If your plan is to agitate me so much that I want to shoot guns, my hat goes off to you. Btw although you can buy assault rifles in America, I'm pretty sure your claim that they are "fully automatic" is incorrect. My understanding is that it is a felony to possess a full auto.

It's a felony to possess a full auto as a regular citizen made after 1986. It's perfectly legal to possess one (albeit with a huge price tag, $200 tax stamp, and 8 month wait) made and registered with the ATF before 1986. America is awesome.

All guns should be legal to own and carry, but the ammunition should be changed so that like 1 out of 20 rounds are actually explosive charges powerful enough to destroy the gun and the hands of the person wielding it. If you make you own ammo, you have to take it to the local gun shop and they'll run it through a sorter and add in the rigged bullets. If you have a muzzle loader, then you are a true gentleman and can do anything you want, up to and including dueling in the street.

This is a good temporary measure until we can bring more killbots online to roam the streets of our great country and randomly execute our citizens so we can maintain violence levels and still take away all out guns.

Actually, I shouldn't say 'take away all guns' because I think even with killbots, we should still be able to carry flintlock pistols and duel in the street because there will doubtlessly arise occasions in which one must satisfy one's honor oneself and it would besmirch one's honor to have to call the robotic death squad.

Seems like a novel way to commit suicide

"Houston Police Department officials say the shooting happened about 12:40 a.m. Saturday, when officers saw a man with a revolver standing in the road. Police say after officers asked the man to put down the gun, he instead pointed the revolver in the air, then at the officers. The officers then fired numerous times.

Spokeswoman Jodi Silva told CBS News the officers were "fearing for their lives.""

suicide by cop isnt novel at all, it's pretty common

No it's not surprising. Even here in Texas where it's very popular to be in support of nearly unrestricted gun rights, it's still weird to walk around a grocery store or a mall with a long gun. It's self evidently loving weird if you even think about it for a second. Lots of people in gun rights states support the political ideas there, but relatively few would walk around in public with a gun themselves. It's sort of like the people who hate the idea of taxing the rich because someday they might be rich even though they're dirt poor now. A lot of people want the rights to do something they'd absolutely never loving do and would be actively freaked out by someone else doing in proximity. This is the prevailing attitude in Texas.

Its like southerners are loving stupid or something.

Wow. That surprises me. So do the same laws state by state apply to a pre-1986 fully automatic assault weapon? Is it legal to carry in "open carry" states?

I live in the Midwest and despite what a lot of coastal folks/Europeans might think, people who open carry guns are largely viewed as repugnant in cities. Many businesses won't allow people to bring their weapons indoors and there's a general consensus that it's creepy and downright hostile. Nobody wants a pedicure at the OK Corral (or a shootout at the Golden Corral).

States are currently free to legislate whether or not their citizens may or may not own machine guns. I don't know if there are laws against open carry, i'd advise against it, not only because an automatic is inherently more dangerous should something go wrong, but that they generally cost $15,000 or more to procure.

Well of course I mean poo poo holes like Illinois, New York, and California do exist, but even in these places if you have your correctly classed FFL (which is usually only about $3000 + $500 every 3 years for destructive devices by the way) you're more or less golden but you're inviting a lot of scrutiny into your life.

Nah open carry is pretty dumb all the way around:
The people who do it
The police over reaction to it
The internet debate about it

There are much better ways to advocate for 2nd amendment rights without being a dick about it. It's the firearms equivalent of being a ICP fan.
