40 to 60 rounds fired within a couple of seconds? Gee, what has that RPM except a completely illegal machine gun, Mr. chief? Shouldn't this be BATFE's jurisdiction? Anyone want to contact them and inform them that this chief apparently failed to inform them of a federal firearms offense he knew was going on?
You DO realize that machine guns are NOT illegal to own and use, right?
It is illegal to import or manufacture a NEW machine gun since 1986 without a license.
You can, if you can afford one, walk into a Class 3 Firearms dealer, and purchase any machine gun they have for sale. All it takes is a $200 tax stamp to pay off the ATF.
Although, I think he was referring to Multiple guns in multiple people's hands firing rapidly, not machine weapons.
