re: #193 Belafon

We managed to get rid of machine guns.

Rid? No, but we did heavily regulate and (for the time) heavily tax them. The National Firearms Act of 1934 required the registration of the weapon and payment of a $200 tax (~$4000 today) with only one amnesty in 1968. A similar amnesty and registration would be necessary, legally, in any attempt at restricting the AR/AK class of weapons beyond California levels.

But the reality is that any one with the money can own a machine gun. Follow the rules & have fun. We need to make that ethic apply to AR/AK weapons as well.
