Yeah, and we should be taking the position that full auto rifles are safer in the hands in dumb KRIMINALS since they'll use up their ammo faster. Therefore the registry closure should be reversed.

I remember as a kid the booths at the county fair had full auto .22 shorts with a magazine of about 40 rounds per turn to shoot all red out of he target.

You could do a lot better shooing bursts than clamping the trigger.
