      I am using the pro-gun community definition of the word “banned” that means “not actually banned, just regulated”.

      You can also buy hand grenades with the appropriate permits and background checks. You know, just like guns in almost every other country where the pro-gun community insists they’re “banned”.

        Why don’t you walk us through the process of legally acquiring a handgun in the U.K.?

          Why don’t you walk us through the process of legally acquiring a brand new, new full-auto rifle in America?

          You can’t? Oh shit, guns must be banned in America.

          The reality is that before you started your little pro-gun death cult, America routinely made risk vs reward judgements on firearms, no different than the UK did when they decided the murder weapon of choice for criminals and men who can’t control their emotions doesn’t have a place in modern society.

          Anyway, talk next time there’s horrific violence that makes international headlines. Do you think it’s going to be from America or the UK?

            Machine guns are legal in only 37 states. You can’t get a machine gun quickly or cheaply, but it isn’t difficult.

            How to Purchase a Machine Gun as an FFL:

            1. Get your FFL and become an SOT.
            2. Either make your machine gun or purchase a machine gun (depends on the type of FFL you get).
            3. If you made it, submit an ATF Form 2 after it is made (no pre-approval required!). If you bought it, you must have an ATF Form 3 approved first (it should take less than 6 weeks and, you don’t have to pay a transfer tax)

            I don’t know what you’re talking about.
