      Machine guns aren’t illegal if you have a stamp.

        Are you aware of what is involved in getting that stamp? The only people who bother are collectors.

      It really isn’t difficult to buy illegal weapons in America.

        No, you didn’t. Machine guns aren’t legal to own unless you have a very expensive permit which basically grants the ATF an unlimited warrant to perform a search for it.

        Also, this article is about the US, so making that distinction isn’t necessary.

          Replacing one or two parts to make a weapon automatic is easy. The article doesn’t clarify what a “machine gun” is or what make or model. Buy a few AR15s, replace the parts. Machine gun. And illegal. Fitting the article’s definition.

          I was thinking more like we prevent kids from having recess, so their brains don’t develop and they’re easier to control.

          That might help reduce the flow of American guns from coming into Canada.

          Most of the weapons crossing the US/Mexico boarder are going southbound.

            Cartels smuggle a fuck ton of weapons, especially automatics, into the US.

            They don’t really have to smuggle them southbound because the US straight up gives them guns to destabilize countries we have financial interests in.
