MACHINE GUNS AND OTHER FIREARMS
A machine gun is defined as any firearm, which
shoots, or is designed to shoot, automatically, more than
one shot, without manual reloading, by single function of
the trigger. The term also includes any conversion part,
frame or receiver of a machine gun, or any firearm deemed
as such by the federal government. Upon a showing of
good cause, a permit for possession and/or transportation
may be issued by the Department of Justice. It has been
reported that the Department of Justice refuses to grant
such permits.

Note: the only full auto weapon I ever fired was an M16 in the Air Force (back during the Vietnam era). While I own and shoot semi auto pistols, I prefer revolvers (wheel guns). I believe in the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid).
