I'm sure similar threads have been posted in the past, but uh I'm new so I'll do it again
What is the logic behind the extremely restrictive laws against automatic weapons, silencers, and the like? I mean, it just seems to me that the only people being disarmed here are law-abiding citizens...I don't mean to start an argument, but it makes me sad that I can't practically AND legally own a fully automatic weapon. Or a silencer. Or modify my own weapon, seeing as I own the damn thing :\
Additionally, are there any loopholes that I should know about that WOULD enable me to own such things, legally and practically? I live in Florida.
Any info appreciated on this subject, as I am not terribly intimate with firearms laws, I only know the basics.
Edit: I hope this is in the appropriate forum.
