When you're sitting in court for an NFA violation, they are going to get very technical about what a machine gun is and how it operates.

That's why it is important to follow the mechanics of an item and not how it looks or feels to someone, anyone. Doing that is very arbitrary and is only relevant to the person looking or feeing.

But any of this is not the way to address the issue of controlling crime.

To control crime you control criminals.

If controlling guns is your goal, then you control guns.

Seems like a fairly simple concept to me.

If I learned anything in my job, it was that nothing happens spontaneously or in a vacuum. Somebody ALWAYS knows about anything BEFORE it happens.
