Pure_Morning, We have diferences of opinions on that matter so Oh well. I do own an AR15 (civilian semi auto M16) I have a gun safe so they are locked up at my house, bolted to the wall from inside the safe.

blomkaal, Thanks. I am 29 turning 30 in Jan. I have a clean record and have never been convictied of a fellony. Here in Arizona, as long as you have a clean record, are over 18 and have an Arizona drivers license you can walk in and purchase any semi auto fire arm up to the Barret 50 cal. Handguns, shotgun and rifles no problem. No waiting period either. For $200 you can take two Saturday classes and get your conceal and carry permit. Without the permit you are allowed to carry a firearm almost anywere as long as it is in sight. Places like banks, school, airports, you are not allowed to bring them in.

With a serious background check, the sheriffs approval $2000, and a lot of classes you can get a level 2 license that allows you to purchase full autos, silencers and short shotguns.

I am just explaining the gun laws here.
