What do you think I have been arguing all this time anyway?!? I support keeping the law as it is because "automatic assault weapons" have been illegal since 1982.
Machineguns are used in many crimes illegally, and if they were to become legal, then I would suspect that more people would get a hold of them. The price would go down for them, so more of them would be bought. I don't believe citizens don't use machineguns anyway to defend themselves, so whats the use of making them legal?
