The National Firearms Act defines "machine gun" as "any weapon which shoots, is designed to
shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual
reloading, by a single function of the trigger." 26 U.S.C. 5845(b)

+1. This is an attempt to get the low-infos on board to ban a gun that they know nothing about so the gun-grabbers can later make the argument that all semis are actually just like the banned AK and should be banned as well.

OK, so explain how a handgun could do as much damage as an assault rifle in the same amount of time?

Jesus Christ. NOTICE ALL DCUM PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GUNS. PLEASE READ A WIKI PAGE ABOUT HOW GUNS WORK.

This has been explained numerous times on several threads here. There is no difference between semi handguns and semi long guns. The AK looks like a machine gun, but it's actually not. Large capacity magazines can be bought for either. Some states restrict the number of rounds in a magazine. Regardless of this, empty magazines can be quickly swapped out with new, full ones, with a little practice. A 9mm Beretta handgun can accept a 33 round magazine and then re-loaded an unlimited amount of times. Also it would probably be more convenient for a shooter to have two semi handguns rather than a bulky AK. Easier to shoot someone a t short range with a handgun also. (This is why cops carry handguns and not AKs).

We're saying we want all semi's gone. Single use handguns only.

A pressure cooker can also kill a large number in a very short time. The Boston bombers used it. We need to ban that too.

Wrong! An AR-15 does NOT shoot, nor can it shoot, automatically more than one shot . . . by a single function of the trigger. This excerpt applies to automatic weapons, not the AR-15. Sorry.

You don't.

You just want it.

I want an AR-15.

That does not describe an AR-15.

You don't. You want it. Other people want AR-15s. It's called freedom.

In that case, shouldn't they also be able to buy tanks, rocket launchers, chemical and nuclear weapons?

Automatic weapons are illegal.

Technically that's true. But semi-automatics seem to be lethal enough in the hands of a maniac. So the Technicality is irrelevant.

Why do you need anything automatic about it? WTF about "not a full auto".

And yet I can't buy a missile launcher or machine gun for use in my own backyard. Limits DO exist. This should be the new limit.
