Well Sturtle, as far as I know, any citizen can propose a bill but one needs a congressman or senator to actually introduce it. At least thats what I remember from high school civics class. Maybe someone else here can elaborate.

I think it would be awesome to end run the Federal govt. on this. I think its stupid to not allow full autos (post 86) for civilians. What is even more stupid than that is the severe restrictions on suppressors. In some places in Europe, where they have Draconian gun laws, a guy can purchase a supressor over the counter. A supressor isn't even a weapon, except in the eyes of the BATF...

Another good thing that might come from this is if a guy could buy these over the counter, the prices of these items might come down a lot. Better yet, a guy could make his own.

I personally don't have much interest in full autos. I can barely afford ammo as it is, but I hate the idea that the Govt doesn't want me to have one. At least not without jumping through all the hoops. I would however, LOVE to get my hands on a suppressor or two. Eventually, when funds allow, I'll do all the necessary paperwork and get one or two. I think they would be great for varmint hunting. Particularly prairie dogs.

If anyone knows how to get a bill like this going in Colorado, let me know. I'll help in any way I can.
