Saw on the internet where people are lined up to register their guns and magazines in Connecticut. Reckon how long it will be now before they are lining back up to hand them in?

I have to register my cars every year. Pretty sure cars kill more people than guns. Nobody is trying to take my cars away. I think the gun confiscation fears are way overblown. Never gonna happen.
The ownership of full auto machine guns is still legal if owned before April 4, 2013. Doesn't sound that restrictive.

I had to register mine when I bought them you never know what uncle sam is going to do. I dont think anyone should own a full auto machine gun in this country thats just my opinion though. I never had much use for one myself.

Those are not fully auto guns that they are registering first off. Secondly your car is not to protect you it is for transportation.

I would imagine that there were people in Germany in the 1930's and early 1940's that thought that the thought of guns being taken up was way overblown as well.

Any time a communist regime prepares to take over a country the first thing that happens is to register and then collect guns. History bears this out.

Selective fire means that a machine gun can fire semi or fully automatically. Machine guns that can only fire fully automatically are legal in Connecticut if they were possessed prior to April 4, 2013 and registered on or before January 1, 2014.

Sounds like a machine gun to me

I don't get your point about the car vs gun. I own them... they're mine... I have to register them. I'm in favor of registration. There are no illegally made guns. They all come from legitimate companies who pay taxes and keep records. If records were kept on down the line guns would be a lot easier to trace and account for. It wouldn't affect honest people at all.
I'm not getting the Nazi reference either. Most German men and a lot of German women were given (some by force) guns in the 1940's. Nice guns.
If you're saying a communist regime is getting ready to take over the US then I'm going to have to bow out of this conversation. That's not even in the realm of possibility. That would be like talking about the possibility of space aliens taking over the planet. It's just not something I can take seriously.

No, that doesn't sound very restrictive at all. By the way, who told you that? It's wrong. From GunCite - Gun Control: Machine Guns
*************************************
A fully automatic weapon (a machine gun) is one that fires a succession of bullets so long as the trigger is depressed or until the ammunition supply is exhausted. In addition, any weapon that shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot automatically, more than one shot at a time by a single trigger pull, is legally considered to be a machine gun.

Submachine guns are fully automatic weapons that fire a handgun cartridge and can be operated by one person. Sometimes they are referred to as machine pistols.

A machine gun can normally fire between 400 and 1,000 rounds (bullets) per minute, or between 7 and 17 rounds per second.

Federal Firearms Regulations

It has been unlawful since 1934 (The National Firearms Act) for civilians to own machine guns without special permission from the U.S. Treasury Department. Machine guns are subject to a $200 tax every time their ownership changes from one federally registered owner to another, and each new weapon is subject to a manufacturing tax when it is made, and it must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in its National Firearms Registry.

Never gonna happen, you say? It happened after hurricane Katrina, didn't you hear about that? Many of those folks were disarmed.

Apparently you did not hear about the 6 million or so people that they killed in Germany on the 1940's.

A lot fell on Russia as well same MO. Guns registered and collected in Cuba as well.

If you can't see how close we are to falling into communism you need to wake up and see what is happening around you. We are almost there.

Well I guess I am retardded. In a couple more years just remember I told you so. We are so close it is incredible. We are a mess up society. Socialism is already here within just a very short time. Communism will be close behind.
