What specific guns would you actually buy but for the Federal gaun laws or the laws in your jurisdiction?

The guns I do not have because of laws include:

Full auto UZI (NJ does not allow and Federal law makes them too expensive)

Short barreled shotgun, just for the fun of it (not allowed in New Jersey)

A nice revolver like a Colt Python or a S&W 27-2 (too much trouble to get another pistol in New Jersey

Adjustable stock on a semi-auto (not allowed in NJ)

I can't even own a newly-manufactured Auto-Ordnance semi-automatic Thompson replica. State law mandates that I would have to accept the über-gay 18" barrel. It seems that misguided politicians are threatened by law-abiding gun owners, but not by a 14 billion dollar national debt that has been increasing at a rate of 4.2 billion per day since 2007.

In TN there's not anything that I can think of that I'm denied by law except for new selective fire firearms, and I could have legal access to those if I wanted to go to the trouble to open a business dealing in them legally. The problem is that shift from individual to dealer takes me out of the personal ownership group that the question is directed.

So we're right back to wanting and not being able to have a post-86 machinegun as an individual being the only legal restriction on me (other than being too cheap).
 
I always wanted an original, unmessed with, Colt 'Monitor' in that lovely Colt Blue of the time.


Could have bought one once still in the brown Paper and Cosmoline, but, I was young and naive.

They are too expensive now for me to be able to do, even if I could find one.

The Law would just be a formality I would be glad to oblige, so, that is not the impediment.

So, for me, there is not anything I would like to own, which I am forbidden to own by Law, and, I am glad to observe and abide the Laws as required of me, so, alls well there.
 
What you want?

What I want but can't have:
Full Auto Thompson Submachine gun
M14
Sig 550/551
Galil 308
HK 417/416
HK MP5/MP40
 
In Texas I'm not much restricted except by price and paperwork.I've either got or could readily obtain all that I hanker after.
 
O boy...

An MP5SD with a Navy trigger group. An 870 12 gauge with the barrel length short enough to be just in front of the factory four-round tube. A 7.62x39mm Krinkov with a suppressor. And a Glock 18 with a suppressor. Those are home defense and truck duty.

A true SVD. An M60E4, probably with a PVS-17, DBAL infrared illuminator, and a Grip Pod. And a FN 17S/EGLM with a 3.5x ACOG, and a DBAL. Those are for perimeter security and overwatch. The same can would probably work for all of them, as well as the Krink. In this case, I am thinking Gemtech Quicksand for the multi-attachment capability.

And for when things got really hairy, a quad .50 on a half-track, a Carl Gustav recoilless rifle with some HEAT rounds, Claymores, and M67 fragmentation grenades...yes, grenades, lots of grenades :evil:

This is of course assuming I am a lot richer in a country that practices freedom rather than merely professing it :(
 
Can't have: AR-15, M&P-15, or anything with a pistol grip, compensator, folding or telescopic stock, magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds (but as far as I know/hope nobody enforces this), barrel shroud, bullpups, pretty much any semi-auto shotgun, a whole slew of "sniper" rifles.

Basically, about 75% of rifles on the civilian market are outlawed. Welcome to C(r)ook County. :(

If/when the Wilson v. Cook County case wins, an M&P-15 .22 will be my first order of business. :) Followed shortly by an AR purchase in .223/556
 
It is primal the happy switch that I would want, with no paper needed for a short barrel or silencer either.

I would like a happy switch on the guns I already own.

SCAR
Springfield M1A
SIG 556
Robinson XCR
Beretta CX4 Storm
HK MP5
Uzi and mini Uzi
Thompson
Glock 18
One belt fed would be nirvana.

But then we all must have a fantasy.

Go figure.

Thompson M1928A1. Many milsurp goodies not allowed importation from Russia (especially Win M1895). Norinco Woodsman clone.

I agree with HSO. Up here in Maine there are no restrictions other than the Federal ones that we all have to adhere to. I already own some SMG's so that is no big deal anymore either, they are more or less a bullet hose that is an expensive item to feed. All my friends love them however.:D It is a proven fact that you can't legislate stupidity.:banghead:
 
If we stick to man-portable firearms, any automatic weapon after 1986. The state has no restrictions. Within those limitations, I would like to have a H&K MP5 (and while I am dreaming anyway, might as well put a suppressor on it too), but the cost is too prohibitive.

I guess my wish list would be:

select fire (with 3 round burst) AR/M4 (new)

Sound suppressor(s) for same that would also work on my 10/22s

short barrel full auto 22lr (cheap shooting)
 
And just why does that do more for you than just a blast of buckshot, or one round of 223 sp, placed right where it needs to go?

Have you ever lit an entire pack of Black Cat firecrackers. It's a lot more exciting that lighting one at a time. Maybe not the best analogy, but I think it works. :)
 
When I was in the old 30th Infantry at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, we had all sorts of special details for the Artillery School. One was running the Infiltration Course, where troops crawl under live machinegun fire.

In those days, the M60 was not certified for overhead fire in training, so we had six M1917 machineguns. I've always lusted after an M1917 of my very own -- I'd keep it in my living room, where the coffee table is now.
 
A full auto .22 would be nice to play with. But in NY you can't even own a deactivated welded-up full auto.
