    Uh, it’s actually very hard to get a hold of a machine gun, the grandfathered legal ones cost like $100k.

    Is that the America we want?

    Where only upper middle class have the right to Ma Deuce?

      An AR-15 with a bump stock meets all the technical requirements of a machine gun.

        A bump stock arguably makes it full auto, but it doesn’t make it a machinegun.

        Arguably the reason this thread is confused is that the word ‘machine gun’ doesn’t refer so much to physical characteristics, but more to a usage: they’re meant for sustained covering fire rather than short bursts.
