The 1934 gun law, and every one restricting rights since, have made it so the govt designs weapons, before that private inventors did so. Figure it out, the govt screws everything up. Ban machine guns, no one will make them....at least great ones with innovation.

Not everything. The M1 Garand was designed by civil servant, John C. Garand, at the Springfield Armory.

Huh? Tell that the Eugene Stoner... However, the government DID override a few of his specs on the original design of the M16, some good (IMHO - the forward assist), most disastrous ( different powder for the ammo, the concept of a "self cleaning" weapon, getting rid of the chrome lined chamber).
