Re: [MBZ] Facts (Randy Bennell)
You are correct. The sale of all new full automatic weapons is forbidden to private ownership since the 1986 law took effect. Only those owned prior to that date are permitted to be owned. The resultant effect has been a huge escalation in value for those guns. The $1,000 dollar full automatic cheaply made AK 47 now sells for $12,000 and up, plus fees for license. Production and sale of full auto continues to the military and select police units. Not private citizens. The "mini guns" you see on TV may be "made for hollywood props" ? I have contact with a manufacturer of the mini gun used by the military, and I can tell you, it is tightly and securely controlled.. every part is accounted for under DOD contract. Federal inspectors are on site full time. Interesting fact: If Chicago, Detroit, and NYC firearm murder statistics were removed from the calculations, USA would rate second from the bottom in worldwide number of firearm deaths.. I take note that those three cities have the most draconian gun laws against private ownership in the whole United States.. The conclusion can be made that murderers prefer unarmed victims..

Re: [MBZ] Facts (Randy Bennell)
You still need a gun that was originally licensed before the 1986 ban on full autos. I do wonder about the mini-guns I see on TV, must be some special licensing law there... -Curt From: Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes To: 'Addison Thompson' ; 'Mercedes Discussion List' Sent: Tuesday, March 3, 2015 2:12 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Facts (Randy Bennell) Many states allow full auto if you have the proper (and expensive) licensing!

Randy, Automatic weapons have been illegal in the US since the 1930s. You probably mean "semi-automatic" weapons which pretty much includes most modern rifles and pistols designs of the past century.
