I recall talking to a guy who had several pictures on his website shooting automatic weapons, only there were no pictures of the owner because, as he said: "Not everything is legal in Amerika". _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 7:14 pm cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 If you give the goverment enough money they will give you a permit. My Dad had one, but never acquired a full auto piece.   Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 8:54 pm Bhargav Veteran Member Joined: 23 Aug 2007 Posts: 213 Location: WA, USA broommaster2000 wrote: By the way, are automatic weapons really legal in the US, or is there a special permit needed?

I think they are legal, in the state of Nevada you can own automatic assualt rifles like AK-47.   Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 11:47 pm thepaladin Senior Member Joined: 12 Dec 2007 Posts: 930 Location: TN USA To have a "full auto gun" you need a liscence, they aren't legal without a specific liscence anywhere. They are considered "machine guns". Semi-auto guns are still legal, so far. _________________ "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

I have also seen a machine gun being used by a "gangbanger" who did not even have a permit to purchase any type of gun! The laws we have in the USA have nothing to do with the use of guns. Black market guns (fully auto or LARS Rockets) can be purchased in any large metropolitan area if you have the money, the connections, and a disregard for the law. It has been proven that here in Florida where a concealed carry permit is quite easy to get (pass a test) that CCP owners commit almost no crime at all where as the general public commits the other 99% of that 99% more than 80% of the crime is committed with illegaly obtained guns. Unfortunately it can be traced to a minority but that info can not be used. My whole point is you can not legislate safety when you allow criminals "to get away with murder" like we in our new progressive, liberal, take a murderer home for dinner society!   Posted: Sat Nov 08, 2008 10:12 am cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 At least the muderer in the whitehouse is almost gone.   Posted: Sat Nov 08, 2008 10:54 am billandbeaufort Senior Member Joined: 01 Apr 2008 Posts: 563 Location: Florida cw wrote: At least the muderer in the whitehouse is almost gone. Oh give it a rest! George W. Bush has not murdered anyone! Jeeesh Eric said no name calling but you insist on calling "Our" president names!   Posted: Sat Nov 08, 2008 5:26 pm cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 He did not directly murder anyone (that we know of), but did it like charles manson. He ordered people, not in the know (to put it least offensively) to do it for him. I don't blame them though, as they are pretty much blind as far as the truth goes. As far as the name calling. I think that it is all right to call public officials, celeberties and such others in the public eye, names. I mean this is still America (you know, the whole free speech and all that) and they are putting themselves up there in the open.

I mean after the US Airforce flew those planes into the world trade center. What happened after that?   Posted: Sat Nov 08, 2008 11:08 pm acousticmood Member Joined: 30 Aug 2008 Posts: 29 cw wrote: As far as the name calling.

So is it o.k. to call an innocent man with a cowboy hat and a cigarrette and "ignorant redneck" just before you accost him?

Dummy Racer, I think that when cw refers to "free speach" he means "free from thought"   Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 7:39 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I'm more a character for a free peach. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 8:40 am cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 What is speach?   Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 11:37 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I didn't make a typo.
