Others say, if you give in here, then you have opened up the door to making other thing illegal. That the 2nd amendment is about the ternary of the government and if it helps you defend yourself, then they should be available.
What is your opinion?
Personally, I don't own one, nor do I want one. I have tried one, and found after the first round none were on paper after about a dozen. I have zero need for full auto. I can only see a minor need in full combat. On a .308 platform the weapon becomes uncontrollable. I think they will be impossible to ban. To easy yo make such a device. Ammunition is to expensive for me to want full auto (although I do recommend trying the full auto experience in Vegas sometime with a .30 caliber MG). Now on to the question. I feel why bother. Someone as smart as the Vegas shooter could have modified a standard AR15 to full auto. I would wager any gun smith could perform this surgery as well. Many parts on AR15's are already military grade for full auto. So I think illegal full auto is not that hard to come by if you really want it, and are willing to break laws to do it (I'm not). But I do agree this is a slippery slope.
