Ownership of machine guns in the US has been heavily restricted for more than 80 years. In that time the only person in the US I know of who has been convicted of murdering someone with a legally owned privately held machine gun was an Ohio police officer. Legally owned machine guns aren't a big problem in the US. Hell, they aren't even a small problem. The regulations currently in place regarding machine guns seem to be sufficient.
I know this, thanks.

Define random inspection.
If you mean having law enforcement set an appointment with a private citizen to meet at a mutually agreed upon time and place so the machine gun can be inspected then maybe.
If you mean allowing the cops to show up unannounced at someone's home and demand entry in order to inspect that person's legally owned property without a warrant then no. That would be a violation of the 4th amendment.
I think you meant to quote Brewer. I can agree with your stipulations, though.
