They're not banned, they're highly regulated. Civilians can still purchase fully automatic weapons.
They were "banned" in 1986, so they have to have been made before then (and have the proper paper trail) in order to be sold/possessed by a civilian.
Yes, the point is that they are still circulating, and are allowed to be purchased.
Also, military style Semi-Automatic weapons regulation ran out on 2004. Meaning people can purchase high-capacity magazine guns.
The capacity of magazines you're allowed to have varies by state. My state just passed law to restrict it to 7 rounds, previously it was 10, however you could have larger magazines if they were made before 1994.
Your states regulation laws doesn't apply to the 49 others.
Hence why I suggest they regulate high capacity magazine guns at a national level.
What is your opinion on gun control?
