The real reason is the Gov doesn't want the people to be able to fight back effectively.

Just curious Subman1 were you ever in the military?
If you knew anything about the law you would know if you get caught doing that you will go to prison. Go ahead and empty a magazine from a full auto weapon that can't be full auto. You're doing time even if it was justified.
The government isn't worried about you fighting back. You really think you are going to stop a lowly infantry squad rolling into your house? What about a Bradley with its 25MM cannon? Nope, if they want you they will get you, full auto or not.
I never even used burst in the military. Full auto and burst was just for fun to play around with, don't use it. Semi auto is all you need, anything else won't hit jack. Full auto is for the movies. Taking it off semi auto is asking for a jam.
Joe six pack does NOT need an armory filled with assault weapons. Get real. |
This is a good compressed explanation of Class III weapons and NFA weapons in general.

Yes Machine Guns are legal and yes we can own them. However the majority of machineguns are collectibles and do nothing but sit in a safe and look pretty on a wall. Sound supressors are grteat and wonderful tools for reducing noise pollution and preserving your hearing. In Europe it is easier to get a sound supressor than it is to get a firearm.
Also, by definition an "Assault Rifle" (any object can be used for assault) must be an intermediate caliber between that of a pistol and battle-rifle (between .380 ACP and 8mm) and the weapon in question must be capable of slective fire between semi-auto and fully-automatic fire.
Regardless of your opinion, it is legal and moreover a birthright of the responsible law-abiding U.S. citizen to own, posess, and enjoy these firearms in a safe and responsible manner.
Think on this for a minute:
If the government doesn't plan on doing anything bad to us citizens, why are governmnet agencies or special-interest groups so intent on disarming the populace?
