Those are both Class III firearms under the National Firearms Acts. You have to submit finger prints, a form signed by the chief law enforcement officer, anda photo, all in duplicate, plus a $200 tax for each weapon. Then you have to wait for the ATF to get around to approving the transfer - after the FBI checks you out. Yeah, there's no limit at all. Fucking liars.
Semi Auto AK's are not Class III. Plus they hand them out at the gun show for like $320 a piece. Same as buying a Hand Gun here in AZ at least, if not even easier. Not sure if they do a semi-auto version of the Uzi, if they did it would also not be considered Class III.

Thing is - anyone taking the Class III argument needn't bother - the guy was using hand guns, which can be found at any pawn shop / gun store and in most states (Including AZ) can be purchased and taken away same day after a quick call to the Feds by the dealer.[/b]
Yes, but when you see AK-47 or Uzi, most people automatically think fully automatic, angry Muslim guy, or Rambo, etc. The average person doesn't think scary looking, one bullet per trigger squeeze, pretty tame weapon. All I ask for is a little truth in advertising - and the AK-47 and UZI are both full auto in their unmodified forms. The semi-auto ones are either modified after the factory or are made from modified plans for the original. In reality, I could probably do more damage with a bolt action .22LR and a trip to Lowes or Home Depot.
