How much money, liberty and privacy would you be giving up to legally own an Uzi?

Above said question.
I understand you have to go through a lot of government hoops. Register yourself with them, become a type III dealer, get all your other guns registered with the governemtn, then get approval from your local sheriff, then pay a lot of money for the license, then pay a lot more money for the gun. (this is true fo any full auto weapon)

How is this not a violation of RTKBA?
 
I personally would pass on a class III Uzi. Actually, I don't see a great deal of usefulness for full-auto capability for myself, but that's just me. It doesn't mean that's what I want for everybody else. (I'm funny that way, I guess.)

I agree. It might be construed as a violation of the letter of the 2nd Amendment, where it says "...shall not be infringed." But what can we do? If you try to own a class III weapon without the proper paperwork, you're asking for trouble.

Yeah, but it happens. There has been a huge market for 'parts kits' over the past few years and I seriously doubt they've all been bought separately by individuals and then melted down. When one table at a gunshow has parts kits and another has receiver tubes with templates glued onto them it doesn't take a Nostradamus to figure out what's happening.
The bigger problem is. . . once you put a squirt gun together and find a place to hide it you still have to buy ammo for it and find a place to shoot it. An Uzi can go through a whole bunch of ammo in a very short time.
 
Sorry, but I don't need or want one. And if I had one, I couldn't afford to feed it regularly.

There are a surprising number of full auto firearms shot at our club range, and I've had plenty of chances to shoot many different guns, from sub-guns through belt-fed. I am not convinced they are anymore effective than a good pistol.
 
Form 4

would be required with a separate $200 NFA transfer tax. If you file it as an individual, fingerprint, passport photos, and chief LEO's signature would be required. They would not be required if you file as a corporation or as a revocable trust.

AFAIK, C3 dealer status is not required unless you want to deal in C3 items. BTW, C3 stuff applies to more than just full auto items. It applies to suppressors (very useful to have when you are out hunting or just hiking in the woods due rattlesnakes and other living natural hazards) and SBR(short barreled rifle) and SBS(short barreled shotgun).
