Maybe the liscensing for the full-auto weapons should be much more difficult than for semi-auto....i agree that I don't like the idea of my crack-head neighbor owning a box of uzis.

It is hard to get full auto weapons since only a few states allow NFA Class 3 permits. Not only have long waiting peroids(6 months per transfer), $200 fee, put into a database, need police approval, plus the manufacture of these weapons stopped since
1986 causing the price to go up. An Mac 11 machine pistol which should only cost $300 cost about $4,500 without the fees from the government. An AK which would be $600 is actually 10-15 grand. A very high price for a gun that is used and 22 years old. The few people that buy them are gun ranges to make money off of people that can't buy them.
