You're stating facts, but you're confusing the issue beyond belief. Shadow was confused about "rapid fire". Instead of clarifying, your tangent has made things confusing enough that even I, someone who fired their first gun over 30 years ago, have no idea what you're trying to prove about machine guns.

There is nothing confusing about it. Machine-guns are legal.

My point about buying an auto, for the record, is because I live in one of the states where it is NOT legal. You're spoiled by NH, I'm guessing.

I'm from Massachusetts

And in states where class 3 weapons are legal to own, ownership is NOT granted through local authorities like a firearm permit. You may feel you said it already, but again I'm on your side and I sure didn't catch it.

All I did was say they are legal.

No offense man, but you make our side of the issue look a little scary when you emphasize the facts that get blown out of proportion by the anti-gun groups.

I don't care if facts are scary or not; just that they are facts.

The reason it is important to state the facts as they are is because gun-control advocates often say things like 'well a civilians can't own artillery so why should they own a ____', or 'a civilian can't own a machine-gun so why should they own a ____', etc. (it's been said in this thread).

It's unimportant whether this frightens them or not; they have already made up their mind. I just want them to admit what it actually is because they seem to sugar-coat the fact that they do in fact want to ban the majority of firearms.

This is the same reason I posted the rapid-fire videos; some will say 'okay than we need to ban ___ and ___' until all we have is single shot Derringers we can't take out of our house; which they will still claim is 'supporting the 2nd amendment'.

I've already admitted it is self-defeating in a way but it is still important.

They DO NOT 'support the 2nd amendment' (as they often like to say they do), they support the idea that Americans should be able to have some sort of gun. There is a huge difference.
