About 5 years ago I would have agreed with this, but every thug that gets arrested these days seems to have a Glock switch.Despite what the movies would have you believe most 'machine guns' in the US are almost entirely owned by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, they might not be 'typically possessed' in great numbers but nonetheless are owned by law-abiding citizens
It's the Federal District Court of Hawaii, not a state court. Next stop after the Hawaiian Federal District Court -- 9th Circus Court of Appeals. Grieve is correct that it can't be cited as a precedent, but rest assured it will be cited by BATFE nevertheless as a case every other court they're dealing with should take note of.Ummm........okay?
Seems like he was saying no worries, trial court, not a Federal court.
The twisted logic used by some of these courts requires a Boy Scout Handbook to untie.
Not typically possessed because the government makes it nearly impossible to do so. I’m sure 80% of the people here wouldn’t mind owning a mp5 or m4 full auto if we could go to our LGS and pick one up for 1k or less'machine guns are highly ‘dangerous and unusual weapons’ that are not ‘typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes’

Leftys took machine guns away??... It was Ronald ReaganBeat me to it. How convenient for the lefty gungrabbers to claim they aren't "in common use" or "typically possessed" when it was a previous generation of lefty gungrabbers that MADE full auto nearly impossible for the common person to actually own.
And, yes, if I COULD own full auto AR or even AK platforms without paying ridiculous prices and doing ridiculous paperwork, you'd better believe I absolutely would. Hell, I'm even interested in full auto pistols, SMG's, whatevers--I just am not wealthy enough to even consider it. Would I run 'em in full auto? Maybe every once in a great while just for fun...would I like to be able to have that option whenever I felt like it? Oh hell yes.
Huh. Guess I'm an example of what those gungrabby leftist ****ers wanted to accomplish.
Who, in spite of his public image of the time, allowed it to happen... so yes, my statement stands.Leftys took machine guns away??... It was Ronald Reagan
Decades ago I believe it was an Ohio police officer killed his wife with a registered Ingram Mac 10.I can't remember where I read this, but it said that "no registered and legally owned machine gun had ever been used in a crime".
Thugs are gonna thug.
