Many people believe you can't own fully automatic machine guns, but you can if you have what is commonly referred to as a Class III license. So if gun control laws are pointless why don't we see more gun violence caused by weapons whose purchase, ownership, and transfer is controlled by a Class III license like we see with firearms not controlled by a Class III license? How does a Class III license not infringe upon a citizen's 2nd amendment right?
I specifically addressed this point in a past thread. To briefly summarize, automatic weapons serve one real purpose, to suppress. You can't really make a legitimate self defense argument for a weapon designed only to suppress. Yes, I realize there are 2A proponents who disagree with me on this. Surprise, we aren't a homogeneous monolith.
