    Because old guns took 30 seconds to reload one bullet and were inaccurate past like 3 meters

      You could walk into a gun store and buy a fully automatic submachinegun until 1986.

        oh yeah? you could get that $200 tax stamp right there huh? National Firearms Act of 1934 was a thing in 1986 bro.

        maybe you could get your ffl to arrange for it ahead of time, using the info from your previous stamp applications…

        but the tax stamp still took time, stop acting like it was easy as picking up a cheeseburger. deliberately promoting the idea that fully automatic firearms were all over, it’s just the crazy people today that’s the problem, is facile bullshit.

      I think they meant like 1970, not 1870.

        I’m seeing a lot of shootings since the 80s. Guns get better and people get more fucked up mentally. America chooses to fix neither.
