But according to Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) the civilian version AR15 (military called M16) can not be converted to fully automatic with less than the knowledge of gunsmiths that is required to build a brand new fully automatic weapon from scratch.

Correct. The receiver on civilian versions is not machined out to accept the full auto parts. Having served I've seen the difference up close.

Gary, I think you're just addressing mission creep of laws. Fair topic but I do not see it as the same as the question I raised.

I think Clyde gave an honest answer. However, it's not the answer we here most often. We hear things where a broad brush is used. Is it any wonder some of us hear/read these broad, and so eventually incorrect on some point, arguments and tune out?

The original response was to look at your question backwards. Who breaks laws? There are the people who are so honest they believe everyone follows all laws all the time. I haven't met anyone who thinks there are people who break all laws all the time.

Reality is a sheet of paper with writing will not keep you safe. What keeps you safe is there being no reason to attack you. A job to keep idle hands busy perhaps? A path to grow? Others who don't bully?

There were 800 killings in Chicago this year.
How many were attributed to NRA registered weapons?

NONE. Zero. Nilch.

Time to ban knives, they cause such carnage
http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/general-news/20160924/6-stabbed-at-pasadena-house-party-suspect-arrested
A man stabbed six other men, critically wounding two, at a house party in Pasadena early Saturday, authorities said.

Police jailed Aaron Hong Te, 21, of San Gabriel on suspicion of six counts of attempted murder in connection with the bloody melee, which unfolded just after 3 a.m. at a home in the 3100 block of California Boulevard, Pasadena police Lt. John Mercado said.

“The investigation revealed that suspect Te bumped into someone at the party and a fight quickly erupted,” he said in a written statement. “During the fight, Te produced a knife and started to stab people who were standing close to him.”

Question:

Does it really make any difference. If anyone who Murder's, Rob's, Rape's, Threaten Innocents at Gun Point, etc. Is mentally ill?

Because they don't have a gun?!

BTW Gary. I was responding to our Mental Health Crises.

We have one in America. It is in police officers who imagine bullets flying at them from every direction all the time. They are in desperate need of treatment. They have a terminal case of "us vs them" If not treated it will be terminal.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/10/01/man-admits-killing-19-people-in-chinese-village-after-argument-with-parents-over-money.html
A man has confessed to killing 19 people in one village after an argument with his parents over money.

The Xinhua news agency, quoting police, said Yang Qingpei first murdered his mother and father, then went on a killing spree of their neighbors to prevent them reporting his crime.

A list of the victims' names circulating online showed they included 11 males and eight females, with the youngest a three-year-old girl and the oldest 72.

Four names were minors under 18.

Sad, but since murder occured in PRC and not the USA, and the weapon used was not named... What does this have to do with USA gun laws?

Please explain.

Nothing.

Nothing to someone who believes only the government should have guns.

As to those who claim only guns can be used for mass murder in a non-gun control country ...
