LMAO! You think the American gov is fully functioning? Then I guess you havent seen our debt and invasion/war rate lately Boris

You are showing a common mis-perception and lack of understanding about basic firearms. 1. automatic firearms are already illegal here and have been for many years. Only the military and law enforcement are allowed fully automatic weapons or machine guns. A fully automatic weapon discharges multiple projectiles with one pull of the trigger. The rifles that average citizens can purchase and possess are semi-automatic (yes, even the civilian AK-47) and can only discharge one projectile for each pull of the trigger. The same capability by the way, that the "six-shooter revolver" that you okayed has! Referring to these guns as "assault rifles or assault weapons" is a mis-leading propaganda tactic used by the anti-gunners (all of whom think its okay for THEM to own such weapons or have armed security) so that mis-guided, un-informed and gullible people such as yourself will rally to their cause without actually understanding the actual issue.

Exactly how the Party members would see it back in the day.
