  • “Again? Ok, no more ambian and rum, this time I am serious.”

    First see if the blood pattern tells me anything of value. Next steps are to find peroxide to clean my clothes of blood and if I am out of luck, improvise. Then I’d see if I can figure anything out about what happened. Wipe off the knife handle, scrub under my nails with bleach, cut the phone lines to the house, break the back door or a window, find anything of value to steal and bury nearby for later retrieval, then do some shots of alcohol, get in the backseat of the car and touch a bunch of stuff in the car, puke, and start walking along the road until I can flag someone down and ask to use their phone to call the cops.

    After that is just a matter of knowing nothing besides going to bed after 2 Ambien and a hearty amount of 94 proof rum and waking up in the unfamiliar car and stumbling into the house and finding the stranger dead, didn’t have my phone, didn’t look for their phone because I wanted to GTFO in case the murderer was still there, went to get help and here we are.

    Best case no big problem, worst case I get a few charges that won’t stick unless the victim’s phone can prove I did it. If it can prove I did it, rip bozo.




  • Not sure what the second question is.

    There are an estimated 741k legal machine guns in the US. There has only been one incident of self-defense with a lawfully possessed machine gun, he was not guilty. There has only been 3 cases of legally owned machine guns being used in a homicide, two of those were cops, since 1934. Machine guns used in crime are unlawfully owned or manufactured.

    The means of self defense does not matter in most cases, that does vary by state though. If you have a handgun and attack me, and I have an M16, and I kill you, I am within my rights assuming I had not provoked your attack.

    Some states that are anti-gun would say that you using a gun against someone with a knife is an uneven use of force, so using a machine gun in those states against someone with a knife who is attacking you would be a big court case. Why they think an attacker should have fair odds and be met with a knife fight is beyond me. The loser of a knife fight dies in the street and the winner dies in the ambulance, shoot the fucker and live to sort out the rest.





  • Prior to 1986, any US citizen could buy pretty much any machine gun they wanted so long as it was registered and the tax on the transfer was paid.

    After 1986, you could not buy a new machine gun but could buy a “transferrable”(registered prior to 1986) machine gun as long as the tax was paid and you pass a background check.

    This lead to a ton of registrations of various means to covert a semi auto gun into a full auto gun, some as simple as two pieces of metal sheet.

    Post '86 machines guns are not transferrable between civilians unless the civilians have a special type of license that qualifies them as a manufacturer or demonstrator of certain weapons.

    The demonstration class requires you to be actively demonstrating the firearms to law enforcement or government agencies as certified by a letter expressing interest or demand. So you have to have a department advocating on your behalf so that you could take transfer of a post 1986 machine gun.

    For manufacturers, there is the expectation of demonstration, so you can’t just make a machine gun for your own usage, it has to be demonstrated.

    So there are only 12 m134 “gatling” guns that were registed prior to 1986 that can be purchased by your average Joe with a clean record. Most are prized pieces in a collection and will likely only see the auction block once a generation. They fire 2,000-6,000 rounds a minute, an M4(full auto AR-15) fires 700-970 rounds per minute.

    There are supposedly also 6 transferrable mk19 automatic 40mm grenade launchers out there which go for over $600k. Problem with those is each round costs between $400 and $3000 and takes 9-18 months to transfer.
