Great, let's have a debate, tell me how I'm wrong.
But, be specific, the meme nonsense bums me out.

such as keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally unstable? Should be
you can own a car without a license, as long as you drive it on private property.
I didn't include price of weapon... lolYeah a lot more to the process than 200$ and cost of firing and buying is high as. But point taken.

I know right?
It only makes sense that a machine that has the potential to kill should be regulated.
Cars kill 40K?
Good news, we regulate the friend out of cars.
Yet...
Explain to me how cars are more regulated than guns.

why? what difference does it make? We don't eliminate cars because they kill all those people.

It’s painful reading all the denial in this article and him explaining away his own argument. Didn’t even make it past 6 paragraphs without him lying about regulation hasn’t negatively effected the automobile industry.
Guns and Their Users Should Be Regulated Like Cars and Drivers Are - NYTimes.com
It’s so hard to read the New York slimes, gah why do people do this to themselves.

Under the National Firearms Act of 1934 full auto firearms are required to be registered with the ATF. In order to register, you must have a tax stamp. To obtain the tax stamp, you must pay the ATF $200. The ATF will ask for some additional paperwork including fingerprints and a photograph - basically everything they need to do a background check. In conclusion: you can own a full auto if you pay the ATF $200. They will send you a "tax stamp" to let you know it is legal for you to possess the firearm in question.
The main issue with full autos is that the registry was closed in 1986; meaning no fully automatic firearms made after 1986 can be registered. So to obtain a full auto today, you have to find a full auto made before 1986 and convince the current owner to sell it to you. The limited supply means you will pay a pretty penny for a full auto firearm today.

There are 175,977 transferable full auto weapons in the NFA registry.
Hence, the reason for the high price. Prior to 1986, you could pay the $200
tax stamp and purchase a full auto AR-15 (yes, the original designation) for
around $800. Nowadays, $25,000 to $35,000. If for some reason, the
registered receiver gets damaged beyond repair.... that one is gone. Forever.
Yep. They are classified as "other destructive devices".
Besides the cost of purchasing an operable one, finding ammo is the problem.
@Dr.Brown wins the internet for a day.... for his find on armslist.
Is that what the liberals mean, when they say you can buy guns off the web ?

The chance of liberals banning guns is about as realistic as conservatives finally banning abortion.
