Oh how I would love to buy the same guns my free-state cousins buy!

Tens of thousands of legally-configured “off-list-lower” receivers for ARs and AKs have been lawfully purchased in California over the last few years — kicking holes in the teeth of the CA Assault Weapons Ban — with the knowledge, opposition, but eventual acceptance of our Bureau of Firearms. You see ‘em at the range, too. We’re shooting ‘em!

I guess that’s why Lost features the Kalashnikovs with all 10 round magazines :)

Not that I want to defend Hawaii’s gun laws, but there isn’t actually an “assault weapon ban” here. You need a permit to acquire and must register your guns, but the only restrictions on what you can actually buy are on magazines for handguns. This has been interpreted by the gun stores to mean any magazine capable of being accepted by a handgun, and therefore they don’t sell any rifle magazines with greater than 10-round capacities, but that requirement has never been legally stated. Unless you meant NFA weapons, which are indeed verboten out here. Not that any of this is acceptable of course, but we did manage to stop the .50 cal ban and the ammunition coding bills out here. The giant is being felled, one duck bite at at time.

It’s interesting to ponder though, how you justify that scary features have any effect on a compelling government interest that justifies overcoming the second amendment.

There’s no ban on AR-15′s in New York State; I own one. Just can’t have more than 3 “scary features” at any given time on the rifle. Yeah, it’s stupid, but until we can get rid of our own “assault weapons ban” that mirrored the now-defunct Federal one, it is what it is.

How many machine gun shoots take place annually?

I know there is:
Knob Creek in KY.
Bulletfest in OH.
Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot and Trade Show.

Google gives up:

The Big Sandy Shoot (AZ).
Fort Morgan MG Shoot (CO).
Dry Creek MG Shoot (AZ).
Cheyenne Wells Colorado Volunteer Fire Dept. Machine Gun Shoot.
The Banned of Brothers annual Texas Machine Gun Shoot.
Mustang Range Machine-Gun Shoot (NV).

I’m still looking for more.

“in the bullet path”

I had planned to go blasting with my AK this weekend, but with all the rain and flooding in this area of Wisconsin I don’t think the rounds will ever reach the target. Too many mosquitoes bullet path.

I was referring to the assault pistol ban. I didn’t change my language for the sake of brevity, but Maryland does ban some ugly guns.
