Yeah, we know - America is only great when it has a gun in its handsIt seems that post touched some raw nerves with some Yanks - Try using some soothing balm on them :-) Firstly, the FIRST word in that report was: Viewpoint which many non Americans have. IT IS NOT down to us to change that viewpoint but you Yanks to change it for us, preferably without a gun in your hands. CAN you do that? Secondly, it was suggested I stop chastising the whole of (y)our great nation because of a few. Hmm, just a few, well let's see... Iraq 172,000 Afghanistan 100,000 Syria ??? ...that seems to be more than a few to me. What was the legitimate reason to go war with those countries again? At one time wasn't it "In God we trust"? Only now it is "In guns we trust". |

They, as those in the UK and most other Countries. Have no real understanding of the American Political System, nor the varied and very different Cultures within. Well. Actually non US people knows a lot about the US legal systems. Even more you can ever think. But perhaps I should plead the Fifth Amendment:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERm_WNxGs1U |

Perhaps with the recent great influx of people from a non western culture and religion into your country. You may understand. I understand very well. Been going by tubes from T-Centralen to Rinkeby and Tensta, also called the Orient Express, where my GF lived. And there is also towns here that implement laws differently, like Stockholm and Göteborg (Gothenburg). I have personally very bad experiences of that :( |

Oh dear, 50,000 gun-toting Americans have joined a Facebook campaign to shoot down Hurricane Irma when it hits Florida. Talk about idiots (I hope that their bullets come back to bite them and not some poor innocent people). |

Oh dear, 50,000 gun-toting Americans have joined a Facebook campaign to shoot down Hurricane Irma when it hits Florida. Let's see 50,000 shooters, 100 rounds each, = 5,000,000 rounds of ammo expended, someone owns an ammo plant! Hey, trump could nuke it to get it to stop and blame it on Kim! ;-) |

Eyes shut & shoots... Something is missing from that report. It doesn't say if there was an NRA bumper sticker on the car. |

Eyes shut & shoots... If there was a sticker they would have made a big deal about, so no sticker. ... |

At least 50 dead & over 200 injured... "Nevada has some of the least stringent gun laws in the United States. People are allowed to carry weapons and do not have to register themselves as a gun-owner. Background checks are done when people buy guns, but they are also allowed to sell them privately. The state does not ban assault weapons, which are automatic or semi-automatic firearms, and there are no limits on buying ammunition there. " |

Sorry Sirius, machine guns are illegal in all 50 states, trusts, territories and possessions. |

Oops, only quoting the BBC It seems they employ anybody these days with "fake degrees" & with a propensity for "fake news" Edit. On checking again, the last section before the batch of photos has now been amended :-) |

Sorry Sirius, machine guns are illegal in all 50 states, trusts, territories and possessions. The NRA begs to differ... Nevada does not require registration of non-NFA firearms including for open carry. Automatic firearms (ie machine guns) are legal if they are federally registered. |

Automatic firearms (ie machine guns) are legal if they are federally registered.Try and get that license otherwise they are illegal federally. <ed>You need a sit down in your place of business interview with an ATF agent. Then you need a "special Occupations" permit on top of your Federal Firearms Dealers license to have class III weapons. |

Due to FOPA, the ATF ruling on this was that it only applies to full-auto firearms manufactured during or after 1986. Anything beforehand is exempt in Nevada. Edit: A story on this from today. They need only be registered; anyone who can legally own any firearm can do so. |

Most states do not provide additional restrictions on top of Federal requirements to own automatic weapons. It’s actually shorter to list the states which restrict NFA weapons: https://www.quora.com/In-which-states-is-it-legal-to-own-a-fully-automatic-weapon ... |
