I would agree with that as it is extremely difficult to modify an AR-15. Split Infinity

I would have no issue of a person owning an Assault Rifle it it was IMPOSSIBLE to convert it to being able to fire on Full Auto. Split Infinity

In order to get the stamp a person must go through an in depth check. In some states it is relatively easy to purchase an AK and then modify it. The person who gets a stamp I have no issue with nor do I have issue with a person who gets this stamp owning an Automatic Weapon.
As I have said...the primary issue is a flood of Chinese Imported AK's. Split Infinity

Actually it's not. It would ruin the value of the gun and make you a criminal all at the same time. The AR-M16 was never really meant for full auto. It was a meant for burst.
The AK on the other hand is meant for sustained full auto.edit on 24-11-2012 by SubTruth because: (no reason given)edit on 24-11-2012 by SubTruth because: (no reason given)

Yes...I am aware of the barrel issues. Still this does not deter some. As I keep saying...it is the AK's that are the problem. It is the weapon of choice for Gang Warfare as well as Drug Lords. Coupled with armor piercing ammo this weapon is devastating to Law Enforcement. Split Infinity

Your average every day criminal will not own an Automatic AK...it is the GANGS and the DRUG CARTELS which are a Multi-Billion dollar Distribution and Sales Force in the United States so prevalent that they occupy every aspect of American Life.
It is your Local Dealer who has Money and is most likely to own such weapons. Split Infinity

I hate the idea of others trying to tell us what is best for us. A perfect example of this is making Laws such as forcing a KID to wear a HELMET just to ride a bike! This is just plain insanity!
If a parent wants their kid to wear a helmet...fine. But to make a LAW is too much. The same can be said for Seat Belts.
As far as Assault Rifles are concerned there is a problem that is specific to Chinese AK Imports. Something has to be done. I do not support a BAN on all forms of these Weapons but I would support a BAN on cheap Chinese Made AK's. Split Infinity

If we simply made Narcotics Legal and had them regulated...there would no longer be a Gang or Drug Cartel that needed these weapons to perpetrate crimes.
Our issues would resolve themselves overnight. Split Infinity

I know this is unrealistic. Still if it was Taxed and regulated as well as being safe with a long term program to help people KICK their habit...it might work as long as the end game was to get people off their drug of choice.
I would not place POT into this category as in Mass...it is basically Legal as it is not a Criminal Action to have less than 1 Ounce of Pot on ones person. They can only give you a $100 Ticket and even this is not done is it is not legal for Police to ask for your ID. Thus Cops do not bust people for having pot anymore. Split Infinity
