but they are not. What ticks me off about FA weapons is that police can have them, but the public can't.( atleast new ones)
I really doubt if class 3 is ever going to go away. now the hughes amendment might go away, but I would not count on it.
You know, I agree in principle. My basic POV is that if the cops can own it, the average citizen who passes an instant background check should be able to own it as well. If the cops have semis, I'll accept semis. If they can have FA, I should be able to own one also. Still, theory aside, I really don't give a rat's ass about the issue. I can barely afford to feed my AR. If it were FA? I'd be on a street corner with a sign saying "Will work for .556".

Honestly, I think a 50 state, no local preemption CCW and a national Fl. style castle doctrine are the hoy grail. The rest can wait, we'll get around to it.
