hahaha I really don't care if full auto firearms ever get legalized again for the general public, but as a matter of constitutional validity - yes they should.

but seriously, full autos have no use - ammo prices are way too high here in the States for any prohibition-era shooting.

I dunno how far it will get but I'm all for it.

They're slowly eroding away our rights here and it won't stop with automatics if we let them.

Yeah Im still kinda surprised that got that far.. I mean shouldnt a well armed multimedia have weapons such as these ? And considering the founding fathers were all for revolution if government got out of hand ... Still unsure how they swung it.
Best of luck to all you guys with this mate.

It would cost about $10,000 for a full auto AR15, a semi auto cost about $800 to $1,500 US.

If you would like to browse some ads, gun broker here has some, they do have some old WW2 stuff too.

$5000 - $8000 for a semi auto AR here ... IF you are lucky enough to fall into a very small group of people who can own them.

LOL they would cost a few $$ and to me there more a fire suppression tool, than a "useful" tool to one man ... If that makes sense ? Could be wrong too.

and an affirmation of the belief that whatever the weapon, whatever the rate of fire, guns are neither good nor bad, but tools that can be used for good or bad regardless of how they operate.

I'd prefer if my state allowed SBRs and suppressors. They are legal elsewhere with the proper paperwork and fee's. But not in NY.

That's what I'm talking about by eroding the rest of our rights.

The next state ban them citing NY as an example, then the next one, then the next one.

Then one state takes away 1 more right. That's used as an example for the next state... And on and on it goes until there is nothing left.

You can't throw a stone in NY without hitting some knuckledragger saying we should mimic Australia's gun laws even here in NY. They think we here in NY are too free.

I'm gonna look for it. Would be great to counter their nonsense with info from someone that actually knows the politics, culture and has access to real stats as opposed to the white washed crap that makes its way here.
