Yes. I think they should be allowed to own them; carefully registered and ballistics checked. I do not think that the owner of such a gun should be allowed to sell it on the secondary market. If the gun is used in a violent crime and someone is shot with it, then I think the owner of the gun should be held civilly and criminally responsible.
Being able to sell these guns at gun shows in states where licensing is not required should be outlawed by Federal law. After all is said and done, if these guns fall into the wrong hands, they are very dangerous...to other citizens and to law enforcement.
I'd also add that the definition of a "dangerous" automatic weapon probably needs to be tightened.
I just wanted to inquire about your part about the owner being responsible. What if the gun was stolen?
