New york hunter you are right. Only one of 4. I just got done talking to an FFL dealer that i am transfering a gun to about this and he is a Class3 dealer. He is under the impression that all of this started back in the 20's and 30's with all of the highway robbery and bank robbery in Kansas. We were one of the first to ban machine guns because of the crime wave back then. I dont see it changing anytime soon or ever either.

Gun ownership is something that is permitted and by the constitution should not be restricted such as driving a vehicle which is merely a luxury and not a right afforded to Americans. It is something that is It isn't exactly the same as a 200mph motorcycle as there is no legality to driving one that fast in the united states at all for private citizens (other than the select few moto racers out there) To each his own.
