In Maryland you can take home a long gun or shotgun at a gun show right

there should be a 10-day wait for any firearm purchase, and that the
sale of fully auto firearms be prohibited to civilians.

The number of class III weapons was frozen in 1986 (Reagan) so there
have been no new machine guns sold to the public since then. The
gandfathered ones are "property" and protected by the 5th and 6th
amendments, even if you take the Bloomburg spin on the 2d.

Are you really advocating a "taking"?

The fact that the machine guns sold are not new is not relevant. Any
decent smith can restore a used firearm in reasonable shape to "as new"
condition.

Yes, I believe civilian possession of automatic firearms ought be be
illegal. I also can't think of a reason to allow 30 round or larger
mags/clips for semi-auto assault style rifles. I suppose it is fun to
pretend you're a boy soldier in Afghanistan, and carrying a rifle that
looks like theirs, but most of them aren't so hot for hunting or target
practice. I know this because I have hunter friends who take their
"sport" seriously and I've asked them about this.

In fact, I doubt most of those semi-auto assault rifles or their owners
will outshoot for accuracy my .22LR target rifle, and it looks like an
ordinary rifle. Its mags only hold 5 or 10 rounds.

I've got one of these:
