    If I could afford a good full-auto lower I'd be all over it. I can't be a true Mall Ninja until I have one to go with the rest of my kit.

    We could follow that swat operator wannabe mall ninja logic down to body armor, pistols, ar 15s, oakleys, and crew cuts.

    I want it cause I want it. I find them enjoyable to shoot and generally cheap to feed. I don't believe mall-ninja wannabe fits the description of my desire.
    There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting an mg of one type or another "just because." If you can afford it and want it, buy one. I just meant that someone might want an MP5 because the "cool special ops guys" have 'em, so I want one too. Nothing wrong with that either.

    i think the fact of the matter is this applies to absolutely everyone, to some degree or another. even the "cool special ops guys" themselves.

    we all love HSLD gear.. it's damn fun.

    i think i'm a pretty well-grounded and level-headed guy. i don't tell war-stories, i don't know what color the boathouse is at Hereford. but you should see me hunting- might as well be heading up the Nung to pay a visit to Col. Kurtz. why? it's fun. camo'd up, ammo'd up, enough food to last a week, 20 miles from the nearest road... with the intent to kill.

    a buck.

    would i take a FA M4 if i had one? sheeeit... would there be any other option, at that point?

    I think there has been a drop in the collectible firearms market in general. If you have money, there probably won't be a better time than now to pick up something NFA.
    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.

    not trying to derail this thread but....

    the people do. the .gov can have em, so we should be able to as well. i believe that not being able to easily procure a full auto weapon is an infringement on my second amendment right.

    I should be able to go down to my local gun store, and walk out with a fully automatic, suppressed, short barreled m16 w/ stand alone m203 and HE rounds with nothing more then a background check to make sure im not a felon.

    why? because the power should be in the hands of the people.

    i guess im a little radical

    yea, you are. furthermore, in my opinion, the background check itself is an infringement. that's a condition put upon a RIGHT- you must do this, or you get no guns! bullshit.

    i'm not even opposed to "felons" owning guns. call me naive, call me a country boy who doesn't see what the city-streetz is like, but once you do your time, you need to get all your RIGHTS restored. if someone isn't safe enough to buy a gun, they're not safe enough to be on the street. if they're safe enough to be on the street, they're safe enough to own an arsenal of machineguns.

    because.... get this.... if you're on the street, you can get a gun, and cant any laws keep that from happening.

    rather than derail this mother any more, perhaps the conversation should be taken here: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=33928

    You can for the most part. Just sign some paperwork and wait for them to get around to you.



    It is. They aren't illegal.

    edit* This stemmed from another posters assumption that wanting one was mall-ninja territory so lets keep it in perspective. He explained himself. I want a mg to be clear.
    i understand you can, i guess what i was getting at is that the process is a little difficult, and you cant own a new manufacture machine gun, which aparently are affordable.

    Really??? Wow! I thought we had it bad down here in the Philippines... You can get one here brand new for 8K max.
    You can even get a Daewoo K3 (Patterned after the M249) for a bit less...
