I was actually going to make a similar point. I know a person who owns such a gun because he is a bit of a doomday prepper, but not terribly committed, and hopes that his owning a really good gun might get him invited to join a group of others who have, for example, made better food preparations than he, but not own as good of a gun.

In a doomsday scenario you can always use your gun to take away all the stuff the Amish have...:angel:
I mention this because my social studies teacher in High School did a topic on the Amish and the Abkajians, and a film we watched mentioned that because they practice more primitive farming, if anything happened to civilization, they would still be able to farm...

People on Indian reservations.
People in small farming communities (the ones that are left, anyway).
Mormons-some of them anyway.
Mennonites-some of them anyway.
Doomsdayers-the ones that have their **** in one sock, anyway.
People who live on boats-believe it or not...
You can have my sports car when you pry the keys from my cold dead hand!
I'm not quite sure why your panties are in such a bunch about this topic, but you are aware that nobody hunts ducks with a rifle? And if they do hunt, they are often using semi-automatic shotguns which have the exact same rate of fire as the so called "assault" rifles that are available to civilians?
So you rely on someone else to protect you and your loved ones?

Added note: it isn't difficult to legally own a fully-automatic weapon. It is just expensive due to the artificial scarcity (civilians may only own fully auto weapons manufactured or imported before 1986) driving up the prices.
So only rich people have easy access to fully automated weapons.
Hurts my feelings. The most fun I've ever had shooting with a firearm was with a borrowed MP5. Amazing platform. But I don't have an extra $20,000 to spend on one... yet.
Other fully auto weapons I've had the joy of playing with include WW II vintage BAR (first from a bipod, then Rambo style
), Tommy Gun, Uzi, AK-47, MAC-11 ...
If you even get the opportunity, spend a bit of money on some ammo and try it. Fun stuff.

Uncle Sam supplied mine. I wish to extend my thanks to the taxpayers for that.

That's also state dependent....in NY you would need to be running a mil/le related firearms biz to get a class III weapon or a suppressor as a civilian.

Folks,
Some of these posts are a step away from crossing the line on personal shots. Let's keep it civil please.

I blame my high school guidance counselor for not selling a law enforcement or a military career better.

Quite true. Here in Missouri things are pretty easy as far as Class III weapons. Just expensive to actually get your hands on the hardware.
