Comment on Why do people claim when they buy lets say an M16 Fully Automatic Assault Rifle it is for hunting or self protection? Could you just bow and arrow during a hunt for more of a challenge?

  You absolutely can buy full auto M16s. Assuming you have enough extra money set aside to buy a car.

    You can’t easily buy one? You need a tax stamp and that’s a bit of a process. But you can buy one.

      Access to full auto weapons varies from state to state. For example, fully automatic weapons are prohibited in California except for law enforcment.

      The eform system is really streamlined these days. Cost is the way bigger hurdle now.

        I mean, purely anecdotal, but I had a close friend who had to do the process and it took over six months of waiting. Not difficult I guess, but it did take a long time…

  Um…yes the US. I didn’t know bow hunting was very popular. I am in the deep south so it’s kind of like who has the biggest most badass gun is their dick size. But yes you can by those M16s in the US my brother got his for the marines.

      Buy the gun for the job you want, not the job you have.

      He was in the Army and found it boring. He had to buy his gun back then out of his so called paycheck but you get paid back.

        Uh huh. So he bought his M16 from the Army?

    I know a few people in the south who bow hunt, but I think they all also have guns. From what I can tell, it’s unusual about the same way someone having an antique car is unusual. Most people don’t and it’s a talking point, but not unheard of.
