No new legal full-autos have been manufactured for the civilian population since 1986. Fully automatic weapons and destructive devices (grenades, bazookas, etc.) have been taxed and regulated since 1934. The National Firearms Act of 1934 requires that before a private citizen may take possession of a fully-automatic firearm he must pay a $200 tax to the Internal Revenue Service and be approved by the Treasury Department to own the firearm, which is registered to the owner with the federal government. @ 150,000 fully automatic weapons are owned by private citizens. Since 1934, I can only remember reading of three LEGALLY OWNED AND REGISTERED fully atuomatic weapons being used in a crime. One of those was committed by a Police Officer. Now, if you buy into the gun control advocates definition of "assault" rifle as anything that "looks like" a fully automatic rifle and fires once each time you pull the trigger, the number is eaisly into the millions.
