Ban Semi-automatic Weapons...

I remember when I lived in Phoenix in 1985 I used to go to the desert shooting. I had a 32 semi then. There were these signs that said, don't shoot the signs. Well, other than, red flag before bull, I am unable to elucidate any further.

Yes, That used to be a problem. But it's been quite some time since I've seen a highway sign with a bullet hole in it. Maybe we're more grownup now? ...Jim Thompson

Nah, the signs started shooting back...sure, that was it...

Not quite true. My BIL had a Thompson sub machine gun. And the gun range near by in PA. also have some sub machine guns There is a license fee however . I think it is $500 a year. Dan

At one time Texas solved that problem by attaching small alumimum sheets attached to the sign. Giving the public some thing to shoot at which was not expensive to replace. |

I stand corrected. I had forgotten that my uncle, Darl Godwin, he of

20 years Navy, 20 years Army, then Sheriff of Killeen, Texas, had a Thompson submachine gun.

He let me fire it when I was perhaps 12 years old. It spun me around, causing my uncle to have to run a circle to escape it. He thought it funny. Scared the crap out of me :-(

Like this?

"civilians" can buy a full auto gun, you have to find a gun that was legall y registered before 1986 so it transferable, then get it transferred with N FA which takes about a year and $500. I believe less than 200000 such guns ever existed so you are looking at tens of thousands $ for transferable mac hine a gun

registered dealers and manufactures can have "samples" of full auto guns th at is what the gun ranges do

it is semiautomatic but not fully automatic or burst

and you can get a select fire AR-15 but it'll be +30 years old, cost

+$15000 and it'll take a year for NFA to approve that you can get it

Yep ;-) Except it wasn't funny at the time. ...Jim Thompson

Isn't that what I said?

Some revolvers are, some aren't. Double-action revolvers will fire at each (*very* hard) trigger pull. Single-action revolvers require the hammer to be cocked before each trigger pull.

Of course. That's been known for decades.

No, not quite. It is possible to get a license for pre-1968 fully-automatic weapons. It costs something like $750 for the license, you're put through *very* rigorous background checks, and you have to demonstrate that you're in possession of the weapon and allow its storage to be inspected at any time by BATF or even your sheriff's office. There are often demonstrations, where you can pay to shoot one. It ain't cheap (they go through a lot of ammo).

there is the odd exception :)

I guess there is a platypus in every group. ;-)

Always an exception to the rule. Some military guns can be set to fire three shots for every pull of the trigger.

But that would make it an "automatic" rifle. Or, more precisely, "selective fire".

That would be the renewal, IIRC the original application is very expensive.

using my uncle to have to run a circle to escape it. "

I recall the news of someone doing that and the kid could not handle it and the weapon went up and shot the guy who gave the kid it to shoot.

He got a Darwin award with that.

That is another thing about the uselessness of a full auto in most situatio ns, because of the recoil it is very hard to aim with any degree of accurac y. In war where there is a whole group of enemy soldiers in front of you, y es. But anywhere else a semi auto would be better.

hree shots for every pull of the trigger. "

Something else, someone told me that it can be auto if it has no trigger. I n other words, you put the magazine in and once you chamber it all the roun ds are fired until they are gone.

I heard this, it may be wrong, it may have changed, but still such a weapon is less useful than a semi auto.

How hard is it to just pull the trigger again ? Geez, people are so lazy. T hat's why there is so much obesity. People don't even play cards much anymo re, it is mostly on the computer. Friggin snowflakes would probably get car pal tunnel correctly shuffling a deck of card, especially a double pinochle deck. And by correctly shuffling I mean that after you flap the two sides together you bend the cards the other way and let them slide into alignment , NOT just push them in or bang them on the table. That wrecks the edges of the cards and eventually shuffling becomes a PITA. Most people don't even know how to do that, or tie their shoes.

Seriously, there is a TED talks on that and it is right. Look it up, most o f us actually do it wrong. I didn't believe it at first but it is true.

Enough hijack...
