I don't have a problem with you owning a transferable machine gun and if I could justify the money I would own one myself. The problem I have is with thugs running around the streets with them such as was the case during Prohibition, and was the reason for restricting them in the first place. The ban in 86 further restricted them and its now almost unheard of for a registered machine gun to be used in a crime, and that is a good thing. I don't want to go back to the 20's when people could buy a thompson and explosives out of the sears catalog, just the same as I'm glad they can't dump DDT in the river anymore. We can all wish we lived in a utopia where everybody can do what they want, but the gangsters taught us full auto weapons were not a good idea for the general public, Timothy McVeigh taught us we can't let people buy truckloads of ammonium nitrate for no reason, and we need speed limits and laws against drunk driving because people will kill themselves and your family. Like it or not thats the way it works. I don't want you to give up any of your guns. Not a single one. I won't give up mine either.
