"BTW - " automatic weapons" ? Aren't there laws against those things already?"
They legal to own. It is a $200 "stamp" for each weapon. MILLIONS own them, collect them, and fire them legally, in no way committing a crime. I would bet that even Hillary would be hard pressed to show where a legal owner of an automatic firearm used them in a school shooting, or any other type of crime for that matter.
There have been NO LEGAL, or illegal, automatics uses in school shooting, that I know of.
IF you want to see some real autos in use some day, go see this, I went last year, it was a BLAST! (pun intended). LOTS of noise, NO crime and NO Obama/Biden bumper stickers ANYWHERE to be seen! LOL!! People come from all over the world to participate here.
