This was a free country before 1968, then they passed a new
law which required all "destructive devices" to be registered and deactivated. Historical cannons outside of court houses had the barrels cut and the breech welded, the barrel filled with concrete.

But Texas, like many states does allow ownership of real machine guns IF the federal laws on background checks and taxes/registration are followed. So maybe the owner of the AA is the most trustworthy and honest fellow in the county. Or maybe he is just a Jane Fonda fan and wants her to come visit. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm See http://www.fija.org/ more about your rights and duties.
