Liberals can be influenced by words and memes, fascists need something stronger.

Agree. Shame there is only like 12 civilian transferrable examples that rarely come up for auction and the last one sold for $600k a few years back.

Opening the registry might bring them down to the "Mini gun or V10 Lambo" range.

It’s because in the USA you could legally own machine guns before the 1970s(?). Since the USA rarely retroactively makes things illegal… all the transferable miniguns were made before then and are registered to the ATF.
