Need a definitive definition of what’s an assault weapon. Machine guns are illegal and have been for over 60 years. But what an assault weapon. The devil is in the details.

“But what an assault weapon.”

The Clinton AWB spelled it out in detail.

Anything that looks “scary” and has big “clips” for the “shells”.

Fully automatic guns are 100% legal to own. They just need to be manufactured prior to 1986, and you have to pay the Feds a $200 tax when they change ownership.

Nope. Buy the stamp (i.e. pay the "tax") and buy the machine gun. Lots of folks own fully automatic weapons, including REAL assault rifles, machine guns, etc. Not cheap to keep'em fed, but perfectly legal to own (at least by federal law).
