19. I'm sure they can't be converted easily, without a high degree
of skillful machining.

The point is, why would we ever want to make AW's legal so they can be purchased/stolen by any nutball who'll take out 20 or so citizens before he meets his maker?

There's no stopping a guy who can build his own machine gun from scratch, but that would leave 99%+ of the people without this capability.

I don't get the pro-gun crowd, I guess. I'm all for toughening the Federal laws for anyone caught selling/using machine guns. Yet, I often see the refrain, "enforce the existing laws". Yet you want to torpedo a common sense law like AWB?

Do you pro-AW people really think it's a great idea to turn this country into Iraq?
