Probably getting off topic a bit here but:
Fully automatic weapons are regulated by the ATF, the Firearms act of 1934, and the IRS. This act privides for people to own fully automatic weapons and other destructive devices.

I'm not going to get into those laws specifically because they have been addressed other places on the forums.

But no where does it deny you the right to every weapon in existance. It says "keep and bear arms", nowhere does it define those arms. And before you can turn it against me, yes I know that the "arms" the framers were speaing of were single shot muskets.
