If you buy a hand crank gatling gun, I think that doesn't technically count as a machine gun under US law because it's not firing multiple rounds per trigger pull. I don't know if that extends to electrically driven versions of the same mechanism.

Miniguns are legally machine guns, but you can legally own machine guns. There are just extra legal hoops to jump through, which drive the price up.

Like someone said below, they just mounted 4 miniguns in place of the 4 M2 machine guns on a WW2 anti aircraft mount. Looks to be at a machine gun shoot and it's probably either some super rich person's toy or you can rent it.. You can see all the little drones they have flying around that he's shooting at

I think this is just chuds dicking about. Yes people can buy miniguns of course they can what kind of fool would suggest that you shouldn't be able to.

Right? I mean Arnie used an M134 in T2: Judgment Day and he literally didn't even injure a single person with it, so I should be able to have one. :smug:

It does not. If you attach a drill to that crank then you've created a felony.

Does that mean that owning both a power drill and a gatling gun counts as constructive possession?

Perhaps there is a distance requirement which could be discerned by using an ATF agent as the indicator.

That would be wildly hard to prove because both those things have a valid use. Maybe if you had the "gatling gun attachment" choked up in the chuck when they raided your house.

I know what you mean in context but gatling guns having a valid use is still a funny thing to read :v:

I'm surprised there aren't more violently disgruntled ATF agents considering the type of questions they get.

"If I'm in possession of a knife and a person does that constitute construction of a murder?"

"What if I throw the knife? Does inertia become the murderer? Checkmate ATFists."

I feel like the way the bikini top is drawn suggests she might have three boobs.

Like clearly her right boob is in line with her belly button so presumably there is a third, righter boob behind the child.
