- California authorities found a man illegally owning 248 guns and 1 million rounds of ammo.
- The state attorney general said he also had 3,000 magazines and several grenades in his home.
- The guns included 11 machine guns, 133 handguns, and 60 assault rifles, authorities said.
It really isn’t difficult to buy illegal weapons.
Or make a legal weapon an illegal machine gun.
Machine guns aren’t illegal if you have a stamp.
Are you aware of what is involved in getting that stamp? The only people who bother are collectors.
You think this guy wasn’t a collector??? Bahahaha
He’s a stamp collector?
Yes u pay a fee and then wait like 3 years. What’s your point. There’s always a process no matter what firearm u buy from an FFL. One of my best friends is an FFL
Well shit, I’ve got lots of stamps
FTFY
No, you didn’t. Machine guns aren’t legal to own unless you have a very expensive permit which basically grants the ATF an unlimited warrant to perform a search for it.
Also, this article is about the US, so making that distinction isn’t necessary.
Replacing one or two parts to make a weapon automatic is easy. The article doesn’t clarify what a “machine gun” is or what make or model. Buy a few AR15s, replace the parts. Machine gun. And illegal. Fitting the article’s definition.
Or make them.
There are machine guns registered with the ATF, serial number and all, that are literally just pieces of wire or string.

Maybe it should be.
Better shut down the borders, then.
I was thinking more like we prevent kids from having recess, so their brains don’t develop and they’re easier to control.
That might help reduce the flow of American guns from coming into Canada.
Most of the weapons crossing the US/Mexico boarder are going southbound.
Cartels smuggle a fuck ton of weapons, especially automatics, into the US.
They don’t really have to smuggle them southbound because the US straight up gives them guns to destabilize countries we have financial interests in.
