[QUOTE="tranham, post: 58551"] I feel there is a lack of knowledge here. For the record, military full auto firearms and Destructive Devices are fully legal to own in most states. DD's are any firearm above .50 cal including bombs of any size, rocket launchers, cannons, mortars, etc. In fact you can build a DD yourself by filing a ATFE form 1 plus send the $200 tax to the government and have a background check done. Over 6 million machine guns and DD's are registered in the USA. The law has been on the books since 1934 (Volkmer Act). In that time frame not one of these registered guns has been used in a crime by the owner. Now why are people scared of these guns which have a perfect track record? Even the illegal machine guns and DDs are used in the smallest % of crimes. Much smaller than hunting rifles/ shotguns. So why do people think these guns should not be owned by law abiding citizens? Any hunting rifle cartridge will rip through body armor. Most hunting rifles are just sniper rifles. I just don't see why we should get rid of the guns that don't kill people in the USA and keep the ones that do. On the issue of UPS and guns....Why does UPS not allow guns to be shipped anymore? WE are losing a ton of money on this. And those people who ship guns, ship lots of other stuff who won't now. Fed-Ex is jumping for joy on this, they don't have these restrictions.
