RE: Full automatic weapons used in crimes by their lawful owners:
You state: "...I would have to research it to verify" and "... that is beside the point"
No, I respectfully disagree, it is not. Lawful owners of these weapons, historically, do not commit crimes with them. Lawful owners of other types of firearms, in large part, do not commit crimes with their firearms either.
Most firearms used in crimes are not used by their lawful owners. Please take the time to verify that... I'll wait.
In the mean time, to address your other point: "Can you please tell me why any hunter needs more than 10 rounds in a clip?"
With all due respect, this debate on gun control is NOT about hunting. What it IS about is crime and tyranny and citizens ability to defend themselves against both.
