There's 240,000 fully automatic machine guns registered in private hands in the U.S. Expensive, but not difficult to obtain.
FBI Background check & $200 +weapon price. Anyone that can pass the NICS, required for obtaining any firarm from an FFL, can most likely pass the FBI version for a full auto.
With 240,000 available and "guns being the problem" you'ld think bullets would be spraying everywhere. But that argument is as old as Diane Feinstein's underwear drawer & and as laughable as the contents.

Hmmm - person with documented mental illness in possession of a gun - where have we heard that before. {nm} Feb 17, 23:54

Endless array of mass shootings in the USA with automatic weapons. Pay attention. {nm} Feb 18, 12:14
They're not "automatic". If you're going to spew your "righteousness", get it right. Else you just look stupid. {nm} Feb 18, 17:40
Pay attention. Those mass shootings weapons were mostly semi-automatic or fully automatic weapons. Feb 18, 20:27
I'm guessing it's pretty rare, since fully automatic weapons are so tightly regulated. {nm} Feb 19, 07:05
There's 240,000 fully automatic machine guns registered in private hands in the U.S. Expensive, but not difficult to obtain. Feb 19, 13:24
So you obviously agree that making guns slightly harder to get hold of = fewer shootings. That's great! {nm} Feb 19, 13:33
No, I do not agree with you. And it's clear that your argument using machine guns is so utterly baseless it's ludicrous. {nm} Feb 19, 15:12
Yet, making a semi-auto weapon full auto is trivial for anyone that can use a power tool & the Internet. Feb 19, 16:01
That completely avoids my simple question. Feb 19, 19:55
And you're avoiding the fact that they were rarely used even before the regulations were tightened in the 1980's. Feb 19, 22:10
I'm not trying to get you to agree with me - I just want you to understand how bad your argument is. Feb 20, 06:43
I should clarify a few things here... Feb 20, 12:30
Mass shootings in the US typically happen in "gun-free zones". Feb 19, 14:30
Mass shootings are a far bigger problem in the United States than other countries. Why do you think this is so? Feb 19, 15:54
There are a few reasons, most of which are controversial and I don't want to go into at this point in time. Feb 19, 16:03
You can email me if you want to keep it off the boards - but if not, have you been to America? Feb 19, 20:34
Try comparing countries of similar populations and population densities. {nm} Feb 19, 16:07
As John McClane is fond of saying, 'If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem'. {nm} Feb 18, 12:21
Hmmm. Funny you'd say that... {nm} Feb 19, 09:15
Life is precious and irreplaceable however, people are not {nm} Feb 19, 00:15
