My mantra on this for some time has been to bring ALL high capacity semi-automatic weapons under the National Firearms Act of 1934, either as "any other weapons" or as a new category of "military technology weapons", and I say that as someone who has a reference gun collection for my military history references. When these are brought under federal regulation, all of them will be registered and the owners will have to undergo the NFA background check, not the telephone background check they do now. This will kill ownership for many of the "free-dumb" types because they will not submit to gubmint regulation, where upon if they get caught with an unregistered NFA semi-auto weapon, they get red-flagged and cannot legally buy a gun again. The gun community is actually shrinking - while there are more and more guns, they are owned by fewer people. with some owning dozens without being considered 'collectors'. When machine guns were controlled by the NFA, they disappeared from crime syndicate arsenals - to my knowledge, no legally owned and registered machine gun has been used in a crime since the 1930s; the mob did not want to deal with the ATF and the FBI..... Now, we just need the political leadership to pass such a law.....
