Bit of late night booze-induced wondering about nfa rules here.
So far as I know, single shot and semi-automatics are generaly still legal in most places. Full-automatics, are at best, heavily restricted.
Ok, I can see a glimer of reasoning how a weapon which can stream fire for as long as its capacity allows can be seen as too dangerous for the civilian-militia type person.
What about if the gun only fired a two shot burst?
The muzzle dosnt travel very far between two shots. It wouldnt be much more dangerous than what already exists in the form of shotguns or semi-autos bump fired with light triggers.
If two, then why not 3?
Its a standard trigger group of many military weapons. A cross between ammo-conservative but still better than just one shot. A downright militia minded middleground for modern war.
It also makes weapons of smaller "safer" calibers more effective. Something like a 3 round burst .22lr rifle could be realisticly handy for hunting while not exactly being a lethal street sweeper.
What do you suppose the chances are that burst firing weapons could be argued as different from full-autos?
There by needing different (fewer) restrictions?
