As some of you know, I am new to guns. I asked about good guns, and many people offered great advice. In the past week, I have been searching the web reading everything about guns I can find.
But here is a question I can't find an answer to. One website outside the USA offers to sell parts to make many popular guns go from semi to fully automatic. I'm thinking this must be illegal. If automatic guns are illegal, then it must be illegal to own the part which can be swaped out? Or is the part legal since it is not in the gun?
And why did the USA outlaw automatic guns? Some websites claim to have pre-ban guns. I am not sure exactly what that means, but they seem to think it is legal to sell those guns.
If older automatic guns are legal, how can a pre-ban be determined from a newer one. Why let only some members own pre-ban and not allow newer gun enthusiasts the chance to own the same guns?
Or am I wrong and all automatic guns are illegal no matter what year they were produced?
