Compared to what? A gopher hunter who spends an entire day popping prairie puppies compared to even the crazies who go do "tactical drills" firing hundreds of rounds at near full auto rates is kind of goofy, so I won't discuss that.
I've seen people sit at a range for hours, running ammo through their semiautos as fast as they can, one magazine after another. A full auto isn't going to make that cost anymore. it would only take another minute or two to burn through a magazine at semi auto compared to full auto. I gave up on wanting a full auto about a century ago, and cost wasn't even part of the question. At that time I was trying to get claymore mines to keep the darned cats from pooping in my roses.

There are millions more people out there that would vote for more social programs or $15 minimum wage than the repeal of the Hughes Amendment. Should be pretty obvious, looking at current polling data that half of the people living here don't care about gun rights in general much less machineguns. |

I wonder how many machine guns get removed from the civilian registry every decade from a breakage that can't be repaired?
Which will come first: a) the last worn-out registered MG receiver firing it's last shot before the final KABOOM; b) Apes will rule over humans; c) Large meteor hits Earth; d) the confiscation of all remaining legal civilian-owned machine guns; e) Our sun will turn into a Red Giant.

For my part, I'll pass on the full auto. It is not an itch I care enough to scratch. For me, just the ammo is un-affordable in quantities that would make it fun with a full auto.

Most of the MG's around here are owned by corporations. Local law enforcement wouldn't sign off for many years (required for personal ownership but not for a corporation), so anyone who wanted an MG just formed a corporation. I would imagine that if a "no inheritance" law were passed that even more MG's would be owned by corporations, and there would probably also be a lot of older MG owners selling their guns to their kids for $1 or putting them in trusts. |

I think the no inheritance comment assumes no sales or other transfers either.
Trusts are not the same as corporations. The trust does not own its assets. The trustee does. It still needs to be transferred to the trustee. |

If you have one that is beyond repair. I will pay for the stamps and shipping, then post a detailed thread on how I repaired it. It's pretty hard to do something that can't be repaired. Even "destroyed" receivers can be made operational by someone with time, even if they have crude tools. http://www.gunbuilds.com/38A/weld.html |
