take it so literally.

I really wish that they would repeal that stupid Hughes Amendment only 2 people since 1934 have been murdered with legally owned machine guns and one of the murderers was a police officer killing a police informant with a MAC-11.

Would the ability for civilians to gut full auto guns really benefit us more than when we could only get semi auto?

I dunno about you but I wouldn't mind having a full-auto.
I'm sure there is no need to go over the tactical advantages of fully-automatic fire.

Fair enough, I just don't take $200 as being a small sum of money.

Well, my civilian employer laid me off, so i havent worked there since January. Now Im making bank though. Government quarters. Government Food. Active duty pay. Its sweet:)
