It's not just Federal Judges, folks. While shooting trap Thursday, the construction company next to us had a 9mm subgun open up on their range, (nice perk for working there, eh?) and the first thing out of several mouths was "Isn't that illegal?!!!" These are guys that shoot every week, some shoot rifle and pistol, too. Our club bans full-autos, which is their right, but I calmly pointed out that no, it is not illegal for (In this case a trust) private citizens, or a trust, to own full auto weapons in Wisconsin. I explained the process, and the fact that thanks to the ATF, that Ingram (I am about 99% sure that's what it was) costs about $4000 and is the cheapest full-auto available. Then they let a mag rip from a .308 in full auto. (Probably an H-K or clone), and told them that gun (well sear kit) was probably more like $15,000. Makes those $6000 Kx6's and Ljutics seem cheap.
I then explained to the "Well, they should be illegal" group that the anti's will be coming for their single-shot Trap guns just as surely as they'd like to come pick up all the full-autos and other such toys, and quoting Franklin said "We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." .
