The Decades-Old Gun Ban That's Still On The Books
IIRC the 1986 ban had a sunset provision.
Yes, it did.
Do you have a point?
If you pass the background check, more stringent than most in use, jump through the hoops, pay the outrageous insurance fees, and don't strangle on the other red tape in place,
you TOO can be the proud owner of a machine gun
(made before 1986)
the point? you seemed confused about the ban being on the books. it technically is, but without force and effect.
why would a sane person not in the military want a machine gun? other than to make up for his ... shortcomings?
criminals, nutters and domestic abusers will be less likely to have guns. your inconvenience is really irrelevant. and until you go through what a new Yorker does, schlepping back and forth to one police plaza with his/her guns, I can't feel that bad for you.
as for insurance? cookie, I pay over $500 a month for auto insurance on two cars (with no points on either of our records). if you can injure someone, you should be responsible for compensating them.
