alloy,
I think what Ken is saying is that lacking a conviction on their record a member of MS13 or any other gang can legally buy a gun. So, if all FA weapons are unrestricted (requiring only a NICS check) then such a person might walk into Walmart and buy one.

Right now it would be a bit more difficult for that to happen.

Under current law I think the answer is yes. I don't think NICS lists members of gangs and it is not to my knowledge a prohibited class.

Don't know for sure but I don't think many gangs have .50 M2 Machine guns. They are difficult to get even legally but would not be if the NFA were repealed. That is the issue.
