Let me be crystal clear right out of the gate. Any law restricting the possession, manufacture, or sale of machine guns violates the Second Amendment. I do not give a flying shit what politicians or judges think about it. The language is not vague. It is not mysterious. It does not require interpretive gymnastics. It is plain English.
Now for some honesty. Shooting full auto is mostly a great way to turn expensive ammunition into noise. Accuracy disappears, ammo evaporates, and the novelty wears off fast. Semi automatic firearms combined with solid marksmanship beat spray and pray nonsense every time.
The real attraction to full automatic weapons has never been practicality. It is desire. People want what they are told they cannot have. Forbidden fruit with a selector switch. There are likely millions of machine guns sitting quietly in safes right now, hurting exactly no one and bothering nobody.
Yes, legally transferable machine guns exist. The problem is that banning newly manufactured ones turned prices into something you would expect to see on a collector car, not a firearm. That is not public safety. That is artificial scarcity and economic stupidity.
Meanwhile, technology did not ask permission. Digital files exist. Modern manufacturing exists. Knowledge exists. The idea that lawmakers can wish this away is pure fantasy. The Glock switch just happens to be the most famous example, not the whole story.
Of course, if some so called friend decides to snitch on you, congratulations. You are now hiring bail bondsmen and lawyers while enjoying a rent free cage, lousy food, and medical care that would embarrass a third world clinic.
Here is what politicians refuse to understand. The number of fully automatic firearms has increased exponentially because technology moved on without them. Anti machine gun laws do exactly one thing. They waste ink, paper, and taxpayer money. Trees died for nothing, and nothing was stopped.
