Nope. It's not.
We're having this conversation all the time.
Fact is, most American's want sensible gun regulation, but no one wants an outright ban. So we get gun regulation, like the fully automatic ban.
A conversation on gun control is fine, imo. Just without the"AHA!" snark behind it everytime something happens (And I say it again, there are people with rpg's.. Laws aren't magic that stops people from getting shite, unfortunately..)

They can make supermarket trolleys that the wheels jam up within a certain distance of the store so they can't be taken too far. They can make anti-social behaviour ankle tags that can alert authorities when someone is outside their home during their curfew hours but they can't make guns that only fire within a certain distance of their registered home or at proper gun clubs and firing ranges
Weird that.

One side saying "gun reform!" and the saying "2nd Amendment!" and nothing much else happening really isn't.
Assault rifle ban was in 1994. The ban is iirc, currently expired and in legal limbo

Where do you think he got it?
I have no idea. There are a few possibilities. He could have perhaps bought it when it was still legal, which I think was until 1985-1986. Most likely though he got it illegally, though I understand he had legal gun purchases as well.
I have also seen people in the media talking about silencers and stuff in regards to this weapon. People need to know that silencers are not like in the movies, they will not allow some stealth gunshot, it is mostly used for protection(a gun is loud and can damage your ears, a silencer will reduce it to a slightly more tolerable level).
