From a previous thread:
Soon to follow from replies, semantic arguments on Benjamin Franklin quotes, etc.
Others may disagree, but as a serious deer hunter, I'm very aware of poachers here in MI during hunting season. I'm positive, in MI, suppressors would be used after dark by a greater number of hunters if they became more available in MI.
I would have to state something I learned on this forum, from you. Regulations that might be reasonable in my neck of the woods might not be reasonable for yours.
As ownership of full-auto increases, at the very least in ratio, those couple of instances where legally owned full autos have ever been used in a crime would increase. IMO and experience, if even a American 180 were easier to aquire in lower MI, they would often be used in drive buys.
As far as never having shot a full or burst fire. Just because I have not been shot does not mean I need to be shot to know it would hurt or cause death.
Between the extremes there is a truth to not knowing something until you have tried it. ATM, with the experience I have had (even if that does not include firing something that is full-auto), I'm understanding of limitations on these firearm types, for the places I currently live, work, and shop.
I wish I could own a suppressor. I would like to own a full auto or burst auto. I'm willing to consider limitations on those items so long as it is not a route to greater 2A regulation.
