One way or the other, average citizens are not the ones who want to buy automatic weapons, and they aren't the ones that are going to be standing up during a time of government oppression/civil unrest. I personally think buying an automatic rifle through legal means is a hindrance to any act of rebellion rather than helpful because what it does first and foremost is put you on a list of people to go after first once the shit hits the fan.

All I'm saying is, reserving the most effective killing machines for people in positions of authority, or working directly for that authority, is dangerous for the common man, unless you trust that authority explicitly and in all situations; which I have to say, I don't.
