If you have a basic knowledge of how an AR-15 works you can see how simple it is to convert it to full auto. It could easily be done at home with basic tools, but as you pointed out, that would be illegal.
Thats funny, because I have --intircate-- knowledge of the AR-15 and I KNOW it cant be done as you suggest.
You CAN geta full atuo sear and trigger group, but this requires the lowe receiver to be machined to accept it. Somethign that you;re not going to do with hand tools.

Well, we're not going to get anywhere with the "yes you can, no you can't" type of argument. It's really a smaller issue in the whole gun ban argument anyway.

All I have to do is get close to "Joe". It doesn't really matter how, but for our purposes, say I approach slowly and non-threateningly. I tell him I wanto to talk about our problems and the stun gun I have with me is nowhere in sight. After putting him at ease (or not, really, at this point his ego has already convinced him that I want no "trouble"), I bring the stun gun out and, before he knows what's happening, he's incapacitated and I have 10 minutes to do to him what I will. It wouldn't take much effort at all to slit his throat and I can dispose of the knife and stun gun anywhere, with little chance of them being traced back to me.

Firstly... are you seriously trying to say that's not as easy as pulling a trigger?
But I wasn't talking about how easy it is physically... I'm talking aboutthe mental difficulty... it's easier to kill someone from afar than to hold a knife and push it, breaking their skin and through their insides... with your own hand. This has been well documented.

because America is never going away, unlike the fading empires of Rome, and the UK

don't be so sure, when we ruled three quarters of the planet we thought the same (and have you seen how many countries are still part of the commonwealth? look for the british flags in other country's flags for just some of them)

So, in a way the USA isn't just protecting the world's supreme government, but it's protecting the world's supreme being.

You're kidding right? Now you think that the US is protecting GOD?
Jesus, you REALLY ARE up your own arses arent you

Don't bring me into this Dartful. I'm omnipotent. What in my name makes you think I need or want your protection?

It took a while for me to buy my last shotgun. It took 3 hours for a background check to clear.
I had a concealed permit in IN. I could go and get one anytime I wanted and carry it out. They don't have that here in TN. It took 6 weeks to get the permit, and I had to be fingerprinted.
I can see where guns can filter down, all a criminal has to do is steal them. Or buy them from some private party after they have been purchased. But if we are vigilant, we can keep the balance between our rights and our responsiblities. When the government starts to believe that individuals can't manage their own lives and rights, then we are on that 'slippery slope'.
The right to bare arms is a fundamental part of our consitution so we could rise up and fight if we hand to. It's as fundamental as the freedom of speech. I don't mind the limits and I don't mind the hassles of having them. It's all part of it.
If we jump to change it, it could mean a lot of unintend consequences we didn't even imagine.
The Canadians might take up arms and invade.
