This argument is from the Machingun Guy below. I think the title should be changed to "the argument to be unrestricted", because it's legal to own pre-ban machine guns. It needs to be made legal again to produce yourself at home if you have the skills. Unrestricted. We need to have all our rights as it was before the Al Capone days. It was unconstitutional then as it is now to be restricted in any way, shape, or form. I would also like to note that Gatling guns are still unrestricted and 100% legal to buy without special tax stamps. No one from the government has explained to me how a tax stamp makes the firearm any safer. I'm still confused and baffled by that, because it doesn't, and it's all completely unconstitutional.
During WWII, there were a couple of interesting facts concerning the decisions made by the AXIS powers. Do you know which European country was not invaded/conquered by the Nazis? How about why the Japanese never invaded the continental United States?
The answer to the Japanese question was because Admiral Yamamoto said that “behind every blade of grass (in America) was a rifle”. The answer to the Nazi question? Switzerland, for essentially the same reason.
Switzerland has had mandatory military service since WWI or before, but with one notable exception when compared to our military discharge policy……every Swiss serviceman/woman takes their military firearm back home. That means not only is everyone in that country armed, but nowadays they return home with fully automatic weapons. More than likely, every household in Switzerland has access to a live machine gun. Have there been any problems with the Swiss and their proliferation of firearms? I wasn’t aware of them invading anyone or starting border skirmishes.
Nazi generals knew they might be able to get their tank/armored/assault divisions in-country on those thin hairpin mountain roads, but when it came to their support infantry or even re-supply; they would in turn be fired on by every 10yr old to great grandparent marksmen/women from elevated (and camouflaged) positions.
I could see that sudden mortality rate skyrocketing as being kind of disheartening for the Nazi troop morale, regardless of their Pervitin use:

Those same generals came up with a great idea, let’s just sign a treaty and go around.
I wonder if China, Russia, drug cartels, terrorists, traffickers, gang-bangers, Globalists, and/or the UN would think the same way. Instead of our adversaries always having the advantage, the playing field would be leveled. Have you ever heard of serial killers and/or mass shootings in Switzerland? Has any other country even messed with Switzerland? I haven’t noticed anything; could there be some correlation here? Look at Swiss immigration policies as well. They are a pretty closed society and I haven’t heard of any street-gang issues there.
When our founding fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment, we were still receiving military aid from the French (rifles included), and there were NO differences between styles of operation/function of the French firearms and those used by the British. If machineguns were available back then, the French would have made certain we got those as well because at the time they were also supplying us with artillery, which Francis Scott Key noticed before penning his “one-hit-wonder” in 1814.
The real basis of the 2nd amendment is for the government to respect its citizens, not bully them. The history of gun control internet link is below:

The above article is a good reference of what happened in which year around the world, along with their inevitable follow-on genocides, so always remember those results of the human losses when considering those “control” policies.
When the bullying gets really egregious around here, you end up having to send D.O.G.E. to the rescue to cut off funds for frivolous/delaying lawsuits by activist attorneys, judges, and Soros & Son funded NGO’s and their minions.
Another Swiss item of interest….suppressors. Over there, they are treated and sold like any basic firearm accessory (sling, scope, magazine, etc.). With the entire Swiss population who enjoys shooting as a sport, you are considered rude by your neighbors if you don’t use one, especially with those echoes rolling all through those Alps. You also don’t have to worry about those muzzle reports creating any avalanches pushing your home, cars, and everything else down some slope.
As most firearms owners know, suppressors are not ‘silencers’, all while Hollywood exaggerates their effectiveness in James Bond films. Movies tend to persuade society (either intentionally or accidentally), and they depict silencers as being a part of assassin-only weapons, when in reality, no one likes to wear hearing protection, which then messes up their hairdos/wigs/hairpieces.
Here is what I am referring to specifically regarding changes:
The National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 imposes an excise tax on the manufacture and transfer of Title 2 firearms (machineguns, suppressors, short-barrel rifles (SBR’s) and mandates the registration of those firearms.
Modify the NFA with the repeal of the following (2) acts, as well as remove from the NFA act the regulations/registrations/taxes on both short-barrel rifles as well as suppressors.
1. The Gun Control Act of 1986 banned the Importation of NFA firearms
2. Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 / Hughes Amendment, which prohibits individuals from acquiring a machinegun that was US manufactured after 1986
The Courts have recently held that the NFA provision (criminalizing possession of certain firearms-including machine guns) was not in violation of the Second Amendment’s restriction, and therefore WAS CONSTITUTIONAL from United States vs. Morgan. <-- They got it wrong on purpose. Corrupt judges at the time.
The Supreme Court also ruled against pistol braces being classified as buttstocks with regard to short-barrel rifles. We all know how those braces are really used; they are really used as buttstocks.
The Supreme Court also just recently allowed Forced Reset Triggers FRT’s (which are unregistered and run as fast as full auto) back into regular domestic sales for both the AR-15 as well as the AK-47. Check out the video below (especially its final comparison segment).
