[Mg-t] scrappage laws

[Duvall Video Productions]

You can't walk through the US without tripping over a law and a  
lawyer....

South Carolina bans machines guns except for those who posses them in  
accordance with current federal law and all machine guns, even ones  
that are inoperable, must be registered with the state.

n 1934 the National Firearms Act banned machine guns (automatic  
weapons) except with permission of the Treasury dept.  Any automatic  
weapon manufactured after 1986 is banned from civilian use.

There are many versions of the AK47 and other rifles.  There are  
civilian versions that are semi-automatic and fire smaller civilian  
ammunition but look just like the military version.  It was likely  
that type of gun not the illegal machine gun (automatic) model that  
fires big honkin bullets like the military, drug dealers and 3rd world  
dictators use.

A federal class III firearms dealer can demonstrate an automatic weapon.

There is no "official" definition of an assault weapon.  A weapon is  
either a tool of defense or assault.  A gun is not a weapon when used  
for sport just like a knife is not a weapon when used for eating.

The anti gun left wants to ban anything that looks mean.  Hillary  
Clinton is now using the term "assault-like" weapons because semi- 
automatics are not machine guns (automatic).
