Whitehouse.gov Petition: Repeal the 1986 Full Auto Ban

Requires typing in first name, last name, email address, then confirming by clicking on link in email. 100,000 or more signatures within 30 days earns a "response" from the Whitehouse. I figure it can't hurt to let Trump know the extent of our displeasure with the existing infringements. Little or nothing he can do with many of these issues other than the bully pulpit, and I'd guess that full auto is pretty far down his priority list, especially when there are states like Hawaii that don't even recognize the "right to bear arms".

Repeal the 1986 Full Auto Ban 18 USC § 922(o)

The 1986 Hughes Amendment (as part of the Firearm Owners Protection Act) is an unconstitutional ban that limits law abiding citizens from owning fully automatic weapons that were manufactured past May 19, 1986. Since 1934 there have only been 2 known homicides committed with a legally owned fully automatic firearms This law does nothing to prevent crime and it raises the price of legal automatic weapons to a ludicrous price due to supply and demand. Repealing the unconstitutional Hughes Amendment will help restore our God-given right to keep and bear arms.
