- Comment on What art style you want to reproduce? 11 hours ago:
The feeling of cheaply produced 80s and 90s cartoon productions. Clean, minimal lines with no or very little lineweight variation. Bright colors and distinct silhouettes. Facial structures closer to 80s TV cartoon anime, which were themselves often inspired by American cartoons and not nearly as angular and distinct as modern anime most often is.

Consider that a fire in one building in 1973 destroyed millions of military records of which there were no copies, ruining bookkeeping for military personnel who had been discharged up to the 1960s.
The world was much less digitized even in the 1980s. A lot of records were still kept on paper or microfiche.
In the world of The Terminator Skynet’s first move was to nuke population centers. That means destroying untold numbers of records. Sure some military and high level government records would be on ARPANET but not nearly what we are used to today would be digital. Anything physically filed was basically gone though. Thats a lot of blank spaces.

The real real was that the 1986 act was a mixed bag. The closing of the machinegun registry was part of a compromise where on the other end some record keeping and shipping requirements for FFLs were relaxed.
- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 1 month ago:
Part of the plot was that Skynet didn’t have great records. The terminator had to use a phone book and go down the line killing Sarah Conners because it didn’t know which one was the target

Modern day, sure no problem. Today’s micro red dots can be mounted to the moving slides themselves and survive.
In the 1980s? Maaaybe…
The laser in the movie is mounted to the frame by way of the grip, so it will shake around much less than if it were on the slide. Mounting optics to the frame is how competition guns were (and sometimes still are) set up.
The question comes down to the durability of a laser device made in the 80s. The movie’s laser was a specially made prop. On one hand it was made by the precursor to Surefire which is known for quality equipment, on the other hand I doubt the movie cared about it actually holding a zero.

I’m sure there are plenty.
The finer detail though is that any FFL with a table still has to run a NICS background check. While any non-FFL doesn’t (and to my knowledge can’t even if they wanted to), which is exactly the same as if they were selling privately in any other way.
So, it is sort of true you can buy a gun without a background check at a gun show, but it’s not like it’s a special law free zone where FFLs suddenly are exempt from the rules.

The process is quite simple. It’s just the prices…
- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 1 month ago:
The NFA existed.
- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 1 month ago:
Not entirely. Machineguns have, since 1934, been required to be registered with the federal government, and for a normal person individually require a federal approval to buy (a “stamp”).
What happened in 1986 was the machinegun registry changed from open to closed. This means, that new machineguns are no longer added to the registry, meaning that for the average person (ie not somebody involved in the industry with their own special licensing) the number of machineguns for sale is limited and supply over time will always be going slowly down.
The process for buying a machinegun is as simple as buying any other NFA item like a silencer/suppressor or an SBR. The cost has skyrocketed thanks to limited supply.
- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 1 month ago:
The point is that private sellers have been asking to access NICS (the background check system) but politicians, who are in charge of giving that access through laws, have not allowed it. It is not “strawmanning” to be talking about the people with the actual ability to provide the access.

- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 1 month ago:
In 1984, a full auto would still have been on an NFA registry. Open, rather than closed like today, but still not a simple one step sale.

Which you don’t just buy over the counter in a one step transaction.
