Apparently they want to give shooters belt-fed machine guns!

They should go further and advocate the legal ownership by civilians such weapons as rocket launchers and tanks.

FYI. Civilian Americans have always been allowed to legally own belt-fed machine guns, rocket launchers and tanks. I don't know how many rocket launchers and tanks civilians own, but there are about 250,000 legally owned machine guns in the homes of American civilians right now.

These types of weapons are more tightly regulated than most, but if you aren't a criminal, can get your local sheriff to sign your form 4 and pass a FBI background check then once you pay the $200 tax you too can legally purchase a machine gun or 155mm howitzer if you can afford it. (subject to state and local regulations)

An interesting fact and something many of you probably don't know is that since the National Firearms Act (NFA) was signed into law in 1934 only one person has been convicted of murder for killing another person in the United States with a legally owned machine gun. In that case an Ohio police officer used his privately owned Mac-11 to murder an informant. No American civilian has been convicted of murdering anyone with a legally owned machine gun in the last 78 years.
