I own a civilian legal version of the Armalite rifle , but the one I want, is a Pre May 86 M-16.  But my generic semi automatic AR cost $400 and a real one that has a full auto selector switch costs about ten times more and I’d have to register it as a machine gun and pay a $200 tax.

I own a legal machine gun, only $400.  Cool.

It’s lots of fun to play with at the range, and I’ve even deer hunted with it, although the .223 caliber is a better  varmit round.

The radical left wing black female mayor of St Louis is sending me a message not to take my legal machine gun to St Louis.  

Since I avoid encounters with cell doors slamming in the St Louis jailhouse and losing all my guns and toys and stuff, I’m leaving my legal machine gun at home, when my wife and I visit St Louis.

So pretend a minute a court won’t strike this law down as a violation of Missouri’s preemption statute, I want to know if one gun you like out of dozens you own, is worth becoming a criminal over?

Would you go to jail over losing your privilege to own a legal machine gun?

Not this hillbilly, no way.ST. LOUIS — Mayor Tishaura O. Jones on Tuesday announced plans to ban “military-grade” weaponry, including the prominent AR-15 and AK-47 model rifles, on city streets.
 Jones told reporters at a press conference that she was pushing for a bill to be introduced at the Board of Aldermen in the coming days. She said the legislation will also aim to stop minors from getting guns, crack down on the proliferation of gun-making kits used to skirt federal possession bans, and rein in random gunfire on New Year’s Day and the Fourth of July.Jones acknowledged the legislation could prompt blowback from a Republican state lawmakers who have spent years dismantling gun regulations and blocking the city from enacting its own. She said she expects the same treatment with the new legislation. But she said people wanted something done.
