You should see the weapons I have and my brother. Where I live in Texas the laws are more reasonable. When my brother moved to california he had to leave several behind, not to mention in california now there is a 5 cent bullet tax on every round sold there now. I obtained his full auto sks off him.
The sks isn't suppose to be auto, and when we bought it the guy said it was semi. It got us kicked off the range the first time we shot it. ****ing 6 rounds went off and we just stood there in awww. So we let rip another 15. We went through 4-5 mags before they stopped us. Not to mention in california now there is a 5 cent bullet tax on every round sold there now.
You can buy full autos to I believe. Generally the license is available to law enforcement, and individuals who get the certifacation. Pretty much anyone can get the conversion kits, but in my opinion...they generally suck.
What troubles me though is the looneys that get ahold of these weapons. Theres a sniper currently in the states whos killed 5 people already. No real concrete leads because of the distance hes killing people from and the randomness of it all. FBI are trying to profile him now.
People owning guns doesn't bother me. Its the crazy ****ers that own them.
