[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 3107261, member: 50088"] It's really remarkable how clueless these people are. Hillary's first response is to call out the NRA while at the same time saying not to get political (LOL!). So we need to pass a law banning fully automatic weapons? It's already effectively illegal to own them. "The National Firearms Act of 1934, the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the Hughes Amendment in 1986 have all placed limits on how automatic guns can be bought and sold, but did not make it illegal to possess them entirely. Purchasing one requires submitting fingerprints and photographs to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, going through an FBI criminal background check, and paying a $200 tax, among other requirements. Only automatic weapons manufactured and registered with the federal government before 1986 can be bought, owned and sold." Guaranteed this guy somehow acquired these guns illegally. A private citizen can't buy an automatic gun made after 1986. Something tells me all of his guns weren't made before 1986 and that he got a whole arsenal going through an FBI check. Yet there's this immediate call for "gun control" like any conceivable law would prevent this. [/QUOTE]
