Progressives have been telling you lie upon lie about the ease with which fully automatic weapons can be purchased

Once again @easyh, I feel the need to correct some of the inaccuracies and misrepresentations you are promoting by spreading this video, and to somehow once again assign blame to so called"liberals" - where does it go from here. First you blame the victims in Puerto Rico for liberal Trump bashing, now its the liberals fault that their's a gun problem in the US - wow...
I will concede that a great many of points presented as "facts" are indeed factually correct however the underlying argument is fundamentally flawed. The assertion that it is "financially prohibitive and almost impossible" to purchase an automatic weapon in the US, is just blatantly WRONG. In fact i'm going to lay out exactly how anyone with the desire to own one and about $700, can in fact get you a fully automatic weapon within a couple hours - with minimal effort.
Now i'm going to go cheap just to prove the point but someone so inclined could spend a couple grand and buy a very nice Colt, Bushmaster, or DPMS and convert it to full auto in about 30 minutes or so, but for my example I will use the "Dear Leader's" example and say -
The average MS13 gang member can walk into a gun show in Florida, Texas, Nevada, or Alaska, and provided he or she has a valid drivers license, and no criminal record, buy a Korean made semi automatic offshoot of an AK47 for about $300 or $400 - give or take. That person can in most cases walk two or three booths down and buy an aftermarket "lower assembly" for another $150, and then walk down another three or four booths to the shady looking guy selling gun "parts" and buy the correct "sear pin, bolt, and selector switch", for an additional $100 or $200. The point made toward the end of the video that "converting a firearm to full auto" is a federal crime, probably is not all that much of a deterrent to our MS13 example.
Regardless of whatever side you fall into on the gun debate - you should be concerned at how easy it really is to acquire an automatic weapon.We should also be aware of the fact that all the laws in the world will not stop anyone who is so inclined to do so...
Just to make my position clear, I wholeheartedly believe that Americans can and should be able to own such weapons (If nothing else, to protect ourselves from the government), provided all the relevant hoops were jumped through - so to speak...

Have you bought some weapons ?

America , as you know ....

The LV shooter worked for an alphabet agency and was running guns. Law abiding gun owners are not shooting people up, Christians are not going around killing people. They are using this narrative for a gun grab. The founding fathers put the 2A in to protect against a tyrannical government!
