When you say "automatic weapon" are you referring to an actual NFA registered "Machine gun", or a semi-automatic weapon, ie. one trigger pull, one shot?



I look at all of this from the perspective of "what have I done that would make the state tell me I can't have one of these", whether it is a firearm, motorcycle, automobile, etc. I am a law abiding citizen. I am a responsible gun owner. If I want to own a rifle to take to a range to shoot, whether it be a Ruger 77/22, Barrett M82A1, or an NFA registered, lawfully owned M16, what have I done that would preclude the lawful use of said firearm.

In all reality, I don't see any difference between being told what guns I can or cannot have and what size engine I can have in my car or motorcycle. I haven't done anything wrong.
