You mean like this? YouTube - Family Guy - Flea Exterminators

Anyways, I don't really get roaches, just lots of spiders. I used to try to smack them into trash cans while avoiding them like the plague, but I got this "As Seen On TV" type product for Christmas a couple years ago. It basically captures insects in a plastic capsule using suction power, but now I'm too freaked out by the thought of emptying the capsule that it just gets FILLED with dead bugs.

[quote=samurai007;772928]Automatic weapons are already illegal in the US and have been for a very long time. Fully automatic means that you can hold down the trigger and it keeps firing.

This statement is not correct I currently live in Arizona and you can own a machine gun with a class three gun licenses. In fact I was at a gun show the other day and a few people there were selling machine guns, full automatic machine guns, and cannons. If you dont believe check out this link.

I live in Alaska.

Not only are machine guns not illegal, I have seen a few myself (through various experiences.)

Wasilla High School, my school (and Sarah Palins school ) has an annual gun show, which features guns of all sorts (though no guns are loaded, and there's no ammunition available)

Welcome to the Homepage for the Alaska Machine Gun Association!

Wow...that's the saying for my former high school. We were the "warriors" too. Same type of logo, and before I graduated, the art club (which I was apart of), made a Native American bust to put on a stand type thing in front of the school.

Upon further investigation, you're right. The 1986 law made it illegal to sell new machine guns to civilians, but it did not outlaw existing or second-hand guns. However, those are still strictly controlled and require expensive licenses in most states (and have since the 1934 law), and some states (like California) refuse to give out civilian licenses for them.

Semi-automatic weapons are not illegal in the US. That means each time you pull the trigger, 1 bullet is fired. Semi-auto was an advancement over the older rifles that required you to manually chamber each round before it could be fired.

Assault rifles in the military usually have 3 settings available: full auto, burst fire (3 rounds are fired with each pull of the trigger), and semi-auto (just 1 bullet). When they are sold to the public, the mechanisms that allow anything besides semi-auto fire are removed.

While that is true, it is easy to convert your semi auto rifle into a fully automatic rifle with a kit than can be bought quite easily and is legal to buy in the united states.

It is a messed up law like the "drug paraphernalia" law, You buy it ofr a different purpose but it is actually used in an illegal fashion.

I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

Basically I was mentioning things like glass pipes that are sold in the United States as a "tobacco Smoking Accessory." however even if it is completely clean and a cop pulls you over and finds even a trace of pot in your car it is considered drug paraphernalia.

Sold as one thing, but used and viewed as another.

But who uses bongs and glass pipes to smoke tobacco?
