Ever heard of competetion meets? There's one reason. You can't just cross a state line and buy one. You have to be a resident of the non-ban state at the time of purchase. I have no intention of hunting with mine I'll tell you that up front. But I ask you this, who do the laws stop? The law abiding or the criminals. I really don't think the criminals care about your opinions or your bans. If you don't know, don't answer. That is what we are here for right?

Who said anything about an automatic weapons ban?

Maybe I need to be more specific. Here's the tricky part. If you own a pre-ban weapon right now, you can move anywhere because you weapon is grandfathered. There was no law prohibiting you manufacturing, buying selling, ect. Now that the ban has expired, there still remains 7 states that have their own ban. Those states ban will be in effect during the purchase (not like with the orignal ban where there was no previous ban). Now if you purchased as a resident of a non ban state today, could you keep possession if you moved to a states where the ban was in effect on the date of purchase. Its an entirely different situation now. If the laws passes again and the weapons are banned a weapon bought today could only be grandfathered and treated as "pre ban" in 43 states at best unlike those prior to the 1994 that would remain legal in all 50 states. So if I bought today and moved to a banned state in 6 months for example, how would that play out?That states ban was current at sale.

no, if you want to give it away.

Yes, you would. Otherwise, the automatic weapons ban would be completely ineffective, as people could just go across the state line to get their unnecessarily destructive firearm ("for hunting," they say - yea, right).
Why would you need an assault rifle, anyway? Unless you're planning on killing a lot of people, there's no real reason to have that instead of a standard rifle, shotgun or handgun.

Ultimately, that would depend upon the state. For California and Washington DC, you may face fines and imprisonment just for having the weapon in your possession, not to mention confiscation of the weapon itself. Welcome to the new USA, where the "S" stands for Socialism.

No, they aren't banned from being owned, just from being bought and sold.
