(27,787 posts)You should notice that I did not attempt to define the classes of weapons.
I'd bring in law enforcement, FBI, military and maybe some others to define the classes and the required criteria that must be met.
I recently heard a man who owned a farm claim that the deer population in his state is so large that they destory entire crops. So at certain times, they hold an event to thin the heard. They drive the deer towards one or two shooters, armed with semi-automatic weapons. After the first shot, the deer scatter, and so they need the ability to fire more rapidly.
I'm not sure how much of this situation is true, but I'm not against the possibility that it is a real situation. And so, these folks could obtain such weapons, but the hurdles to do so would be non-trivial. Which they are today.
