Where is "newly produced" in that statement? I don't see it.

highly regulated-- limited to guns produced before 1986; and totally banned in at least 13 states hlthe2b Feb 2018 #5

How is it misleading? Kaleva Feb 2018 #8

Your comment that they are "legal" is misleading. One can NOT purchase newly produced "machine gun" hlthe2b Feb 2018 #9
