Here is
the simplest summary I could find of the legal restrictions the federal government imposes on gun sales. State restrictions may be more strict.
I'm not sure how I feel about people running around with submachine guns. Actually, I am sure. It scares and bothers me.
But I'm not sure what we should do with our gun laws. Given the fact that tons of these weapons are already in the possessions of the military, the police, various militia and survival groups, gangs, mobs and taxi drivers, how can I get behind a law that will prevent me from buying one? I feel like I'm the only one left who doesn't already have their assault rifle, so what good would that law do?
It may be that manufacturing and
selling guns is not a good thing.
