Machine gun owners in america

Question

do u actually use your machine gun as a defense weapon, like in the house or out when u go hiking or whatever?

Answer 1

I don't know. I constantly wonder what would possess someone to drop tens of thousands of dollars on something that spits out shells faster. I just don't understand at all.

Edit; I am getting a lot of thumbs down but ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has bothered to tell me why. If you are going to TD, then at least have a backbone and say why.

Answer 2

I own an M16, which was owned by my father when he was young. It is a pre-ban Item, and I know it is worth a lot of money, I have shot it once, and .223 is not cheap, I do own an AR15 also which I shoot all the time, but I would never keep either of them for self defense, that is overkill. I do not understand people that do that. And it is illegal to have something like that when you go hiking if it is a state park but other than hi-capacity, not for long thanks to the NRA. I stick to my 12gauge mossberg or my glock for self defense.  

Answer 3

Lol I hope not.

Answer 4

i use it on people who ask stupid questions like this.

but mine is an airsoft. tat,tat,tttttttat.....

Answer 5

No, I use it to take the money back from the hookers I buy.

Answer 6

Home defense?  Get real, there are weapons much better suited for home defense than a machine-gun.  And being able to own a machine-gun doesn't automatically mean you can casually carry one when you leave the house or go on a nature hike.  It is just this kind of mentality that leads to gun banning.  Try to explain to the park police why you are taking a nature hike through the park carrying a fully automatic sub-machine gun.  Try explaining to homeland security or the CIA why you are in possession of a machine-gun when the Prez is in town and he just happens to be... Around the corner!  See how easily even innocently irresponsible actions can lead to big trouble!

A Full Auto firearm was designed for one purpose and one purpose only.

Lay down lots of lead fast.

The idea behind it is not accuracy, nor control. It is a psychological weapon.

They keep peoples heads down.

One for self defense is a fools errand. First you can't aim after the round if it is hand held or shoulder fired. Second the chance of collateral damage is extremely high. Third the rounds used in FA's will go through the target and the wall behind it, Not a good thing if you live in suburbia.  

Answer 8

There have been 2 uses of Machine guns for self defense in the United States in the last 50 years.

Harry Beckworth. Here.....

The other is the Gary Fadden incident, Which you can read about here.

Generally Machine gun owners have lots of guns , and ones that are better suited to self defense (at least once the law shows up and the trial starts) then machine guns.

Answer 9

No, I use my double silenced Uzis to kill pesky birds.

By the way, I'm 90% sure that fully automatic weapons are illegal in America unless you have a special permit.  I think you can legally purchase 3 round burst guns though.

Personally, I don't get this question.  Anyone you owns a machine gun illegally probably isn't going to carry it in their vest when there's a chance that a law official might see it.

Answer 10

I hope there are not that many machine gun owners in america....
