That is not a true statement !

There fore Law abiding citizens are the ONLY users of Legal machine guns.

What I read...some many years ago....was that it was PD issue.

Any arguement standing on "not in common use" for controlled or newly devised implements is a self-fulfilling arguement dependent only on itself.  Many things are not in common use....just fill in the blank.  The basis should have been militia or not militia....not the militia issue and the mg issue....the mg is a casualty of the decision towards the militia issue.
