Firstly, I never said "local gun store."
Very smelly red herring!
So just where is it you think these "few people" will be able to legally
buy
machine guns, Jon?
Oh gee...let me think. How about a gun show? Nah, that would never
happen.
1) Yes, you could conceivably buy a machine gun--more likely a submachine
gun--at a gun show, but you'd have to jump through the same set of hoops as
if you'd bought it from a licensed gun dealer. $400 federal tax, fees,
etc., permit, 6-9 month waiting period, extremely extensive FBI background
check etc.
2) You can't buy fully automatic weapons from a private seller without
transacting the sale through an FFL dealer with the above provisions. It's
illegal to do otherwise, thanks to gun control laws. So does it happen?
Probably. What does that tell you about gun control laws?
