Automatic weapons have been heavily regulated since 1934.

You have to cough up a hefty amount of money and submit your name and fingerprints to the FBI for a lengthy criminal background check.

After that, you can count on spending several thousand dollars to get the cheapest of automatic weapons.

This includes M16's and AK47's (select fire).

I can recall only one time in the last 20 years or so that an automatic weapon was used in a crime.

So, with that in mind, why ban them?

Check out how much fun you can have shooting them:
