2nd Amendment and the delineation of fully automatic weapons?

I am a Federally licensed gun dealer, with a Class I license (allows the buy and sale of semi-auto and manually chambered firearms) and a CCW which permits me to carry semi auto concealed. Personally, I agree with the regulations as they stand now, in that I agree that while there is a need, and a right, for private citizens and dealers to handle fully automatic weapons and explosives (Class III), I do not think that right should be granted unequivocally. I view it as "a right to have the weapon, but a privilege to be granted the license." As the law is written now, if you are not a felon, do not have a history of mental defect or domestic violence, and are willing to pay the fees and grant the required permission regarding warrant-less search and security, anyone can acquire a Class III and possess fully automatic weapons and explosives.

While I would love to own full autos, and would love even more to sell them, :) I think the line has been drawn in the correct place.

What is your opinion of the delineation of fully automatics and the 2nd Amendment?

Can I purchase a gun in Louisiana even if I'm not a citizen of that state?

I’m a United States citizen, raised in Massachusetts, lived most recently in California. I have a valid California driver’s license but I now go to school in Louisiana. Do I need to get a Louisiana ID before I can purchase I firearm? Or is it just as easy as walking into any gun dealer in Louisiana with my California ID and buying a gun? I’ve never owned a gun before, so I’m new to this whole thing.

Did you know Romney's nickname is "Fee fee"???

He opposes raising taxes, but has no problem raising "fees." Some high lights or low lights depending on who you ask include or would have included…
Also under Romney’s plan, the state Department of Mental Retardation would have charged a fee of 0 to determine a client’s eligibility and the Department of Public Health would have charged for initial tuberculosis tests. Another 0 fee would have been assessed for those who tested positive. Those proposals were ultimately rejected.
Prisoners also would have paid more. Romney’s plan would have hiked the cost of a phone call from behind bars to from 86 cents. The price is still 86 cents.
Under Romney’s plan for Massachusetts, the cost of registering firearms would have jumped from to . He also called for increases in the cost of firearm identification cards, application fees for a license to carry firearms, and gun dealer fees.
In all, then-Gov. Romney proposed creating 33 new fees and increasing 57 others — enough, he said, to pull in an extra million for the cash-strapped state.

"It’s a shell game," said Julian Zelizer, professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University. "He can still say he didn’t raise taxes, but fees are taxes by another name. It’s a trick."
