Fully Automatic Firearms: Don't DO IT

Another really challenging, interesting question. Please don’t believe all you read on the internet. Let’s take a look.

Have I ever personally shot a fully automatic pistol or rifle? I have not. My understanding is you run through a 17- 50 round magazine in just a few seconds, so I’m told. In my opinion, it's nothing but a waste of ammunition and money just to say you fired an automatic pistol or rifle, which is probably illegal in most states unless you're at a range that's legally set up for this activity. If not you’ll go to jail for. 

1) They can't. Anything they do to stop this, a person with sufficient skill could find a work-around. 

2) Firearm manufacturers have no obligation to prevent people from using their products in a manner that is illegal. How can they? If you have suggestions, please let us know.

Let’s look at this manufacture example, why doesn't Ford do anything to prevent people from using their cars to commit crimes? They can't, and they have no obligation to do anything about it, just like a firearm manufacture. Do they try? I believe, they do.

If this is the case, the same thing must apply to all manufacturers. The makers of baseball bats cannot do anything to prevent a person from using their bat to beat someone to death. The makers of chainsaws cannot do anything to prevent someone from using their chainsaw to murder someone. The makers of kitchen knives can't prevent someone from using their knife to murder somebody. The list goes on and on.

My thought, perpetrators will continue to assault, rape and kill innocent people. Whether a chain saw, knife or baseball bat is fully automatic, the insanity must stop now. Protect yourself legally. Take classes, practice, understand the laws. Stay safe friends.
