O, fair warning. Don't be alarmed when you discover the "BOX OF HOLSTERS" you have somehow accumulated. Welcome to the club.........

John in Covina said:There are about 26 states where you may still own full auto suppressors and other "controlled" firearms which tends to totally amaze those from the non states. Something about a tax stamp and background checks by the Feds ATF.
Anyway, on numerous visits to Nevada which is a can own state one may visit a variety of guns stores with indoor ranges and learn of the pleasures of renting full auto guns as well as "silenced" guns. I really enjoyed shooting a Mac (10?) in 45 ACP with a great suppressor. It was awesome and being able to hear the brass hit the floor was both startling and amusing. I am drawn to H&K's MP5 which is a joy to shoot. One of these days I'd like to shoot the Rugar 10/22 they had which was full auto and supressed, I'd be tempted to sign my initials in the target with it. JE
The number of these legally in the hands of citizens is a pretty high number and i believe the record on muders with a legally held full auto in all the years since this set up is only one if I am not mistaken.

So it wasn't even a privately owned weapon. I will have to find a source for that though. But it makes sense. No one would spend that kind of money on the gun and paperwork to lose it for something stupid.

The bad guys still didn't buy them at that point, they typically stole their firepower from poorly guarded police and National Guard armories. Why spend hard-(not)earned money or steal one at a time from a gun store when you could get a truckload at once?

************Diamondback said:Yeah, but The Gun Store's prices are ridiculous. If you wanna try Title II, the places to do it are either Knob Creek, Albany Rifle & Pistol Club in Oregon, or if you have a Class 2 or 3 FFL/SOT-licensed manufacturer or dealer you know who might be willing to allow you to "assist" with a "test-firing" session...
