Are all automatic rifles banned in the US?

no. some states aloow them. you have to go through lots of hoops to get the right licenses and permits. the real problem is how to afford them. most full auto guns cost as much as a car. some as much as a house.... and talk about ammo usage. hehehehe

 

It's an FBI background check and finger printing as well as a specific type of permit as well as the state you live in allowing for them first. Then you have to pay a fee for the tax stamp to own it like $200 bucks. Then you can buy an automatic weapon. And get ready trying to find one because its not like they make them available like semi autos. They have a registry for them and they are quite expensive.

Thirty nine states currently allow private ownership of Fully Automatic Firearms.

There are approximately 200,000 listed fully automatic weapons available for ownership today.

Thirty two states currently allow ownership of sound suppression systems.

If Obama had his way NONE of us would be allowed any weapon of any type, irregardless of what he says to the public.

We would all be his subjects. Bet on it!

Pink = Not an assault rifle




Black = assault rife



Hehe

 

I don't think so. You may have gone through a background check and had finger prints taken, but for CCW it's not federal , it's usually at the state level. I may be wrong...

 

The definition of an assault rifle is "any rifle capable of select fire between semi automatic and full auto or burst fire."
The popular definition used today by the media, politician and other assorted idiots is; "that scary looking rifle I see in all those movies."

 

Question was are they illegal, answer is, better check your daily newspaper cause even if they are today, they likely wont be tomorrow! I live in New York, I ought to Know! Doesnt effect me that much, Ive had plenty of auto fire fun from small to large caliber but that went along with Being Anti Armor Infantry, all I remember is the mess they are to clean up after smoking them.

It just seems crazy that our government would deny every American that does not serve in the military or even those of us that have been their hired guns the chance or right to own and fire these unless we are rich and certifiable. Thats a travesty in itself and would have every one of the signers of our Constitution spitting blood if they saw what these people have done to our BOR's!

I just decided I wont watch any more of the gun shop, dealer shows that sell these $20-$100K MG's to rich folk anymore. I just cant stomach the hypocrisy...

 

you can thank ronnie reagan for banning full auto new production. before 1986 it was only an extra 200$ for a full auto firearm. ronnie took a huge violent dhiarrea dump straight from his blackened soul on the constitution.

far as im concerned reagan was a worse president than obama simply because of his unconstitutional banning of firearms

if you havent figured it out i despise reagan

 

Many full auto weapons can be produced quite cheaply. These lower quality pieces have simpler trigger mechanisms. That's right. It requires a trick of engineering to make a gun semi instead of full auto. On the whole though, there is little difference in the production cost of full auto or semi auto guns. The issue in the States is supply.

The owning of full auto guns is completely legal if you pay a tax. But the manufacture is not. So the market supply of full auto guns is the same or smaller than it was in 1986. The demand is huge, the supply is small. Do the math.

 

The background check is similar. If you are a felon from Montana living in Arkansas applying for a permit that's how they know.
