"Every regulation is a step toward disarmament," is the basic lie that makes sensible regulations impossible. Fully automatic weapons are legal to own. A tax must be paid; they must be registered. However, federal agents do not appear in the night to kick down doors and confiscate these weapons. The fraction of US society that would ban gun possession if they could is very small. They will never prevail. But , if we do not adequately address the on-going gun slaughter, we will end up losing more than if we'd made some reasonable suggestions ourselves.
