//It is not legal in the US to own assault weapons.//

"The state does not prohibit possession of assault weapons... according to the NRA."

I'm pretty sure you can buy a belt fed M60 off the shelf from Walmart in some states, and I'm also pretty sure you can buy a P90 with a 50 round clip if you can afford it.
I think it might depend on state laws.

Also it must be noted that some of these laws trample on the constitution which says 'right' to bear arms; not 'privelidge' / 'conditional' upon.

Don't forget, US citizens voted Trump in with his support of the second amendment.

People here who wish to impose their thoughts and idea on the citizens of America should remember that they already cast their vote; in support of guns, what they are hearing now is a well publicised media at work trying to shape their opinions and put aside the choice of the majority of citizens.

The US voted to keep their guns, and this shooting will not change that point of view.

Toni Lavis,

Is there anything about murder being illegal?

A patronising Oz PM and Oz 'meeja', led by 'their' ABC and the 'culturally powerful' Waleed Al, might be advising Uncle Sam to double that law.

AC,

"I'm pretty sure you can buy a belt fed M60 off the shelf from Walmart in some states, and I'm also pretty sure you can buy a P90 with a 50 round clip if you can afford it.

Automatic weapons, in the US, have been rigidly controlled since 1934, and no licenced automatic has been used in a crime since that date.
If you can look up conspiracy theories, surely you can look up a few facts as well.

The P90 is automatic and is not sold to civilians and as it has a 50 round magazine, and only a 50 round one, then you got that right.
It does not fire a clip.

IS MISE...I don't think ownership of the category F/A's or the number you've specified herein, to be either excessive or cause concern to any licensing authority. IS MISE I'm not speaking personally, purely speculatively based on many discussions I've had with the various Registrar's.

I think I commented before on your No.1 Ruger .220 swift a very flat trajectory, and deadly on foxes I'd imagine. I've also mentioned previously, years ago I had Ruger No.1 (Tropical) in .458W that was designed to accommodate the big four on the dark continent. Interestingly, the 'Tropical' in .458W is not mentioned in the 'Blue Book'? I've lost all interest in shooting now. Thanks IS MISE.

Hi there PAUL1405...

Our colleague IS MISE has a very conventional assemblage of F/A's, more so than many others I've known. And as his preferred sport, he's entitled to pursue it as long as he wants. I read somewhere many of those who enlisted in WWl from the cities, had to be taught rifle skills literally from the ground up. Whereas many from the bush could out-shoot their instructors!

I was a member of the Hurstville VDC Rifle Club (1950's - mid '60's) and we regularly shot every Saturday at the old ANZAC Rifle Range, Liverpool. All our ammo (.303 Ball) was sold at greatly reduced prices, as was our rifles. I purchased a new, No. 1 Mk.3 Lee Enfield Rifle, still in it's original packaging, for 3 Pounds Aussie. Heavily discounted by the Army for the purpose of continuing to train man and women, in the correct use of a basic military rifle, as well as developing competent shots. I was 16 years when I joined and loved every minute of it and learnt so much about 'bedding and floating' barrels. The most expensive item to be purchased was, a heavy barrel, and the aperture sight. The 'Central', 'Rawson' or 'Parker Hale' being the preferred.

You should also know Paul, IS MISE served with famed 3RAR in the Korean War, the most highly decorated Aussie unit to have done so. He'll always have my respect for that.

Someone else said it : Let them have all the guns they want, but bullets cost $1000 each...
