Compared to this.......

But This is Just as deadly, same caliber, same available capacity, and I argue that the bottom one is one I would bug out with just for simplicity ( fewer parts) sake. Actually take both and use the sig sauer as barter .

The assault type weapon is one that looks like an assault weapon, but you have to pull the trigger every time you want to fire a shot(semi-automatic). Every rifle out there can be made to "look like" an assault weapon. That means, what they look like and what they are are too different things. People cannot buy an assault weapon without a special permit from ATF. The military issues assault weapons to its solders, not assault types!!

It's not a gun problem, but a people problem!!

If anyone converts a AR 15 to a fully automatic weapon, that's a huge felony. You could spend many many years in prison. A M14 can easily be converted to a fully automatic. The kit the Army issues is very tiny latch and spring. You have to have a class two automatic weapons license to possess a automatic weapon.

Criminals & crazies will always be able to purchase guns, and use them. No stopping that!

The conversion/ modification to fully auto is HIGHLY illegal . While this type of modification may function the weapon cannot be registered as a class 3 " fully auto" because it is not originally manufactured as such.

There are add on trigger mechanisms and " slide fire" stocks that make the weapon close to full auto but does not require it be listed as class 3.

The same goes for an SBR (Short Barrel Rifle) permit. $200 per firearm and 6 months to obtain. There are no manufacture date restrictions to owning an SBR.

The following is a quote form another article

Due to the fixed supply of fully automatic firearms that currently exist in the US that are available for civilian purchase, the price for the qualifying full auto guns is outrageous. For example, I found a full auto MP-40 described as being in “85% condition” for sale on GunBroker.com for the starting price of $14,000. Although, depending on the firearm, it is not uncommon to find prices upwards of $20k.
