If Charlie Manson was released from prison and tried to buy a fully auto rifle at a gun show, would he succeed?

Update:

Thankyoumam, if that's the case why was this guy able to buy an AK without even showing a drivers license? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baPgr_tw79Q&feature...

    No. He'd have to actually try a local bar. Nice country.

    No, gun shows do not allow fully automatic weapons. They require a special license that costs around $2500, and the gun itself costs about $15000 if you are lucky.

    An AK is not fully automatic, and he did not buy it from a gun show vendor. They run background

    checks which only takes a few seconds.

    The guy bought the gun from another guy who wanted to get rid of it. People can sell their guns to

    whomever they wish, they are not required to run background checks.

    What a waste of time you are.

    Youtube video from anti-gun lobby.

    No need to actually claim it's truth, no need to be honest since it's you tube.

    No need to show all the dealers who required ID, just the ones who didn't.

    if you are going to offer "evidence", lets try and keep it to something believable to anyone who isn't a brain dead member of the Libby Loser club.

    Oh right, consider the source.

    Brain dead member of the Libby Loser club.

    No. The swastika on the forehead would be a direct giveaway. Gun show enthusiasts are law and order types, first and foremost. He wouldn't get through the door. But nice libby melodrama.

    No, because you need a federal permit to buy a fully auto rifle.

    the real question is why would he buy a gun? as i remember he used other people to kill people he didn't do the dirty work

    Not likely. If he couldn't get a gun or someone to kill for him, I bet he would use a knife. Fact is the anti-gun movement is about as foolish as the liberal movement. It will always fail.

    Yes, he would buy one illegally.

    Probably in Texas he would.
